Product Description

The BGVP DM7 builds on the success of the DMG and DM6 models with refinements to the materials and sound quality. To make these improvements possible, the company put a lot of work into the driver configuration, opting for six balanced armatures (made by Knowles and Sonion) linked in a four-way passive crossover Read More

Great IEMs

These punch way above their price in sound signature and weight. Heavily Recommended.

Smooth, warm sound, balanced bass, mids, and treble. I believe most listeners will be very satisfied. There are plenty of decent tips and a very nice stock cable. I find the fit to be a bit tricky and the right cable connection has inadvertently pulled out a few times, making me overly careful when I use them. There is no satisfying click when you make the connections with the cable so you do wonder how long the connections will last. When I evaluate iems at this price level, I expect great sound and build, but I always ask myself, are they that much better than good but much less expensive iems? Update: Left side connection also failing. At this point of frustration, I cannot recommend. It's a shame to produce a good-sounding iem and fail at the most basic build level but there it is. DO NOT BUY!!!!

The feature is that there is no feature.

This earphone has 8BA, but it has not detail, clear and nornal sound range. I didn't feel the fun of multiple BA earphone, in other words, this earphone has no features. The sound is boring, but the appearance is very nice, and the wearing feeling is good.

Would have been daily driver material

I would have rated this 4-5 stars. The cable is great, perfect isolation for a daily subway user like me, extremely comfortable, and the sound is perfectly suited to me (this is not for bassheads, if you're into that). HOWEVER, I am one of those plagued by the loose left MMCX connector issue. I find it not too much of a practical issue, as it the left side usually only disconnects if I'm laying in bed on my left side, which is a huge shame since it's comfortable to wear lying down, unlike other iem's/headphones I own. What I'm afraid of is the long term durability due to that connector issue, since Wikipedia says MMCX connectors have a lifetime in the hundreds of connection-disconnection cycles. I feel like I've bought disposable Bluetooth headphones with limited charge cycle li-ion batteries, when these could have been my new daily driver.

mlaygoI have the same issue. My left mmcx connector became loose and the cable would pop off every single time I used them. This started happening about 2 weeks after I bought them. I hadn't swapped cables or anything like that at all, the original cable just kept popping out on its own. Now I have audio coming in and out on that side. Bgvp declined to help after numerous emails and Instagram messages. Not recommended at all for apparent poor quality materials and or QC issues. Beware!

MarkSubsonikUpdate: due to the looseness of the left MMCX connector, it ended up detaching unceremoniously and the left IEM got lost entirely. This loss wouldn't have happened if the left IEM was secure to begin with like the right IEM is, since I still have that. Now, it's obviously useless with just the right IEM, so I'm out $200+ or whatever. I wish I could just buy one side IEM like you can do Airpods but yeah, DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND even though the IEMs themselves were great.

A step up from the DM6

Quick impression of the DM7 Slightly less quantity on bass and trimmed down the treble a little bit. Huge improvement on the mids and overall even more balanced and fuller sound. In my honest opinion it is much better than the DM6 and worth the extra cost.

Better than BGVP DM6, and maybe the best IEMs I have!

I have a lot of IEM-style headphones. I ordered these DM7's back in June, and then promptly gave them away as a birthday gift to my BiL. He was, and still is, thrilled. So now that I've gotten them for myself, I'm amazed at the detail these things offer. And wow are they efficient with my Pixel 2 XL-- I hardly ever go over 50% volume. Bass is full, yet tight. Highs are very detailed for cymbals and horns, and just bright enough. Soundstage is great. It has depth, like hearing the arena echo in live recordings, or being able to place where the instrument or singer is in the recording studio. I love these things. I've raved about the Nuforce HEM 8's, and... I'm sorry to say that they are hanging on my headphone trophy rack alongside other runners up...Shure 535's, UE 900's, other massdrops...etc. I also have the DM6's which are now my second choice. One of the things the DM7's gets right is the number and style of all the eartips. The DM6's didn't have any that were big enough to seal in my ears and I was ordering Comply tips to fix that... Now I use one of the spare sets from the DM7's... I'm a little worried about the failure issue mentioned in other reviews, but so far so good.

