Synthesized from what Timeless owners say — not a spec sheet.
“My personal experience with the Timeless though, Im extremely impressed.”
“I also bought the 7Hz because of the Hype and I don't like it.”
“Timeless definitely has its issues, but on most of my songs (hip hop/r&b/soul), it sounds awesome.”
“these new timeless II are a much more narrower soundstage and way less detail.”
“I have not going back to the timeless once. I just enjoyed the Kato so much more. I think the timeless are fine themselves”
“for the $202 I paid yes, they are worth the hype. I’m pretty happy.”
“I really enjoy the 7hz Timeless.”
“I get practically no bass unless I turn up the volume fairly significantly compared to where I normally listen”
“I bought into the hype, and so far I don’t love them.”
“for $200, this is a no-brainer for my collection.”
“I too wasn't suitably impressed but then switched the cable to a Tripowin Altea 4.4mm & it made a world of difference!”
“I auditioned these at CanJam HK last month but I disliked them, especially at high volume listening.”
“the sound is too metallic/unatural compared to DD+BA hybrids under its price range.”
“The 7hz timeless is clinical in comparison, all the instruments are there and it's clean.”
“Personally I think the bass is one of the best qualities of the Timeless”
“Still I like them and not going to replace with anything on its price tier.”
“allthough I didnt like the IEMs, but i can see how so many people do.”
“After trying 7hz Timeless... I fall in love with it.”
“channel imbalance ranged from distracting to maddening.”
“I'm loving these too!”
“Timeless has treble that hurts my ears.”
“I already try Timeless and sell it immediately after a few days, it's not match my preference”
“not bad actually....”
“the best planar iem that beats the Audeze and Tin ones - what do you need more!?”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“Just a general type, most of them sold by unknown brand probably quality is running at same level. The ear tips either made by silicone or rubber, I found rubber have better elasticity thus better flexibility.”
“7hz Timeless is famous for its "fit". Or should I say infamous. Sorry, I can't help, but know that you're not alone and some people might be able to”
“If we're talking about that 1st generation (Timeless/S12 style) signature planar sound, I would say: Bass is typically elevated but not "punchy" like DD bass. It tends to be quite resolving so there's good separation between bass instruments.”
“Thanks for such a detailed response. Looks like I might be sittings on these a while longer. I must ask what do you feel is the “Planer Sound”. Also if I went multi driver, do you get weird crossover issues, and again I must say I’m a bass head”
“I don't think you'll get a direct "upgrade" when the timeless is 199 usd already.”
“I know you're not in America, but the timeless 1 is 20 dollars off on Amazon here, and from what I've heard, the 2 isn't really an upgrade, but a side grade with tuning nozzles (when it comes to details and stuff) Though I don't have experience with either, that's just what I heard”
“Will try to look into these, thank you for the suggestion.”
