Anyone's purchase from Ali sale ( nice hck ) shipped ?

Well, in such cases can apply the ancient Chinese proverb "If one is unsure whether the quoted number of drivers are per housing or in total, one should buy iems with uneven number of drivers quoted."

Thanks for the reply. If you also have the LZ A4, how would you compare the sound?

Like @HungryPanda mentioned I've got them as well and shared my impressions here (just check the thread title for the correct page):

In short my impression mirrors his and I'd consider it a very capable pair of IEM's on the same level of performance as the A4 and B400.

Back at the end of 2016, when I began buying earphones and earbuds, on a whim, I ordered the HotFi HM1, which has Dynamic drivers for Bass, and Knowles 30017 Balanced Armature drivers for Treble. Now that I've seen the way that the stores list things, I'm not entirely sure whether the HM1 has 2 Dynamic drivers and 2 Balanced Armature drivers per side, or 4 drivers in total between the two housings. Either way I think they sound as good as the LZ A4 (with the Black back), and they're more comfortable in my ears.

I'd like to get the LZ A5, but I'm a bit concerned about the reports of the driver level drops, which I've experienced with the LZ A4.

I would advise against the A5. I have experienced the left side failing on a couple of occasions, same as it does on the A4. And just like the A4, "resting" the IEMs for 30 minutes to an hour fixes the issue. The even bigger issue for me though is the sound. I think the A4 sounds better overall, although the A5 is technically superior.

I'm nearing the end of my review (finally) and it should be up over the next couple of days.

Does anyone have the SD7 and the SD7+ and can offer a comparison between the two? I'd think that the hybrid would have more sub bass and bass in comparison but its more of a quality comparison I'd prefer to know. It seems like quite the price just for the DD driver in the SD7+ versus the SD7.

If i am not mistaken @Dsnuts has both and he did give impressions on the discovery thread.

The SD7+ doesn't have a DD

 

[bsoplinger]

The SD7+ doesn't have a DD

Yeah now that I read what I wrote it sure seems to say that. I was thinking that the use of BA for bass instead of a DD as in the hybrid shouldn't make it that much more expensive but as you observed that's not what I conveyed with my words.

FiiO FH5 will prob outperform anything in the coming months, a FiiO guy allowed me to test their prototype, and safe to say it fixed F9 Pro's issues and out performs FLC new models and other hybrids

One thing we can say is Fiio has certainly been aggressive in releasing updated products and attentive to customer issues. Kudos to them on that, Price tags have been steadily sneaking upward with each new generation though so I will be interested to see if the FH5 drives the price of the F9 down or if it comes in at $200 and leaves the F9 Pro at the $140 mark where it sits now. I would love to see them push the price envelope as hard as they are pushing the model releases. Put the FH5 out at the $99 mark and see how many other outfits you can put out of business with it please!

I think, come a few weeks or months, the ZSR will be appreciated more and more. They deliver an insane amount of fun with their detail, warm signature, addictive soundstage and deep bass.

Exactly my observations. Fun, detailed (although highs can feel artificial sometimes), warm, soundstage is better, and the sub bass is really well done. I just hope ZS10 will be similar and a bit more than ZSR.

The FH5 really outclassed many IEMS imo can even knock out IT04 i feel for its price (quoted around 250USD) Its really good honestly head on fighting IT04
