7Hz - Timeless II

I got timeless 2 Saturday and the rest pros Sunday. I notified Amazon I was returning the timeless just after listening to half a song with the teas.

I support the supermix 4 being overhyped, but DO NOT return the timeless 2. The sound and technicality for the price is good, plus the nozzles makes it versatile. I will return the supermix 4 and save up a bit to get a midrange iem like the hype 4 and so on

Yeah, I prefer the Tea Pros, but there are some days I just want to use the Hype 4s, I'd say that was a nice buy! I'd personally keep the Timeless 2s, since I don't really like selling my iems, but id maybe sell them if I don't use them for an extended period of time.

7hz Timeless IIs are the way to go, I recently got them for $155 & I quite enjoy them. Put some Crooner style ballads & you're in heaven

I myself bought the 7h timeless IIs but have yet to receive them. Got them at $155 on the spring sale through Aliexpress

Just got them this afternoon, I'm currently trying out the different nozzles out with them. The following tips are are being used for these: Spinfit W1 (Still my favorite) Tang Sancai Penon Liquer Orange Tips Dunu S&S Tips: (giving them one last chance, went through M & L sizes but they were to small. Have a XL coming in later today or early tomorrow) So far the stock nozzles with the flower on them sound nice & well balanced. Checked couple reviews & All of them said these sound better than the AEs but only slightly better than the original Timeless IEMS. So If these are your first Timeless set then give them a go. They sound amazing

I was in the same situation. I am mainly an AirPods user, and I also use some Sony. AirPods Max battery died, Sony whyxz (or whatever it's called lol) battery died. So I had enough. For music listening, I want quality sound and reliability. So I kept only AirPods 4 for meetings and when I don’t want a cable around + Sennheiser Momentum 4 for “anc” and overblown bass sound 😀 I am a headphone collector, but I bought my first iems last week (Kiwi Ears Aether + 7hz Timeless 2). The sound is superb if you enjoy the V-U-shaped sound, but the clarity is great. I am already looking for some neutral-sounding iems , so I have different options. TLDR: Go for it. If you don’t mind cable, you won't be disappointed.

I have kiwi ears aether and 7hz timeless 2. I like 7hz way more.

Aful 5+2, Timeless 2, Tanchjim Origin, SoftEars Volume S, EPZ P50. Above 400 you have Kiwi Ears Punch as the obvious choice, as long as you like bass. But truly do not underestimate a good source, don't neglect it. Tubes are becoming more normal for portable use now so I would strongly recommend the iBasso Nunchaku and try to stretch your budget a little.

I’d say the et142 is a fantastic choice, same with timeless 2, but since you like the lm the et142 would be closer. Both have 4 different nozzles to tame or boost the upper mids/lower treble. Timeless 2 also has those bullet nozzles that create a spacious sound…a little different but spacious. Ea1000 is pretty much the lm with red nozzles (or the og ea500) but slightly better. I prefer the dunu falcon ultra and tanchjim origin for single dd in that range (also fiio fd15, which is $150). Rather than those 2 planars I’d get the s12 2024, imo it’s still the best planar aside from s15

Will you also get the Timeless 2s? My old ears definitely didn't have issues with planar timbre with that set and it's been frequently compared as a more flexible & more resolving Aether.

Of the ones I tried, it might actually be the Simgot SM4s with the Timeless 2s a close second. I thought the Odysseys were good but preferred the above.

Surprised you didn't mention the 7Hz Timeless 2. It's got useful tuning nozzles and imho has a lot of the good bass and detail you want from a planar. I thought they were one of the best sets I tried at CanJam NYC Only issue is fit. For me they fit great but I'm also using Spinfit NEOs.

This is why I'm surprised to hear so little about the Timeless 2. It has all of the benefits of big planar with N52 magnets with a far more natural sound. Although, it's more expensive for good reason

Hey! Got the 7Hz Timeless II for review. Long story short - they are indeed good and seem like the chifi large-format planar to beat. There is only very little sheen/shout in the upper mids, the technicalities are great, the bass is stellar but kind of "planar". [You can read more here](https://www.headfonia.com/7hz-timeless-ii-review/) and feel free to ask anything in the thread.

