I might be able to tell you my amateurish 2 cents once mine arrives at some point ha ha.
This one looks awesome (except its shape), this may be my next IEM!
Just waiting for more reviews and comparisons specially against the Dunu Zen before pulling the trigger (looking at you @Resolution and @Rikudou_Goku ), i am curious about hearing a planar IEM.

Would be nice to compare with Tri i3 or Tri i3 pro!
@Rikudou_Goku has i3 Pro, IMO biggest difference will be in bass region since i3 Pro has DD and itās quite elevated in subbass region

So after around an hours listening, here are my 1st impressions.
- Presentation.
I was expecting the box to be lightweight and tinny but no, itās heavy and rather niceā¦Iāll be keeping it for sore so simple but nice Presentation - Fit.
These are BIG but also light and are a surprisingly comfortable fit and because they are flat it was a joy and surprise to find that, if your pillow is soft enough, you can sleep in them which is a huge plus for me as most of my listening is late night in bed.
The following is based on using my standard newbie foam tips and the following set up.
Node 2i into Chord 2qute into JDS Atom (so a pretty clean and neutral sound)
3. Bass
Now im in no way a bass head (in fact i tend to the other end of the spectrum) but the bass on theseā¦oh my lordy lord!!
The graph would indicate that they are rolled off but thatās not how they sound. They go deep and hit quite hard when required but the sheer speed and texture and clarity is utterly beguiling.
Listening to my album de jour (interstellar ost) there is a big gong hit on the opening track and as it decays it bleeds seamlessly into a deep church organ tone and it sounds utterly glorious on these.
Drums are also a highlight. Iād swear the kick drum on the intro to Hotel California (Hell freezes over) sounds like the skin is a little slack thereās that much detail and texture.
Gavin Harrisons drum breaks just before the guitar solo on No Manās Land (The Pineapple Thief - Your Wilderness) is spectacular.
Bass heads are going to love these
4. Midds
Clean and detailed with male and female vocals being handled nicely
If there is a criticism its that there isnāt enough midds for my ideal taste (but refer to my conclusion)
5.treble.
No complaints here, plenty of air and enough extension but itās not aggressive or wearing in any way.
6. Stage
Nice and airy stage. Itās still between the ears but itās not the tiny intense central speedball of the P1.
Conclusion and thoughts.
Now speaking to personal taste, these are tuned a little too warm/dark against my ideal.
The driver does bass so well it doesnāt need that mid-bass boost so Iād like to see a slightly more neutral tuning.
But in all honesty Iām being picky. 7hz have themselves a winner and I just hope they can stay on top of QC when the floodgates open.
If you get these (and you should) just give your ears time to adjust as they do sound different to anything else.
Iād wait until the reviews of those with better ears and descriptive skill than me post their thoughts just to be sure Iām not talking out of my arse (wouldnāt be the 1st time) but I think 7hz have knocked this out the park.
One things for sure, Tin hifi are going to have to do something spectacular to win the planar crown back as 7hz have nicked it and disappeared over the hill with it.
Oh and nymz
EDIT.
These change character quite a bit with a change in tips.
My original statement about being a little warm doesnāt apply with Symbio hybrid tips as they sound more towards neutral so well worth tip rolling.

Great description, thanks for doing it. Iām only worried about that mids/upper mids, but sounds great so far.

planar IEM bullying is real and if we ignore it, we, as a community, are covering up our dirty laundry.
That doesnāt make it go away.
