A wired IEM from 7HZ that the page lists with five 6mm dynamic drivers per side, from $126.65 with a 3.5mm plug or $128.27 with a 4.4mm plug. The page also shows $149 crossed out; the listing text gives no impedance or sensitivity.

Our verdict

For someone who wants a wired IEM built around five dynamic drivers per side, with a 3.5mm or 4.4mm plug, from $126.65. Look elsewhere if you need impedance, sensitivity or a frequency range, none of which the listing text gives. The main caveat is that the page's first-of-its-kind and sound statements are the maker's claims and carry no evidence in the listing text.

Best for
Someone who wants a wired IEM with five dynamic drivers per side and a choice of 3.5mm or 4.4mm plug.
Skip if
You want a frequency range or impedance on the page, since the listing text gives neither.

Five 6mm dynamic drivers per side are what the page lists for the 7HZ FIVE, each said to sit in its own acoustic chamber and to be joined by an electronic crossover circuit. The cable is described as silver-plated oxygen-free copper in a four-strand design with 49 wires per strand. Two plugs are orderable, 3.5mm at $126.65 and 4.4mm at $128.27, and the listing text gives no impedance, sensitivity or frequency range.

Options and pricing

The two orderable options differ by plug: 3.5mm costs $126.65 and 4.4mm costs $128.27, so the 4.4mm version costs more. The page shows $149 crossed out beside the price, which is the store's own comparison and not something we checked. Both options share one description, and the listing text does not name the cable connector.

How it compares

Priced from $126.65, the FIVE sits above the CCA Hydro at $124.99 and below the KZ AST from $128 and the Arpegear Hane at $129. None of those sibling entries carries a spec line, so only the FIVE's own figures are quoted here: five 6mm dynamic drivers per side and a cable of 196 wires, both per the page.

Shipping

  • Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
  • Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
  • Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
  • Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
  • Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
  • Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
  • Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
  • Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.

Before you buy

Worth noting

Questions before you buy

How many drivers does the 7HZ FIVE list?

Which plug should I choose?

The page offers 3.5mm at $126.65 and 4.4mm at $128.27. Choose the one your source uses; the listing text does not compare the two.

What is the cable made of?

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

Standard is free for most countries; Express costs 15-50 USD and is free over 270 USD (over $499.99 for large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs).

Does Linsoul ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?

The page says Linsoul can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to ask the team about Standard for your country. It names no restriction for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, but it does not list them either, and it can only use Express to Hawaii.

What warranty does it have?

The page gives a 1-year warranty on products from the purchase date for factory defects, not for human error, accidents or modification. Coverage is limited for items 40% or more off retail and for review units, and it does not apply to items bought from other sellers.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The page's sound statements and its claim of being the first with five dynamic drivers per side are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
  • No impedance, sensitivity, frequency range, cable length, weight or cable connector type appears in the listing text.
  • Per the page, the crossover is an electronic circuit with imported components; the listing text does not name the circuit or the parts.
  • We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
  • The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
