Timeless II

timeless 2 are a beast. if you're happy with these, these can hold you out till endgame which nowadays can be had for 400$\~ on sale in something like xenns top pro

oh ur good drivers for most of them are generally pretty similar just tuned diff. s12 pro, timeless 2, kiwi ears aether, even the cheaper artti t10

planar iems are great for rock. if you want a flatter neutral leaning sound profile then 7hz divine thing is with planars is that the bass is fast and you can crank it up more while still maintaining that clarity and separation. So if you'd abit more bass and more energetic signature then you have stuff like 7hz timeless 2

I'm like you. I was out of the iem space for years and only just returned. I've got the Campfire Audio Polaris, FIIO FH9, KZ ZS12 PRO X, and 7HZ Timeless II. The 7HZ Timeless II is by far the best sounding IEM I've heard to date. It's a planar and my god it has bass for days, amazing instrument separation, awesome mids presentation for rock/metal, resolving highs and it was only $229 USD. The Timeless II is great for rock/metal, hip hop, and EDM. Likewise, the KZ S12 PRO X is in spiting distance of sounding on par with my much more expensive FIIO FH9. Skip the name brand stuff and check out the chi-fi scene 100%.

my first (and only) DAP is Hiby R4, and I bought 7hz timeless 2 with it as well a word of advice, while timeless 2 sounds amazing (the more I listen to it the more I love it) it's quite big and getting a comfortable fir with it is not easy, at least for me if I could go back in time I would probably buy some other planar iems

High quality bass? Yes. Basshead? Nah.

Very nice choice, I have the exact same DAP also with the cassette case, paired with either the 7Hz Timeless II for IEM and the Sony MDR MV1 for full-sized headphones. Feels like my endgame 😎

2nd this, bought the second handed one and it's amazing

¿Y nadie recomienda los 7Hz Timeless II? De mis favoritos de este año: [https://hiendportable.com/2025/01/26/7hz-timeless-ii-review/](https://hiendportable.com/2025/01/26/7hz-timeless-ii-review/)

Sí, son más caros, pero para mí fue el primer 5 estrellas de este año, el mejor planar a mi juicio de todos los que tengo y no son pocos (S12, S12 Pro, S12 2024, Simgot ET142, S08, S15, MP145, MP143, etc, etc.). Hay unos IEMS que me gustan que pueden estar por ese precio $100 que son los **NICEHCK F1 Pro**. Mira reseñas. Mis otro 5 estrellas del año son los LetShuoer DX1, que tienen un sonido más equilibrado, algo más caros. Puedes mirar unos de los favoritos de Mark, los Truthear Pure que están en ese precio que buscas. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSuqYB3NbR8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSuqYB3NbR8)
