Linsoul7HZ Timeless in Ear Monitor, 14.2mm Planar HiFi in-Ear Earphone with CNC Aluminum Shell, Detachable MMCX Cable (3.5mm)

I bought this pair of ChiFi IEM's because almost every review I have read simply love them. They stand up and compare very well to much more expensive IEM'sThey sound very good. They are not the prettiest but I didn't care about that. With the right Silicone tip you can get lots of warmth. I have yet to find the perfect silicone tip that will stay securely in my right ear, so I do have to push them in on one side only. I think this is less about the 7Hz and more about finding the right fit. They came with a nice variety of tips, decent cable and decent sound staging for placement of instruments throughout your head. It comes with a fancy aluminum box which I feel is useless, and a waste of money that they could have put into a useful case that you'll end up buying to store them in your pockets. It's more a piece of art than useful. They use Mcxx connectors and I like them as the pins have a definitive click, rotate around the pin and don't bend or break if you push them in wrong. I got these at a great price because so many people buy, try and return them. They were in brand new shape and interestingly enough the last owner only tried one of the tips and it was the one that has no bass, so they may have missed out on how good they sound. These are outstanding value at under $200.00 CAD. Don't get fooled into paying the $500.+ that I occasionally see them at.

"Wow" is all I can say! Light as a feather and huge sounding. By comparison, my first pair was an $85 BASN, which sounded good for the price. These are half the size and twice the clarity, so they are worth double the price. I am unsure if spending more than $200 on a pair of IEMs is a point of diminishing returns, but I am quite happy with these and will probably stop here.My only beef is that it did not come with memory foam tips, but $8 on Amazon solved that!

Oooh boy. I purchased these as another lower-mid range IEM to add to my quickly growing collection. Mainly picked them up after reading the hype behind them from all of the major reviewers. Not going to lie, I was genuinely concerned before receiving them. I was worried I was getting myself worked up, and that they would fall short of what I was anticipating. So glad I was wrong.Packaging is excellent, though some would consider it maybe a little wasteful. The machined aluminum box it comes with is super nice, even if you struggle to fit the IEMs in them with a better cable. Speaking of the cable, it is fine. Not phenomenal by any means, but it's serviceable. The red accents may be a bit TOO red for some, but it's fine. Ear tips it comes with are good, but I have only had good luck when it comes to fit and sound with the blue ones. The clear ones at a bit too much in the highs for my tastes, and the tall tips do not fit well for me. Build quality is excellent on my pair. Seam is noticeable, but that is to be expected of the metal housing. Despite looking obnoxious, the fit and comfort is fine on these. The driver only really sticks out about what you would expect a standard IEM to, as the circular pattern is largely flat. Now to the fun stuff.These. Sound. Great.I absolutely LOVE what these are doing. Like I mentioned earlier, the sound signature can be affected quite a bit by the ear tips, so all of these comments will reference the blue tips included. I did also try other tips, such as spring tips from Moondrop and SpinFits, and overall would still lean towards the blue ones. Bass is excellent. You definitely get that planar punch and speed, though it is far from overpowering. Mids are relaxed, but still well-detailed. In my opinion, these shine in the upper range. The highs are bright, clear, and there is plenty of airiness. With most of the tips, I find them right at the edge of harsh, but they never really overstep. The blue tips bring this down a bit while keeping nearly all of the detail. Soundstage is a bit middle-of-the-road, but that's to be expected of IEMs in this price range. The technical detail that these can provide is astonishing. They also take EQ like a champ if you want to bring the bass up or draw back the highs. Using Wavelet to give me Crinacle's tuning makes these about perfect for me.These are, by far, my most fun pair of IEMs. Whether I am walking around my house or just lounging in bed, I always find myself going back to these over my other IEMs. They are relatively easy to drive, sound good on most players, are super light, and just... EVERYTHING. I have had a few co-workers try these out, and they are also pretty taken aback by the sound. While some people have had QA issues in the past, my pair had no obvious balancing issues or anything like that. Overall, I am so glad I picked these up. If you like the idea of a planar IEM, just do it.

7hz almost knocked this out of the park and I'm really looking forward to a slightly better tuned version with less mid-bass.The good:Lots of bass that doesn't bleed into the mids (likely due to being a planar IEM). This means you can listen at low volumes and not miss a beat. Even when you turn up the volume, it doesn't distort. Lower distortion means great detail retrieval when not overpowered by the mid-bass (see cons).Great treble extension, forward mids, and treble extension without being sibilant.Excellent separation and layering. Nothing gets lost even in busy tracks.Incredibly low distortion and comfortable to listen to for hours.Not difficult to drive and responds well to EQ (see cons).Excellent selection of tips although none of them worked for me (see cons).The bad:Surprisingly, the cable is not great for bass texture. Any cheap cable Linsoul cable is much better (but for the price you shouldn't need a cable swap).The length of the nozzle (short) and angle of the nozzle is not great and causes discomfort. I can only listen to them for 30 minutes with silicon tips. Need foam or Xelastec for all day comfort.Tuning is far too mid-bass heavy for my tastes and drowns out the detail that these are capable off. It's a shame that you have to EQ this beast.I'd like to see an updated version with a Harman-like tuning and a better nozzle. I think that would be very hard to beat. Ear discomfort is the main reason I returned these but looking forward to what 7Hz can produce in the future.

Best sound quality for IEMs that I've used yet, especially when listening to midi music.Clear, punchy sound that really delivers. The soundstage isn't exactly wide with these but the clarity more than makes up for it. Perfect when paired with a Quest 3.
