Yeah...the LZ A7 are not aesthetically pleasing....at all (to me). All the writing on the face plate doesn't help either. YMMV. The sound ( and build quality!!) matters most for sure, it goes without saying. I just tend to like the pretty things too, hahahaha.
I'm not trashing it. I could generally care less about the looks, but even the accessories are sort of a hodge podge, there definitely isn't a design theme besides customization. Looks to me like they went balls to the wall customizable, almost to the point of overdoing it (some of you will say there is no such thing, I know).
Definitely should be called the A7 Frankenstein....
i'm really interested in Beans if it's competitive and a fun CNT. speaking of CNT drivers, i fixed my NX7 original, and damn it's synergizes so nicely with my Sony, that while i play them in combo, it's not making me miss the Hiby R5 + Trio combo.
Others will have to answer for TOTL (and I'm sure they will) as I've only got a couple IEM's in the $500+ price class and although they're both still great they're also both quite old (ASG-1plus and Big Dipper). I've put more serious money towards full size headphones and find it difficult to compare that to IEM's.
Fwiw before the A7 my all time favorite IEM's were (with quite some margin) the A6 and even the prototype A7 are at least as good as they are when it comes to sound (I'd expect even more with the new filters on the retail version) and without the moisture issue and a lot better ergonomics.
Edit: DS will be getting a pair as well so I'm sure he'll be able to answer how they hold up against his impressive collection of more expensive offerings when he's got some time with the A7.
Nice looking set. I bought a HiBy R5 a couple months or so ago not ever knowing much about the brand, but they seem to make some interesting items. The R5 performs way beyond my early expectation.
Hiby has good after sales support? I think that's the first time I've heard anyone accuse them of that in a long time. Maybe they're changing for the better.
Joe bloggs was great when he was there but the rest of Hiby leaves a lot to be desired on the customer service side of things.
In general, I would not buy hiby products based on their customer service reputation, only based on their value, feature set and performance....
