+1 I agree that the A7 is a top tier IEM and deserves a top spot on that list, too!
But, then again, I can't help but realize that I don't agree with half of what's on that list with its ranking and sound signatures. That just shows that one is better off getting many reviews from a group of reviewers. For example, through head-fi.org, it is safe to say that on one earphone I can get a lot more information then letting one person from another website tell you that it is worth the money, sound, or what not by his personal thoughts and ratings. I am a US citizen working and living in China for many years and I've tried more than half of those earphones from that website. There are many headphone shops here where I can easily try them. That's why I don't just rely on one persons review, but many to make my own decision to purchase an IEM, whether it's branded or DIY. Now, whether I can afford them, or not? That depends on how much am I willing to spend.
So, if I may speak freely, I believe in more honest reviews coming from a group of reviewers like "you guys" then to rely on just one person from another website. Then, I can make a proper decision if that IEM is right for me, or not.
...and I agree with most reviews here that the LZ A7 is a top tier IEM. They are clearly that good for the price when compared to other reputably branded and highly praised DIY earphones.In
