I’ve been searching for a set of IEMs that doesn’t just play music, but actually communicates the emotion behind it. The 7th Acoustics Supernova is that set.

The "separation" here is world-class. I’ve been listening to complex tracks like VNV Nation’s "Nova" (the orchestral version) and Sigur Rós, and the way the Supernova layers Jónsi’s falsetto above a massive, swelling orchestra is breathtaking. It never sounds congested or "shouty." It has an organic, natural timbre that makes instruments sound like they are in the room with you, it’s a "soulful" sound that, to this point, I’ve not been able to replicate.

A huge thank you to Matthew for the recommendation and the incredible service, you steered me exactly where I needed to be. Also, a special shoutout to “Code” for the personal note and the Kit-Kat! Bloom Audio is easily the best in the business because of these personal touches.

Bought these because I heard they had an amazing neutral sound and were comfortable to wear for long periods, and those are true. They're light for their size and the sound is beautiful. I just personally suffered hissing ambient noise plugging mine into my Rodecaster Pro 2 and as a noob I cba going through the effort trying to diagnose it. I also wish the cable, as awesome as it is, was like a ft or 2 longer so I could thread it under my desk and keep it out of the way.
I'm also starting to believe I have a really small ear canal because even the smallest tips were too big for me.

TL/DR: My only IEM for the following genres in order of most listened to to least= 80s-2010s Metal, 90s Rock, Classic Rock, 70s-Current Pop, 80s-Current Latin, 60s-90s R&B, 70s-current Country, Classical, Jazz, Opera

This hits all of the above with a bullet, smooth set, does not give me any treble fatigue when using on a clinical topping set up or my Mytek Liberty 2 and definitely not the Fiio K13 r2r.

Mids are very clean, musical, and revealing in a good way without being shouty to my ears.

Bass is tight and excellent but definitely not going to magically be dynamic driver or planar bass. This can be the most divisive aspect to the set, but as a metalhead, I love the fast and clean attack with the following bands: Megadeth, Sepultura, Metallica, Mastadon, Tool, Dream Theater, Death, Etc.

This was also a very comfortable set and my ears can be picky with chunky sets, think the truther nozzle, older moon drop sets, etc. This is larger and I wish felt more premium but is beautiful and the cable is also lovely no need to upgrade but please note it is 4.4mm only.

Last thing: these do scale with gear but my Ibassso DX170 does sound just fine for travel, even the Fiio K13 was amazing, but even with a noise floor on the Mytek Liberty 2 that is where they sound best but its not night and day by any means. A decent dongle would be fine until you decide you want to upgrade if needed and if not you can be all in under 1k and be a happy camper!

After many conversations with Matt, I pulled the trigger on the Supernova iem. Excellent sub base. The clarity of the music is outstanding. They are comfortable too. Overall, an excellent pair of iems and well worth the price.

I don't listen to much rock or hip hop so note that I am no bass head. For me listening to a combo of jazz, folk/folk rock, and classical, the Supernova is a perfect match. The midrange is perfect to my ears. There is less top end sparkle and bass slam than a V shaped curve IEM of course but these are right up my alley and very comfortable with solid isolation. I would definitely swap out a wide bore tip though - makes a big difference to overall performance, I think. The stock cable is a very high quality Verus cable but I swapped to a more flexible, aftermarket cable (Effect Cadmus) which also helped (maybe?) add a little more sparkle on top. Highly recommended across the board
