I do love bass too, but not boosted bass necessarily. I prefer midbass to be present as opposed to cut and subbass boosted. But mostly i prefer the dynamics and technicalities for bass more than a bass boosted for the sake of bass boostedness
Did you use the stock eartips, or did you try swapping them out? I experienced some harsh, piercing treble and was wondering if different eartips might help reduce that. Thanks!
Nice review. I'd love it if you can get your hands on a Sliivo SLT6. Not for buy confirmation but because I feel we share a lot of the same tastes and I'd love to see where you'd rank that and see what I else I could try!
@@Jaytiss Ha, I feel you man! Wish I could demo your stuff too ;) I'd send you my model by I'm over the Atlantic from you so this would cost us an arm. Thanks for all the hard work!
Hi jay ! :) Greetings from Hungary ! :) I would ask Have u ever tried Fiio Fa19 ? Is this Aful 7 even better?My propblem is only with Fiio that low mid-and mids are too Emphasized. Can you confirm that the Aful 7 is not that overemphasized mid Beast?
I just bought a pair after looking through your spreadsheet. It seems like you are not going to rank the Anvil as highly, even though the BCD could be more fun. The Moondrop Concerto early score look awesome though. All these new driver types... Chifi is moving on to a new age.
Everything is early at the bottom. Hard to say need to test more. But right now I’m struggling with Anvil a bit. Might hold off on the review for a little bit.
Hi I’m new to IEM I bought the S12 Pro and was thinking about upgrading to this. How much better is this than the S12 pro? Specifically in technical and bass quality. Thank you!
This graphs similarly to the Oracle mk3. The 5+2 ranks a bit higher for you. I know graphs don’t tell the whole story. Have yet to grab an Aful set. Thinking of picking up this and the Explorer for 11/11. This or the Punch, but I’ve got and love the Origin already. I’ve Held off buying any sets for most of the year, but making up for it in the last couple months 😂
They are all amazing, well worth for the price , only stock cable is trash , it totally ruins the P7 potential.Good tips are required too.get the NICEHCK HICOTTON OR GRKING FLAGSHIP Cables , they definitely deserve a good higher quality cable.
I dont get why the Dynaquatro has less Air. I always thought that if you didnt roll off at 15k ish you habe air extension. And the Quatros dont roll off they spike in that region. Can you explain?
Honestly: as much as the P5 was awesome when it came out, it is definitelly surpassed already by cheaper iems now. Then end of 2023 and this year has been very veeery different for iems and we got so much push from the cheaper ones to compete, us the customers won big time :D
@saideepyarlagadda P8 is much better and more realistic or natural, Subbass quality,Vocal texture and sparkly treble, the p8 wins, about the p7 , it's better in midbass, you'll feel bassier than p8, slightly bsss heavy, vocal have less texture less natural and slightly brighter and good imaging, overall, I still preferred P8 over P7, better quality across all frequency,. let see after burn in longer and change a better cable for any improvement, done 15 hours burned in so far, P8 still my number one favorite in superb natural Vocal, Subbass is like a high quality Home Subwoofer, the super tweeters are unbeatable, Crystal sparkly only wishing it more refine, but for this price, you can't ask for more Thank You. After 40 hours burn in and changed a better cable it sounds phenomenal, break in 40+ hours is required and a better cable changed everything,if P8 rated 10/10 the P7 going to be 9.5/10 super value. I don't mean it can outperform annihilator or $1k+ IEMs.only anything under or near $500 range.
@saideepyarlagadda 3.5 is no issue for most IEM you get more power from 4.4 , it just depends on your DAC AMP requirements, be aware of playing too loud will damage your hearing, I have tinnitus now from super loud music, my amp deliver 2 watts of power this can blow up my ear drums .Have fun Cheers mate.
What would you say would be a better upgrade from the Aful Magicone, the P5+2 or the Xenns Tea Pro? Is the Tea Pro worth the extra cash? From my understanding, the Magicone is considered a warmer vocal specialist set? So being that I enjoyed that very much, but just wish it had a little more bass, what would make more sense? I also really like bass guitar and cymbals, for example my favorite tracks have been from a band called Pump Action. Their song Blood Thinner would be a good example. Thank you for any advice!
@Icecold_Art that's two people recommending the Tea Pro over the P7 and one for the P7 over the Tea Pro now 😂! Are you saying you haven't compared them personally or that it would be a hard choice for me to make without comparing them myself?
@@Quo_Audito I’d say Both. Look, there are 11.11 sales just around the corner. And ther Performer 7 is already 120 usd cheaper than the Tea Pro at Retail price.

