Sound quality:We found the HA-A7T2 delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks. With the sound mode set to "Normal" (as received state of the earphone) the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even but is a bit grainy, etched (a bit more sharply outlined then it should be) and congested (think sonic traffic jam). The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended but is somewhat prominent and a bit sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying). The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is somewhat open--sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears and does a decent job of recovering room ambience. Mixed character - neutral with coolish treble. The overall sound can be summarized as a bit grainy and sizzly.
Comfort and Fit:We found that these earphones as typical of in-ear models produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening that might be uncomfortable for some.
Small
Users with small ear bowls might find that the earphone body feels bulky in their ear bowl and that they stick out too far and feel like they may lever out of place, but that they will stay in place during casual use and are stable during fairly vigorous head movement.
Medium/Large
Users with medium and large sized ear bowls will probably find that this model stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are stable during vigorous head movement.
Incidental contact with the touch controls can cause unintentional playing, pausing and digital assistant activation.
Some users might find pressing the various earphone controls drives the earphones farther into the ear canal and may cause ear discomfort.
Hitting the stem that hangs out of the ear can knock an earphone loose and cause it to fall out of the ear.
