So I reviewed the KZ ASF right before the 11.11 sales begin to tell everyone why they should, under no circumstance, buy this dumpster fire. It's been a while since I've been so offended by an IEM, and the atrocious price tag makes it even harder a pill to swallow.

Don't just ignore it, run away from it. If you've put it even by mistake in your cart: you know what to do.

I remember a time when talking smack about KZ would get you banned, but it's ok, i avoid KZ anyways, so no chance of me buying that or any KZ. I stick with CCA, who even though the sister company, are more adept at tuning things properly.

Thank you for giving us further impressions. What according to you is a popular iem under $300 which is only available on Taobao?

1DD+6BA in your price range. Graph, if real, looks good, seems like you get to pick between v-shaped and balanced. A tea competitor perhaps?

Edit: Asked the store owner, the only difference with the pro version is that they're using Knowles instead of Bellsing

If I could only describe the Rosefinch IEM after listening to them for several hours last night, it would be extremely low rumbling sub-bass with incredibly crispy clean highs! With the extended lows and highs, it's hard to comprehend how does the midrange manage to stay focused and transparent. Also, want to mention that the soundstage was huge as well and comfort was at a high for me. No complaints there! To my ears they sound, not just good, but great for their price!

Having tested many IEMs this year, all I can say is I am extremely impressed by the iBasso IT07 straight out of the box. Phenomenal sound. This is just wow. Will provide more impressions soon. :)

Okay guys. I have to admit that you've convinced me to buy LZ A7 very well. With the coupons etc I managed to get it down to 240 which is a really good deal I believe. It's on the way and I'm super excited about it.

i ended up getting the Shouer Tape Pro and the CCA woodie. I'm done for the forseeable future. I imagine it's gonna be awhile before they arrive, so i got two-three weeks to continue to enjoy the A7 before those two take up ear time. I also bought two upgrade cables for my TF10 including a balanced set.

LZ A7 is a no brainer IEM that performs exceptionally well at its price point. Enjoy!

How did you apply the large Penon discount code?
When I try to type it into the "Promo Code" box during Check-out, it isn't accepted.
So, my price isn't dropping below $308.