Mixed feelings

A very detailed sound, extremely musical, tonally balanced, a surprising large and precise soundstage, what else to add? like money, a very good deal ... until the right ear has failed. I accepted a partial compensation ($ 20 !!!) - because, being in Europe, the steps towards a complete refund were complicated and expensive. Now I was left with a loss of $ 260, with some bitter-sweet feelings ... and with a generous set of eartips. In conclusion: Americans, dare you! The others, if you feel able, risk yourself! (I think that the problem is actually the offer and the overall system of the Massdrop - finally, the Drop - which in this seemingly attractive concept manages to transfer the loss entirely to customers. It's not fair. Otherwise, after withholding the payment money over the months, yes, it also gives us a very thin discount. It's shameful!)

aramkThey offered me two options: full or partial compensation. I apologize but I do not understand in this case whether or not it is a guarantee in its true sense. Without sarcasm or irony, I am simply ignorant.

It's fine but a bit disappointed

DM7 with the foam ear-tips (note: I did not play around with the ear-tips much; it was a pain in the ass to get the foam ones on, and I didn't want to remove it) - default cable single ended Main comparison against Massdrop Plus (MD+) with double flange ear-tips - MD balanced 2 pin cable Used with the Pioneer XDP-30r DAP Mostly listened to rock, metal, and video game OSTs to compare. DM7 seems to have as much bass as the MD+ albeit a bit less accurate. MD+ I can hear every note from a bass guitar, but the DM7 sometimes sounds a bit muddled. Still the bass overall is very nice. Good thumps, good rumble, especially when it comes to the bass drums. The vocals seem to be a bit recessed when comparing to the MD+, but it's not bad. At first when I switched over I noticed it, but after a few minutes of listening it didn't bug me anymore. This might be due to how the sound of the drums seem to be weirdly emphasized with the DM7s which is very different from the MD+. Combining this with a lack of sound stage (kind of sounds like the band is right in front of your face) may have cause the feeling that the vocals are recessed compared to the MD+. The treble and female vocals seem.... congested? It's like the singer has a minor cold and she could probably use a Kleenex. Thanks to this, even though the treble nears the point of being sibilant (for me at least) sometimes, I don't feel any of the sparkle I would get from, for example, Beyer headphones or the Ether CX. Overall, if I didn't own the MD+ and if this was my first foray into audio gear, I feel like I would have been ok with the DM7s. The bass is pretty good, the emphasis on the drums helps keep the songs exciting, and the clarity and separation of instruments still sound fine. Additionally, it's really not hard to drive. The reason I'm a bit disappointed is because I've read comments online on how the MD+ isn't of much value anymore in the $300 range due to all the great chi-fi iems that's been coming out, so I was really hoping that the DM7 might be a big upgrade. However, I think I would consider this a side-grade at best. P.S. Someone commented in the discussions that in their view the stock cable is holding back the DM7s; upgrading to a balanced cable supposedly help bring back the clarity and sparkle. Maybe i'll invest in another cable later on but not on my priority list right now. P.P.S. There is a mmcx connector defect issue in the first batch of the DM7s. I've read somewhere (I think their discord?) this has been addressed, but just keep that in mind. I would still recommend this to a friend if he happened to have a budget of $300 and did not possess any other iems in that price range. To those who would say just recommend the friend get the Kanas Pros, I haven't tried them so I can't personally recommend that.

jkhmonkeyI had a set of DM6 earphones that I purchased from a dealer on AliExpress that were defective. the dealer worked with me to return them for repair or replacement at my expense. It cost me about $25 in postage to ship back to the dealer with no tracking options. Boy was I nervous. They forwarded the item to BGVP for repair. Well after almost 2 months and numerous inquiries with the dealer and BGVP directly, I got the originals back in satisfactory and working order. I say they were the originals only because it was definitely my original box. I would hope that Drop offers a similar intermediary role but maybe not. BGVP certainly seems open to working with the consumer if necessary.

jkhmonkeyI bought a pair of the Toneking T88ks after using the MD+ and I would say it is most the opposite of what you describe the DM7's to be. The only crime the T88k commits is the bass is quite neutral, but it's not obnoxious like the MD+. Upper mids on the T88k are quite in your face a little too much for my taste, a copper cable may remedy that. They are never sibilant no matter how loud they are pushed. The mids aren't as forward as the MD+ but the Soundstage seems like an entire price bracket better than it's worth. I would encourage you to look out for those if you can stand neutral bass. Extremely natural sound, if they weren't so big I could forget I was wearing them for more than a few minutes