So good.
Lets goo ive been waiting for this one
This is awesome. I am excited for this set! AFUL has great tuners.
I totally watched this video on 11/11.
😆
All hail the most awaited review!
Thank you.
Ha, thank you so much.
Excellent review. Thanks for the comparisons, gives a much better idea.
Thanks for the support. ❤️
The Review of the year has ARRIVED!!!
Thank you Jay! ❤
Gonna order one when i get my bonus in December 😮
By the way just sold my simgot Supermix 4 😊
I love this set. My work set comes I. Tomorrow. :)
@Jaytiss wow! I feel I will love it too ! Thanks again 😊
This is a special review. Haven’t heard this iem. Thanks for sharing with us all the reasons why the “P7” is kind of a mic drop type of set.
Ohh thanks!
glad to finally see it!
Got one of these and a tea pro coming! w00t!
Ohh good I hope that you like them.
I do love bass too, but not boosted bass necessarily. I prefer midbass to be present as opposed to cut and subbass boosted. But mostly i prefer the dynamics and technicalities for bass more than a bass boosted for the sake of bass boostedness
I can see that, this has solid moderate bass. Its nice.
Cave eats yummmm!
😂
Did you use the stock eartips, or did you try swapping them out? I experienced some harsh, piercing treble and was wondering if different eartips might help reduce that. Thanks!
I used narrow bore tips and it helped. This iem is a bit odd with wide bore tips.

Greetings! I have not. I have not heard great things about it but you might like it. I really like p7.
Thanks for comparing to the Cantor. They graph similarly so I was wondering about that. Other reviews I’ve watched don’t have both.
Glad it was helpful! Both good but so different.
Cantor being all ba makes the bass not as dynamic, so that’s a big difference right there. Also the fit of cantor is deeper to smooth out the treble.

how does this sound compare to supermix 4?
I like it more.
Nice review but vs Arcadia Odyssey and Punch ?
I haven’t heard either. I can compare when they come in.
@Jaytiss they are all meta-ish with not too much ear gain like aful
Hi I’m new to IEM I bought the S12 Pro and was thinking about upgrading to this. How much better is this than the S12 pro? Specifically in technical and bass quality. Thank you!
I think much better.
I have both, weirdly enough I prefer the bass on the s12 pro, it feels much tighter to me. For everything else, the p7 wipes the floor.
13:25 “I ended up selling my crimson pretty quickly, I just didn’t like it”
Next sentence
“Um, I did rank it. I do like it”
Which is it!?!?
lol 😂
Not worth the cash. Unexceptional.
hi,I wonder how the 3.5 and 4.4 versions of this headset will differ in all aspects
Just a cable, that's it.
This or dusk dsp-default? (kpop/jpop female vocals).
I kinda like the balance of this. Dusk dsp felt like it was dread the the treble.
This graphs similarly to the Oracle mk3. The 5+2 ranks a bit higher for you. I know graphs don’t tell the whole story. Have yet to grab an Aful set.

I’ve Held off buying any sets for most of the year, but making up for it in the last couple months 😂
I’d start with Explorer. Half the price and a nice sound.
They are all amazing, well worth for the price , only stock cable is trash , it totally ruins the P7 potential.Good tips are required too.get the NICEHCK HICOTTON OR GRKING FLAGSHIP Cables , they definitely deserve a good higher quality cable.
I dont get why the Dynaquatro has less Air. I always thought that if you didnt roll off at 15k ish you habe air extension. And the Quatros dont roll off they spike in that region. Can you explain?
The previous 711 standard doesn't accurately measure high treble and air region. Generally people say you disregard the graph anything above 10kHz
It's more about how it sounds. Not super airy or detailed. Dynaquatro is a nice set, and one of my favorite to listen to.
They should drop the price of the P5 to $120-$150. I'm sure it'll sell like cakes now.
Well yeah…. 😂

How does it compare with p8 ??.
l bought both of them,❤❤ $239usd it's a steal., i also owned the Explorer, all of AFUL IEMs are fantastic tuned.
More bass, different approach to treble. You might like p8 more, but P7 for me is great and the upgrade.
