Does anyone know what is a good discount price of the tz700 on Amazon? I see sometimes the price is around 1000$ and now it is back to 1100$again.

I have seen them as low as 900 USD on Amazon. 1k is reasonable to me and a good price for them and is what I paid for mine.

There have been several on the Head-Fi Classifieds for $600-700. Just need to keep an eye on listings or make periodic searches.

Good point, I have seen the same with lightly used units for a low price.

Thank you. By the way I noticed all of you changed to different cables. Are stock ones that bad? They have too much microphonics? If I get these all I'm interested is 3.5mm unbalanced. Amp/dacs I have Topping NX4, NX7 amp, hip dac, xduoo xd 05 plus and lately got a Chord mojo 2 which is exceptional.

I have tried two other cables, but have been since went back to using the stock cables (primarily the 2.5 balanced).

While I have also tried different cables as an experiment, the stock cable is as good as anything I have tried. Choosing the correct tips are of far more importance for both fit and optimum sound. Needless to say, fit directly affects the sound as does the choice of wide or narrow tip bore. Ultimately, the results come down to personal preferences!

Using mine with a PW 1960s straight cable. Excellent SQ, light and comfortable

The stock cable is good, don't need to replace, I'm using a satin because I like the aesthetic
I have a mojo 2 and is a great pair with these iems

One thing not mentioned yet is If these can be used in public places or not. Do they leak sound when listening loud using the proper size ear tips for a good seal on individual's ears? Since most people don't know their price, I wouldn't mind taking them with me while traveling Etymotic ER2XR I have are perfect in this regard. I can blast them and they leak nothing outside when using foam tips. They are tight sounding overall which I like and have a little forward high mids which don't like. Also, they lack bass impact for my taste, and the highs are not well extended. Foam tips have gotten very comfortable over time. They're pretty good for their price but I think I will upgrade to TZ700. Please, make a test. Listen the TZ700 somewhat loudly and record with your phone outside. That way you'll hear in the recording If they leak sound.

 

[HiFlight]

Mine do not leak sound.

 

[BooleanBones]

Mine do not leak sound.

Mine as well after I found the right tips for me. Took mine on a flight to Japan and they worked great while listening to music. I tend to use my more mobile products for this scenario, but was curious how they would perform on an airplane.

Bonjour,
How do you see the ( sound) contribution of the PWAudio August Fun cable compared with the stock cable?
Thank you .

It's not an August Fun it's a 1960s with custom color sleeving
Never tried stock cable, sorry. From what I heard it has lot of microphonics

After having the IE900 alongside the TZ700 for a week I've concluded that they are complementary. I find the IE900 to have superior resolution and imaging, while the Technics have a more natural timbre and a smoother tuning that works better across more genres and poorer recordings. The IE900 made me analyze music while the TZ700 made me dance. Both have impactful bass and are among the most comfortable iems I've worn. I'll take the Isabellae over both for vocal-centric music. I love that the technics can be used around the ear or straight down and have been easier to get a proper seal with all sorts of tips. currently settled on the divinus velvets. Now to fight the urge to buy the much-hyped Singularity.