Usually - great speed and extension but a bit lacking in impact.

I found them to be pretty genre-agnostic. Bass-heavy music will show off the superb bass capabilities but I never found them to be deficient in any genre. For games they should be okay.

There are multi-driver IEMs that will do better highs. The ZiiGaat Odyssey comes to mind. In terms of planar timbre, there's very little of it, so I was able to adapt to it.

Tonally they are quite similar. For that price, the S12 Pro is a better buy.

They are moderately hard to drive, so I'd look into some dongles.

Very similar. Maybe better highs on the T2. I think the Kiwi Aether is the real challenger now.

I don't think any of these are head-and-shoulders superior to one another. The only drawback I see to the mp145 is earshell size.

IMO, ur doing a good job, return the SM4(overhyped), my only advice is maybe return the timeless 2(get the shozy p20 for 1/3 of the price with same or better perfomance).

I'm looking to upgrade in the future gonna enjoy 7hz Timeless 2 for now. What are the recommendations for upgrade budget around $200 to $400 for mostly EDM music (Bass House, Trance, Electro).

Unfortunately ZiiGaat is hard to find in my country and Xenns is sold out and left the demo unit only. I tried a demo with the Xenns and Hype 4. Pulled the trigger on Hype 4 so far enjoying it. Should I sell off my Timeless 2 or is it worth keeping my only Planar IEM.

Jesus, I just got the Mest MKII, haven’t finished figuring out tips yet, but my general impression is they are very good, but I find more enjoyment from my Timeless. Surprised that was the case, thought maybe I was crazy, but good seeing someone else with the same impression. The Timeless with Dunu S&S tips just have this level of separation and speed that is in its own class. The shocking thing is that so far the Mest does not match the separation, maybe I need the right tips. But the notes are thicker and mids are better. Slightly more rumble.

I went from the Timeless to the S12 to the Artti T10 and I honestly prefer the T10 for metal. They're all very similar, but luckily I like the cheapest one the best.

EQ settings are relative to frequency response. It's like asking how much should I add salt to fries without the information if they're already saltes. The question is what kind of a tuning is ideal for metal and as a metalhead at least in my youth I find that a very interesting question. Preferences matter a lot as well and someone who loves the sound of one IEM maybe just hasn't heard something better yet and can't imagine what the improvement might be. The best tuning for metal I've heard so far with maybe fifty IEMs and some EQ on top was Oluv's mainstream preset for the Free Pro 2's. Really fun yet clean bass and you could push the volume really high without any fatigue etc. Gave me chills with a lot of metal music. With IEMs I have to say I haven't found anything excellent yet and actually KZ Libra (balanced) is easily on of the best for that and costs $10. The bass is pronounced, but much cleaner than the measurements seem to imply. The straight rising bass boost might be the reason instead of a bass shelf. Old but gold would be a Tin Hifi T2 Plus as it really pushes vocals pleasantly forward and has that big energetic feel to it. Not detailed etc at all, but really enjoyable. IEMs I love otherwise like Zero Red, Hexa, MP145, Timeless, B2 Dusk, Dusk DSP just don't impress me at all with metal specifically and I would take the Libra over probably all of them for that. You can make an EQ preset for the Chu to match KZ Libra on the AutoEQ website and elsewhere. Give it a try if you want.

I was genuinely baffled in not just music but in games as well with my 7hz timeless iems, never going back

I tried TheAudio Monarch and Oracle (don't remember Mk numbers) some time ago and wasn't impressed really. The do sound good, and have good technicalities but nowhere near the headphones at this price (Arya or LCD-2C) or substantially better than good quality $200-300 planar IEMs. Tonality is different but that's taste more than anything else. Timeless (1 or 2) is where IEM peaks for me personally, and diminishing return is hitting hard after that. At least based on my hearing abilities.

This is legit... I loved my timeless but the tea pros make the timeless sound like an old fm radio station.

Sorry a $200 iem is nowhere near a really good one at a higher price. I've had the timeless and my clairvoyance, and it's not even close.
