Bloom's Take

For quite some time, Supernova has been the hobby’s best kept secret. Until now, folks who recognized the attention Supernova was getting across different forums and some more public reviews had to jump through a few hoops to acquire this IEM made from 7th Acoustics, a micro brand from Indonesia. Now, entering the western market through Bloom Audio, we are absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to present this IEM to the rest of the industry.

While Supernova has come from humble beginnings, one listen to its sound signature, and you will soon understand the massive hype circulating around this IEM. To get a better idea of Supernova and the core motivation behind it, we were able to sit down at CanJam Singapore with Stephen Synanta, founder of 7th Acoustics and lead engineer of Supernova.

Supernova looks to deliver an incredibly balanced and extended sonic profile that's backed by balanced armature drivers from none other than Knowles and Sonion, a world class manufacturer in their respective field. In using these drivers, Supernova is both equally resolving as it is fun, and keeps tonality at the forefront of its sound signature.

Although 7th Acoustics and Supernova have flown under the radar for quite some time, the cat is out of the bag, and Supernova is ready to deliver its incredibly lush and smooth sonic profile to every listener ready to give them a go.

Really nice

A bit less emotional or dreamy vocals than the Thieaudio oracle I was using for a few years. Better in other fronts, more coherent and more clarity, while keeping vocals sounding still great. I have some mild hearing loss of -4 dbs below 1k so it ends up being slightly lacking in body. That's just me, so no issues

Incredible

I usually take a couple of days to a week to warm up to a new IEM (and I have 12 in my normal rotation) - I was captivated immediately upon plugging the Supernova in.
They are gorgeous, well-built, and come with enough accessories to give a premium feel. But more than that, the tonality is other-worldly in its accuracy.
I love IEMs like the U12t and Andromeda (2020) for their unique and detailed presentations. I love "meta" tunings like the Dusk, Hype 4, and Mega5EST as daily-drivers.
The Supernova is something else - it just sounds correct on every level while still being engaging. It is detailed enough to pick out individual instruments while staying away from sibilance or becoming a hi-hat machine. The bass won't blow you away, but it feels accurate, textured, and appropriately mixed with the rest of the music.
In the short time I've had it, I've put it through its paces in every genre I have in my music library and every song has sucked me in.
For the average person, will this be worth $850? Hard to say when the $300-$400 price range has gotten so competitive.
However, for audiophiles chasing an endgame set and used to paying kilobuck+ prices, I could not recommend the Supernova highly enough.

PS: I loved the personal touch @BloomAudio - they sent a Kit Kat and a little bio for Steven, the employee who packed my set. I met the Bloom Audio crew at CanJam SoCal 2 years ago - great people who really took the time to talk my friend and I through what to listen for with certain IEMs when I was still finding my feet in the hobby. Cheers!

Superb

The 7th Acoustics Supernova have considerable competition at their price point, many of which are equally good. That sad I am extremely happy with the sound quality, from clarity, soundstage, and the efficiency required to drive them.

About the only nitpicks I could say are ones aimed at 7th Acoustics' target audience rather than me-- the case is massive, heavy, substantial metal, and the cable is a beautiful piece of braided copper with a 1/4" connector at the end and lacks a microphone; I prefer a smaller, more lightweight case as well as a cable with a microphone that I can use with my phone. But those are all minor details given this quality of sound...

Sound is fun and relaxing all at the same time! I like these just as much as my Odin’s!

Super clean mid range, and the bass was surprisingly pleasant despite flat frequency response

Highly recommended to people who want more relaxed listening experience without losing tons of details like westone
