Hi guys, this is my first impression on my first high end IEM I've ever had Senn IE7, the last phone I came from is SOny ex-90 modded. I had IE7 for more than 2 months now, properly 300 hours+ burned in time, I think this is a proper time for me to have my impression.
Build quality: I am very happy about the build quality, the phone is light and extreme comfortable to wear, the cable is superb, no microphonic, and non-tangible. I'm using the sony ex700 eartips, which give me the feeling that the phone isnt there. The stock tips are fine, but i like ex700 tips better.
Sound quality: I dont know about if the ex90 has bloated bass but for for me, it isnt bloated at all but rather bright, with the filter removal mod, the bass is strong and tight, with a bright treble which I found that it is abit too much for me. when I come across the Senn IE7, I know it is a IEM for me, just right amount of bass and a sweet mid. I can say it is neutral to me, might be abit on the bass side but, overall, nothing is too much. The initial thought when I put the phone on is "wow, how can it is so smooth", the bass and mid are mixing so smooth good together. As for the treble, at first it is abit lacking somewhere, since ex90 was very bright too me but I know this little can need time to acchieve full potential. And seriously, it have not let me down for one bit. As the burn in went on, the bass is getting tighter, mixing even better with the mid; treble became more and more reveal, until now, it is just right for me, I mean the treble is just right for me, "live like" treble which I found that I I dont want any extra.
Everyone must have heard about IE8 wonderful soundstage. Even though I missed a chance to experience that soundstage and imaging but , I think IE7's soundstage is wonderful as well. When I am using the sony90's even though i was good but I never had the feeling that i am in the concert but with IE7, the feeling that i am there, wherever the concert was with the crowd cheering for the band, it is wonderful.
To sumary: IE8 was a bass monster, (from the impression i read), IE7 is a sweet chocolate where every aspect is just right and neutral
