![]() The boosted upper mids help keep things sounding good but I do feel a lack in overall treble detail. Something has to give and for the Deer, they go for the warm signature that has lacking details in the highs. This is always the trade off with single DD IEMs for me. ![]() The rest of the upper frequencies are somewhat relaxed. It’s not quite sibilant but it’s definitely noticeable. The upper mids to lower treble do have a boost that comes in a little strong for my tastes. Male vocals sound super smooth and enjoyable but I find the female vocals to be a little muted in comparison. The instruments have a warmer tone but vocals go for a smoother presentation. The mids are above average in my books in terms of guitars and vocals quality. This could also be due to the smaller single DD driver being used as well. That being said, It has a fuller sound and for the most part I’m alright with the way the Deer handles the bass. It can sound a little congested at times and it causes some bleed into the lower mids. It has a more intense midbass however and I think this is due to the non ventilated design. It has decent subass performance with a noticeable thump when called for. The Deer goes for a warmer single DD sound signature. Things like ear tip selection and DAC/amp selection will produce different results and impressions vs what my ears hear on my specific gear. This was also using CP360 eartips from Spinfit. ![]() These are what the Acoustic Deer sounded like to my ears. Sound(overall) These final impressions were done off a mix of the Khadas Tea, Lotoo PAW S1 and the SMSL SU-9 connected to the SMSL SP400. Super straightforward and while I’m pampered by companies like DUNU and Moondrop when it comes to awesome unboxing experiences, I’m alright with a basic setup for IEMs like this. It flips open to reveal the IEMs, under that is some eartips and the warranty card. Packaging and accessoriesThe Deer comes in a green/teal box that is fairly simple. I would absolutely be ok using this in a quiet office or on a plane. Since the Deer is sealed, I don’t hear much of the outside world and the sound leakage is very minimal. The issue with vented IEMs is the sound leakage that tends to be louder and not that good for quiet areas. This isn’t a normal single DD IEM that uses vent holes to relieve pressure from the driver. Isolation and sound leakageThe passive Isolation is good here. The shells are like the perfect size for my ears and it makes a super secure and comfy seal and I can listen to these for long sessions without any issues at all. What does “do it” for me is the fit and comfort. The faceplate uses a “gem like crystals” that make the IEM look like something that would come out of those bling bling item stores you see at the mall. The shell is a nice polished metal which gives a mirror finish. Looks and fitI’ll start out by saying I personally hate the looks of the faceplate being used on the Deer. Gear UsedIPhone 12 pro with headphone adapter, Lotoo Paw S1, Khadas Tea, SMSL SU-9 feeding the SP400 amp. I listen to a lot of genres but I hover in the classic rock, blues and edm music with some rap here and there. ![]() When it comes to an over ear headphone I prefer a spacious sound with a deep low end, the mids to be more forward and the highs to be a little bright with some sparkle. Onto the review of the Heartfield Acoustic Deer! My personal preference is a hybrid/tribrid IEM where I get good hitting bass and have a detailed treble with decent mids. The Acoustic can be picked up from Linsoul at their website below. While I always appreciate the chance to test and review products sent in from manufacturers, it never affects the rating of my reviews. Quick shoutout to Linsoul for sending the Acoustic Deer to review. I will be referring to the Acoustic Deer simply as the Deer for the rest of my review to make my life easier. This is a smaller 6.8mm single dynamic driver unit coming from Heartfield. I tend to test bigger brand IEMs in general but once in a blue moon I’ll get the chance to try something from a new company and I was recently sent the Heartfield Acoustic Deer IEM to check out and review.
