EarAcoustic Audio STA Hi-End Series IEMs Review
A dual dynamic coil IEM from EarAcoustic Audio with a 10mm and a 6mm diaphragm per the page, listed at $59.90 as a single Hi-End option. The page gives a sensitivity above 110 dB/mW and a 0.78mm dual-pin interchangeable cable.

Our verdict
A dual dynamic coil IEM for someone who wants a listed sensitivity (above 110 dB/mW) and THD (under 0.5%) and an interchangeable 0.78mm dual-pin cable at $59.90. Look elsewhere if you need a listed impedance, cable length or plug type, since the listing text gives none. The main caveat is that the page also describes a Hi-End MAX that is not an orderable option here, and its sound and distortion claims are the maker's own.

Shipping
- Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
- Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
- Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
- Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
- Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
- Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
- Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
- Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
- Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
- Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.

We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store. Ratings and owner reviews shown on the store's own pages are the store's and were not verified.
What we liked
- The page lists a sensitivity above 110 dB/mW and a THD under 0.5%
- An interchangeable cable with a 0.78mm dual-pin design is named, per the page
- The page names its diaphragm materials: beryllium-plated 10mm and polymer composite 6mm
- A single $59.90 option keeps the choice simple
Worth noting
- The listing text gives no impedance and no plug type
- The page describes a Hi-End MAX too, but only Hi-End is the orderable option shown, so the text covers a version that is not orderable here
- Distortion, transient response and signal attenuation figures are the maker's claims, and none was checked here
- The listing text gives no cable length

What we couldn’t verify
- The page's distortion, transient response and sound descriptions (analytical clarity, warm listening) are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
- The listing text gives no impedance, cable length, plug type or weight, per the page's own text.
- Per the page the Hi-End MAX is described alongside the Hi-End, but only the Hi-End is shown as orderable, so the MAX details may not apply to this listing.
- We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
- The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
