Audio Amigo 7 * score rescaled + normalized
Essentially a slightly upgraded 7Hz Zero. Slightly better driver, more comforable shells, better cable, comes with a carry pouch. Good Value

Shouty, but not treble focused. Bassy but not sub-bass focused. 2nd driver doesn't fire into the nozzle, but into a hole, and into your outer ear. Makes for a "Taller" soundstage rather than a "wide" one. SUPER interesting sound on this. Great carry case too.

Literally OG 7hz Zero with a better driver, better clarity and resolution. Clean balanced sound. Vocal/mid focused. Treble can get peaky at times. Overall solid value.
