r/CODWarzone7Hz G1 - The Ultimate Budget Gaming IEM? (Review)
12 months ago

Agree with you on this part. It nails the gaming aspect perfectly. I was worried if the gunshots were going to be too loud but not at all. The soundstage is very wide and separation is excellent. I did have one issue though. There is this weird hissing sound I am hearing in the G1 whenever I plug them into my audiocular D07 dongle and smartphone. I don't know why but It is there. And whenever there is any music playing through the iem it will sound like as if it is hissing. Same for games. Any slight wind noise and the hissing takes over. The people here over reddit say it is an impedance mismatch and that is the reason why I am having this issue and the impedance mismatch cannot be resolved without altering the sound tuning of the item( i.e.using an impedance adaptor)

Have you had any such hissing or static sound in the 7hz G1?

Eqs are a different thing compared to technicalities. Eqs will only affect how the iem sounds. They don't improve stereo or spatial audio or even the seperation of sounds. These elements depend on how the drivers are designed and tuned from base. You cannot change or upgrade technicalities using any means. These are what makes gaming IEMs different from regular IEMs. I currently have the 7hz G1 and I can actually tell how good the 3d audio is perceived in these. You can pinpoint the footsteps location and easily tell if it is vertical depth of width.

Currently using the 7Hz G1 with the Audiocular D07 DAC and it's really good. Price is slightly higher than 3K, IEM was ₹3,200 and DAC was ₹800. Purchased from The Audio Store and had zero issues. I'm not an audiophile and this is my first IEM, but I'm very happy with it and it sounds great. I mostly listen to Pop, EDM and songs with female vocals. Everything I've listened to has been really good and everyone (casual folks) I've shown it too have really liked it.

r/iemsBest iem for electronic music / techno under 30€?
12 months ago

KZ Saga Balanced are one of the best musical IEM's with solid bass performance in the price range. The BL-03 II is very similar to the BL-03, its a little crisper, and more detailed than the OG. But its OK to sacrifice some of the OG's note weight for more detail and texture. I also think the new BL-03 II is built a little better, has a nice cable, and fits better in the ear. I would suggest Spinfit Omni's or Dunu Candy tips for it though. The stock tips are...meh. Though it is a more gaming oriented IEM, the 7Hrz G1 is also very nice and V shaped in its tuning.

r/iems7hz G1 or 7hz elua ultra?
5 months ago

The G1 is better than the 7Hz Zeros. But the Elua Ultra is better than the G1. Bass has more texture, vocals are cleaner, and treble extension has better timbre then the G1 which can sound a little metallic at times. The design of the G1 is, IMHO, more robust and clean with its metal shell, and the style of the Elua Ultra is subjective, but the plastic shell has held up ok thus far, even on my much naligned OG Eluas. The Elua Ultra cable is pretty bad, but it's serviceable, whre the G1s is actually nice. The G1 also comes with a nicer selection of 07 style tips, where the Elua Ultra comes with the same set of Medium and large tips in three different shapes. But the "best" ones, the red conical tips, are now in Black. I dont think you can go wrong either way. I think the Elua sounds better, but the G1 is the better accessorized and built set. Take your pick.

r/iemsWhat are the best looking/coolest IEM's
about 1 month ago

**Pretty but sound is decent** under $110 ======================================= Fosi Audio IM4. Black. I think silver looks good too but can't confirm; I have the black one. I was actually pretty surprised by the sound. Pretty good. Very pretty and elegant shell. Nicely designed. Sound is actually purty good. Defiant. In emerald green. Gorgeous shell!!!!! Solid iem. But note it does have Quality control issues. Dunu Kima 2. Get the Raven version for better artwork. Looks nice! One of the best iems at the $100 pricepoint. Celest Wyvern Abyss original. Not remaster. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous shells! More of a vocal set. Has no technicals, ie no soundstage or imaging. But great for vocals. I got it for 9 bucks. Celest Pandamon 2.0. Purty shells. Beautiful shells. Chill sound. Pair it with Kiwi Ears flex eartips. I love the way it sounds. Very comfortable. Xuan NV. Not gorgeous per se. But the box art is stunning. But the iems aren't ugly by any means. Great sound. Great vocals. Great bass. I dig it. Also comes with Tang Sancai eartips. Save those for another iem in the future. Those eartips brighten stuffy iems. **Pretty shells but I'm not sure** under $110 =================== Letshouer S08. GORGEOUS shell. I can't find myself to enjoy it. It's a weird sound. I think Artii T10 (WAY WAY uglier) sounds better. **Pretty shells but sound is eh** under $110 ========= Zero Blue 2 and Zero Blue 1. Very pretty shells. Don't recommend for sound. Gets very harsh and sibilant. Cadenza v1. In purple. I bought it. Pretty. The sound is eh though. It's thin with male vocals. Pretty though. That purple color is gorgeous. Chu 2. It's a pretty shell. Sound is eh. Thin-ish with vocals. Not full. Cadenza v2 in Blue. Pretty shell. Recently checked it out. Still have it. Has a typical sound. 7hz G1. Pretty shell. I think it looks sick in white. Bought it. Too bright. Simgot EW300. Shells look nice. I didn't care for the sound. Celest Phoenix Call. Currently $69. Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! But the sound is oh, so close but not there. :S I still kept it because I love its design. I like the clear one! https://preview.redd.it/lnubp4i6qkkg1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=007704c2d634b3df2c5c4b51b196efc50aa20cfa

Glad you like them. I got them along side the Vivace and thought the Vivace were better so returned the G1. Mostly due to treble and separation. However this was just in comparison to the Vivace. They're still really good.

Check Twistura D-Minor and Tiandearnhe TD19 7Hz x Crincale Zero 2 is great for start. They are bassy and overall kinda natural. 7Hz G1 is almost like Zero 2 but with more bass and treble and better build quality.

r/iemsHow do we feel about the Linsoul 7HZ G1?

Got mine for 17$ I like it less than Zero 2 because of sound (too much treble for me and they tend to distort because i listen at pretty high volume) But also like it more than Zero 2 because of build quality, shape, ergonomic and cable.

r/iemsBest overall IEM in budget category

I would replace Chu II or Zero 2 to 7Hz G1. Build quality, materials, stock cable and case are much better.  Also i would recommend Tiandirenhe TD19 as hidden gem. Warmish sound, great soundstage, comfortable for long listening, but requires an EQ because its too flat.
