Once upon a time, you could actually get a Yinyoo ST7 (identical to the Shuoer EJ07) for like 500 usd.

Any price info?

Wonder how it compares to the Creative Aurvana Ace tws´s.

Again, EJ07 is not lacking in a vacuum it’s just that Doscinco is a beast in terms of those bass aspects. Everything shy of Titan, Scarlet Mini etc will be lacking in terms of density and slam compared to Doscinco, but it’s not like we were complaining before Doscinco came around, were we?

It’s got tons of bass brother, unless you compare it to true basshead sets.

The graph outright lies, it sounds like it has a bass glide to my ears.

Yep, went down to around 470 usd at the lowest.

iirc, there was 2 version of it though, one with knowles BAs and another with sonion BAs instead.

Another thing i remember is that I am pretty sure people speculated that the Faaeal Hibiscus used the same DD as the EJ07.

OG EJ07 was one of the best IEM’s I heard at CanJam SoCal 2022.

I could relate to this bro. I used to have the Aune M1P and RSV as well. They both must connect amazingly well together.

I agree that EJ07 OG is a fantastic IEM on it´s own and really got that special sauce that everybody is talking about…still if you like your treble and incisiveness it may not be the right IEM.

I also bought Kinda Lava at launch and was missing some bass therefore send it for retuning and got +3db bass shelf which made it very enjoyable and easy to listen to but now I could use some more treble energy, i really like some spice uptop otherwise it becomes too boring. But of course that also depends on genre and mood and if I am listening critically or only in the background while doing something else.

EJ07 (m) takes EQ like a champ and therefore I only EQd the treble to the treble of Cadenza 12 and what can I say…to my ears it´s perfect, finally those ESTs come to live and it did remind me a lot of the experience I had with C12 which is lacking ESTs.

It was just yesterday evening i was listening to one track after another even though i was tired as hell I just could not stop because of how captivating it was.
I once again realized what a fricking good IEM the EJ07(m) is, especially for its price.

I don´t find its stage to be too narrow, I very much enjoy the more direct but not cramped stage presentation compared to the wide stage of my Legend EVO for example.
Also the EQ of the treble made it more holographic aswell and seemed to help with a more precise imaging and it was easier to track the individual instruments , it was abolutely fantastic.

The bass texture is very very nice and easily competes with more expensive stuff. (I´m looking at you Monarch MKIII)
Also I don´t have any problem with its midrange (abbrassive???), it´s one of the best I´ve heard maybe topped by Penon Impact.
EJ07m likes a lot of juice and comes to live on higher gain.
On Go Blu for example it´s just plain boring.
What source did you use in your 2 weeks with Kinda Lava?
Maybe it also needed some more burn in? I can remember that for me the sound changed to the better…may it be brain or driver burn in, for my perception it was quite real and noticeable.

But yeah, basically you are right

BUY EJ07 (m) and if needed use a little EQ, you will be rewarded.
Both EJ07 and EJ07m use the exact same drivers so I am pretty sure you can achieve EJ07 stage by using EQ on EJ07m.
EJ07 is just more expensive because of the resin shell.
For me it was also a huge benefit getting used to the idea of using EQ in general it just makes something that is really good even better.
For me personally, my EQd Kinda Lava beats Monarch MKIII

Of course you can also try and find the perfect IEM and spend hundreds and hundreds on the search for it or just get a quality product from a trusted brand with high quality drivers and good QC and use a little EQ.

Still I can not forget Cadenza and want to revisit and compare it one day.
Just slap a 3db bass shelf on it and it´s perfect accross my library…in its stock form probably 50% of my library.
Then again I can´t imagine it to be that much better than what i experienced yesterday (max. 10% but memory based comparison has close to zero validity so not sure)

Honestly with some EQ on the treble the 07M is a pretty good deal given the config and the fact that they go on sale very frequently

If you’re down to EQ it’s a very versatile set to play around with

I am not sure about the legend Stamp. Cause I would much prefer Twilight for a bit of money extra ( I know the philosophy is different but still ).

RSV matches my vocal preference and HRTF perfectly so for me it’s a legend :stuck_out_tongue:

That would be the case. The main problem I had with them is air pressure build up, even more than the studio 4
