13:58Sony IER-M7 Review - Quad BA In Ear Monitor
The reviewer finds the Sony IER-M7 to be a well-built, warm-sounding in-ear monitor with good isolation and imaging, but notes that its conservative tuning, fit issues, and high price in 2022 make it hard to recommend over newer competitors. They suggest it's worth buying only if found at a significantly lower price.

12:32Sony IER-M7 IEM REVIEW
The reviewer finds the Sony IER-M7 to be a highly balanced and coherent IEM with exceptional imaging and a wide soundstage, making it a strong competitor in its price range. However, the bass is not particularly impactful, and there is slight bass bleed into the mids, which can cause a bit of boxiness. The reviewer recommends it for those who prefer a neutral, audiophile-style sound, especially if found around $350-400.
