"I wasnt in the crow anymore. I was walking around on stage just hanging out next to the musicians. I wasnt listening to music, i was in the music. Ok both are excellent but these win."
"Timeless (1 or 2) is where IEM peaks for me personally, and diminishing return is hitting hard after that."
"I was genuinely baffled in not just music but in games as well with my 7hz timeless iems, never going back"

"I found 7hz mindblowing years ago ... nothing in twice or 3 times the cost of the 10 options ive tried has presented significant improvement"

"it's very outdated nowadays. ... not because it's good by current standards. ... It was still an early and not-very-refined version of a formula that's been iterated on continually since then."

"the $220 7Hz Timeless sounds good and most people would be happy with it, but it delivers wooly, somewhat bloated bass."
"Personally i do find that my timeless is no where capable of producing the jaw dropping bass quality of my z1r"
Those are my new daily driver IEMs after I upgraded my UM MEST MK2. The change is noticeable - handling of complex songs with lots of instruments playing is insane only time I had this experience is when I demoed a $4k Canpur IEM! Though, I think the OG Timeless is still the best one
r/iems • My first ever IEMs. Life changing ->Endgame for me would be something like Annihilator 2023. I think the Mangird Xenns Top Pro is a good “endgame” iem. I have the Top OG and although it was real good, I tried the annihilator, elysian x effect, u12t so now I consider endgame to be the best possible experience for me. I upgraded to the FatFreq Quantum and I’ll keep these until I can justify spending $2k-3k on IEMs.
r/iems • What is the cheapest iem that you could call "endgame" material ->I have been wondering what planar driver they use. I’ve had the first Timeless and those sound honestly so bad compared to the Top OG and Quantum. Do you have any more info on the driver? Tbh the Super Soundstage noah module is the only reason I love the Quantum. They have one of the widest sound stages I’ve ever heard, and the bass is pretty nice. EQ’s well too.
r/iems • What is the cheapest iem that you could call "endgame" material ->I have the OG timeless 7hz, I like how punchy the bass was but found the treble to be a little harsh (I am quite sensitive to it). I also found the detail of the low-mids and mid-highs to lack the resolution I was hoping for, in my ears it sounded "foggy" for lack of better terms. I recently got the moondrop meteors which are a hybrid iem and found them to be a significant step up and address a lot of my complaints from the timeless (though bass is a little lacking)!
r/iems • What's been your fav planar so far? ->In your position i would pick either Tangzu Heyday or 7hz Timeless (og) rather than Aether. However, if you want buget planar S12 (non pro) might be the best option as well as Artti T10 (non pro)
r/iems • Best IEM for gaming and music ? ->Of this list, my pick would be the S12 Pros. They can do the ethereal and detailed sound for things like small ensemble jazz or classical and then crank it up to 10 for harder metal and rock styles with equal aplomb. The S12 series have been my favorite ever since the introduction of the OG S12s which quickly replaced my OG Timeless. In the years since I've owned or tried most of the major players in the planar market and they have remained my favorite single planar until you get to the CFA Supermoons.
r/iems • Best All-Rounder Planar driver iem? ->Timeless 7Hz. Anyone else or are these too old or surpassed now?
r/iems • What are you favourite IEMs Under $300? ->Timeless 7Hz is great for classical.
r/iems • Best IEM for Classical Music ->My first pair was some Fiio pair (o think the F3?) that everyone raved about for gaming and sound quality compared to how cheap it was....was one of THE WORST sounding hollow tin pieces of shit ive ever heard lol. I swore off all IEMs after that thinking they could never compete with "real headphones" but then I got pretty damn lucky; there was a pricing error on Amazon and I bought 2 pairs of EW300 DSP for me and my ex for $8 each (was supposed to be $80) and damn were they actually pretty fucking close, just had weird highs that I started hearing and didnt like them after 5 months, so I gave them to my niece and bought myself a used pair of 7Hz timeless and just cleaned them, absolutely my favorites so far. I fear this new hobby of mine is going to cost me more than my ex ever did, which she made off with $1000s worth of shit. Oh well I got better headphones/earbuds now 1 point for me; 3450 for her
r/iems • Well that escalated quickly ->The first wave of well-tuned planars (Timeless/S12/etc). That level of technical performance for 200 bucks (or less) was (and still kinda is) insane.
r/iems • Which IEM impressed you the most? ->> The s12 pro are still fantastic in my books. Yeah, it and Timeless broke the meta for a good reason. Roll the clock back to 2020; good tuning was already widespread, but anything technical was >$300 for the very best stuff (like Blessing 2) and >$500 on average.
r/iems • Which IEM impressed you the most? ->My 7hz Timeless for example does in my opinion sound better than my Sennheiser Momentum 4 for example, so I can kinda agree. The same Sennheiser Momentum 4 in my opinion does not sound as good as the Fiio FT1 Pro that is half price. So it's swing and roundabouts
r/headphones • Unpopular Opinion: IEMs Can Sound Better Than Headphones and I Said What I Said. ->Knowing your recommendations here, do you have any experience with the 7hz Timeless. I have them and I like the bass on them (once I EQ a bass bump into them) but Ive read a lot of ppl saying they’re disappointed by the bass and Im wondering what something better would sound like. Im wondering how they compare to what youve mentioned above because I def like bass but Ive been underwhelmed by the Zero Blue 2s (rather fatigue-ing).
r/iems • Suggest me a good bass-heavy IEM around $100 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
