Included in the box.

Funnily, there is hardly anything included in the tiny generic Shozy branded box besides the IEM, a cheap 2-pin cable, tiny case and 2 set of generic SML eartips – which is quite disappointing considering Elsa is priced at $680. Come on Shozy, stay current with the competition! You got to make your buyers feel special when they’re spending $680 because these days IEMs 1/5th the asking price come with a great cable, variety of nice ear tips, excellent packaging and other goodies.

Build Quality, Fit and Comfort.

The Elsa unit I received has a honeycomb faceplate and solid black shells. They are well built, extremely small and extremely ergonomic like the Shozy BG. They fit my ears like a glove and are an IEM that I can comfortably wear while lying down sideways and even sleep with them in without any discomfort.

Cable – The stock cable is disappointing to say the least. It is extremely thin and looks very cheap. Shozy should’ve included a decent premium cable with the Elsa as its asking price of $680 is not cheap by any means.

Case – On the other hand, I quite like the tiny Shozy case. It fits Elsa and even thicker premium cables really well and is small enough for me to comfortably carry it in my jeans pocket.
