Hi, I think I encountered a bug, HeadFi is acting crazy. I updated the rating to 4.5 stars and now figuring out why pictures are not showing up.

You're welcome! @cocolinho The same form factor as the P8, P5, and MagicOne, but slightly smaller and lighter. Very comfortable.

Thanks for the review! The Explorer is looking to be a great value like the other AFUL products. I'm going to be passing on this one though as the tuning doesn't look to be something I'd enjoy.

Headphoneus Supremus
For 7Hz Aurora in Universal Fit
Pros: Depending on the stage size of your source, the stage can go from decent like from a phone to otherworldly large, like the largest stage you or I have ever heard from an IEM.
Open-back IEM design due to three large vented ports per IEM
The top of the line for 7Hz
Every bit a flagship sound both in high treble details and bass authority
Ergonomic copper cable with modular 3.5mm/4.4mm quick-switch L-Shaped plug, I have never seen a cable like it ever
1X 12mm Composite Dynamic
2X custom created BA drivers for the midrange
1X 6mm micro Planar driver for highs
3 way crossover network
Smashing set of new 7Hz brand red-core ear-tips, 7 sets of ear-tips in all
Easy to drive from a regular cell phone generating exquisite bass and decent stage imaging
Expected 7Hz value, the very essence a Chinese TOTL IEM purchase
Clean well imaged signature, like an open-back headphone
Gorgeous white hard-shell carrying case

@claud W,
Hah, thank-you. It was a fun review to do, just trying to do this IEM justice. Yes, I already know what sound you like, and yes....this is it. I would not be surprised if this was your favorite of the year....and not by a little, by a lot!
Cheers!

Pros: ● Still retains the overall construction from its preceding model.
● Solid aluminium alloy on its chassis while maintaining a good weight and compactness.
● A tempered glass panel is quite appealing to some audio enthusiasts who are either technical or simply love its glass panel as it showcases some of the inner workings of its circuitry and components.
● Detachable type-C cable connector.
● Manual toggle switches
● Two audio interfaces, 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced.
● It has substantial software support and is compatible with all devices in either mobile or desktop.
● An improvement of audio support encoding on both PCM and DSD formats from its upgraded ESS DAC.
● A slight enhancement of power output delivery.
● Neutral sound and still has an impressive technical sounding.
● MQA unfolding capability (for MQA lovers although I noticed that its unfolding capability was greatly reduced).

The M15i does not decode MQA. You need to fix the review.
And I don't know why you list "no battery" as a con; nothing you compared it to has a battery.

I no longer have the Navigator with me, but I suspect that combo will sound awesome, too. Navigator is the best dongle DAC right now, period.
