Even compared to the Tin Hifi P1?

When I compared both in the past, the MT100's MID's sounded more realistic and natural, if not the best I've ever heard coming from a planar. The P1 aren't as smooth, but brighter, which at times sounds too bright to sound natural like the MT100. The bass also comes through as more natural with sub-bass rumble when needed. The P1 needs to be pushed more with an amp to even notice more bass, which it lacks a little of, while the MT100 are easier to drive. They both have good treble and transparency, but the soundstage is much broader on the MT100.

What about the low end on the mt100? Bass, sub bass?

Blessing 2 or lz a7 for an interests of best imaging, separation, detailed, clean and defined treble, natural to bright sounding? I'm tending more towards the lz a7 silver nozzle due his better comfort.. or are there better alternatives around the same Budget?

Any better Black Friday sales on the A7 than the $280 drop price?

it's a monitor styled bass. it does have sub bass, but will not be the shaking and rumbling type.
the speed of the attack is exceptional though, snappy like BAs, but still have a very short bloom that dynamic drivers have.

because of the really flat response with no sharp peaks/dips anywhere, we can listen to it at a higher level volume without getting fatigue. I'd say it has (maybe the most) even response from lowest to highest of frequencies.

How much does the MT100 go for these days as they have been around for a while?

i got mine last year on sale at $105 (and $97 after coupons).. but i don't know if it's going to come down to that price again.

the MT300 on the other hand, seems to take a deep dive in price to around $60-70.

Oh wow, I’d give it a try at $97. Guess I’ll have to wait a year for 11.11?

What's a good Chi-Fi mid-fi IEM that gets a good price to performance ratio?

I've just bought the ISN D02 and I'm loving it and wondering what's the next progression up to say a $200 - $300 IEM that performs well above its price range.

I was looking at the BGVP DM7 or is there better out there, also curious about the latest planar IEM's Tin Hi FI P1 etc.

I listen to classic rock, jazz, electronic and acoustic and appreciate a wide soundstage and clarity. Not a massive bass head.

LZ A7.

LZ A7.

Yeah I keep seeing it mentioned all over the forum, looks like that will be my next purchase then.

Can get them on Penon Audio right now for $279, does anyone have a coupon code I could add to that?

I concur. I purchased the LZ A7 mostly out of curiosity and FOMO, and thought it would actually be a bit redundant with my other IEMs. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Not only does it have amazing technical chops, it is very versatile.

if there's no pressing urges, I'd suggest wait for sale. although to tell you the truth, after hearing it for myself, there's nothing similar to it in sound and quality even up in price that i've heard of, though some suggest that the LZ A7 is in similar SQ and can get similar tuning... can't confirm it myself yet as my A7 is still not arrived yet
