I'm really tempted to order a pair and send them to Amrim.

Well, I should have jumped on this initially. Something in my right earbud just died so I ordered these as replacements. Wound up paying 85$ including tax and prime shipping, but that's still far less than the FH5 these will be replacing.

So, the question is ‘when do we reach peak iem?’. I enjoy them as much as the next nerd but it’s getting rather silly imo. They look good though!

These should be better than Aria and Truthear Zero I think. Nothing wrong with the purchase.

I've had these for about a day now, and my initial impressions are overall very positive. The shape of these doesn't really fit me very well and the stock cable is kind of janky, but the cable is super light so it helps prevent the iems from falling out. Tonality and detail are superb.

Hi, looking to purchase this IEM. Do you have other IEMs to compare the JD7 with?

I also have a pair of Fiio's FH5. The FH5 has a better for my ears, but the JD7 has a substantially better tonality.

The Zeros' fit isn't ideal, but it's miles ahead of the JD7.
The JD7 look to have the same shape as the FD5- which is terrible to fit well. One of a few over ear IEM that i prefer to wear upside down (if you get a cable without ear hooks). Of course this pretty much rules out walking/ exercise in them. And by the time you have bought a $20 cable without hooks - makes these a poor value proposition.
