Great review! Thank you very much :) What would be a good IEM with bass elevation, dark, warm, with decent soundstage, and as detailed as possible with that sound signature? Something like the Argons MKIII but on IEM. Something fun. Does this exist? I feel that iems tend to be somewhat dry and aggressive...

What is your budget range?

@nikolaygramchev Год назад

I adore the 7hz Timeless OG and I got the AE yesterday. 1/ I wanted a second pair since I plan some experiments; 2/ hoped for some improvements like more sub-bass, less recessed vocals. Well, I got it - sub-bass is already slightly more, mid-bass a spec more but enough to make bass guitars and drums fuller, male vocals are more textured, slightly warmer. But even more treble is more liquid w/o loosing details and airiness and even cleaner.

@maksymfrost8846 2 года назад

Happy New Year, Dave, and wish you the best!💫Thanks a lot for all your reviews, they're really honest, professional and awesome! Keep it up! If you don't mind I have a couple of questions. How do these iems reproduce vocals? I'll explain. I used Dan Clark Aeon 2 closed-back headphones so the voices sounded like a step or two behind you and it was a problem to me cause I prefer vocals one or two steps in front of you. So what about 7hz Timeless? I heard you saying about the Moondrop Kato that you like them for listening to RU-vid and watching movies. I also listen to a lot of RU-vid, podcasts and tv shows so my main priority is to hear natural, clear, well-articulated and pleasant voices without any sibilance. Would you tell me please which Moondrop Kato or 7hz Timeless is my cup of tea? Or maybe there is something better? Budget is not a problem up to $500.

@juanblanco7898 2 года назад

I honestly forgot how good your reviews where until recently when I had to watch through LOTS of other reviews on this set. This is great! I shouldn't have neglected this channel for sure. Could you, by any chance, compare these to the Ikko OH10? I get it they're pretty different in technology and tuning as well, but it should be possible still. Would have been of great help to me since I only have those as a solid reference at the moment. The more in-depth the better, but just about anything will be greatly appreciated

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind words, greatly appreciated ❤️ As for the comparison to the OH10.... I haven't heard it in a long time. If memory serves me correctly, the OH10 is not as well resolving, not as controlled throughput and is more v-shaped. That is all that I remember about the OH10.

@juanblanco7898 2 года назад

@@TheHonestAudiophile Thank you! Sounds about right, just like I expected. Do you remember anything about their soundstage? It is considered to be almost the best in this regard under 300$ and their tuning certainly helps with it at the expense of more neutral tonal balance. Can't do both exceptionally well, I believe. At least at this price point. Well, if you don't remember than it probably means there wasn't that much of a difference to leave an impression. Some would argue that the perceived sounstage is so limited with IEMs in general that there's very little sense in all this talk at all. Not me, though. I think that the staging might be one of the most important aspects even if it comes at the expense of sheer resolution and microdetails. Although I'm ready to trade one for another, but with moderate gains/concessions. To a reasonable degree, of course. I've read that the Moondrop Aria actually has pretty decent sounstage buy it certainly lacks in clarity and resolution. Etymotic ER2XR, on the other hand, purportedly are detail monsters for the price but come with minuscle sounstage and somehat compressed macro dynamics. Both would be a no go for me.

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

To be honest, I don't recall the OH10 soundstage enough to compare.

Makes me wonder about the new iteration! Hope you get them soon for review.

@aaroncurtis7752 2 года назад

First off great review. Just had a question, I know you said you got the 3.5 cable which means they are not balanced. If you were to get the 4.4 cable making them balanced, would that change the sound?

Great review, thank you! Interesting that the tips made such a difference for you. I definitely had to try quite a few different tips before settling on Spinfit CP100's. I wonder if my choice of tips are why I never experienced sibilance, which is what another reviewer was complaining of? I also have the Blessing 2, and so far (it's been about a week of ownership only) I am really enjoying the Timeless. For me, it addresses the tiny things I would wish changed on the B2, namely more bass and tone down the treble a smidge. I feel like it both doesn't have the same clarity as the B2 but I can also hear more, and your way of describing note weight clarified my thoughts for me.

@JPC326 2 года назад

Really tie between the two. You seemed a little more enthusiastic with the Moondrop Kato than those one. Also it seem to me that the Kato have a more "new user" friendly package, no need to buy other tips, etc. What about the build quality are they about the same ? Would it worth it to step up my budget a little ? instead of 200-250 are there really grat step up option if I go to 250-300 ? Or it is not worth it because of diminishing return ?. Again thanks really a lot for your time and your video, those are really instructive !

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

Both the Timeless and Kato are "new user" friendly, I used the stock tips with both. The Kato is built a little better but the Timeless is no slouch.

Best stock iem case ever. I've heard some people complain it's hard to get the Timeless back in the case which also confuses me. They must be wearing oven mitts. I keep an iBasso DC01 dac in the case WITH the Timeless. It's a great pairing with them btw, they scale REALLY well with one

Thanks for your impressions. I like the case but it is a solid chunk of metal and 8t is small, barely fits the Timeless inside. Mine easily opens up so I'd be careful with it in a bag. I don't wear pants with big pockets so it doesn't fit in any of my pant pockets.

I’m a girl, and agree that the stem is stubby, but they work fine for my precious, fragile little ears. So guys I’m not sure that will work too well for you, unfortunately, but it is matter of taste I suppose. I do produce music, electronic mainly, and I was born with perfect pitch, which i only learned later I life, so i am very picky, apparently, and I think the detail is incredible with these. I can’t afford to spend more than $300 at any one time for stuff like this, so I’m sure there is better, out there, but I will never know, unless I build them myself. This is why I have beautiful horween leather boots, I decided to build them myself. So maybe, one day. Highly recommend these.

Nice review as always, the 7hz timeless is one of the very few audio products I've ever ordered sound unheard, now after your review i feel alot happier after my order. Question what headphones does the 7hz most sound like, im more of a headphone 🎧 guy thanks.

@Hari-kx2er 2 года назад

I have the 7hz Timeless. For me, it sounds like a portable mini Sundara!!

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

@chefsteve Awesomeness. I look forward to hearing your impressions. I would say they are similar to the Hifiman Sundara.

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

@Hari Sankar Agree 100%

@Genoflesh 2 года назад

I would say the Timeless sounds a bit like my K712 Pro. The midbass slam and authority is very comparable. The K712 Pro obviously has better soundstage but separation and imaging is quite in the same tier. These might be the benchmark for how to tune well a planar.

Hi Dave, want to get the Timeless...but people also sayin...good bass quantity lacking definition and quality,lack of depth of soundstage leaves you disconnected, playing the whole sound on front means flat, actually great but not engaging ...can you comments on that please Thanks ✌️♥️

@TheHonestAudiophile 2 года назад

Soundstage and bass are both covered with detail and indepth in the review. We all hear differently and there are a lot of factors that impact our impressions; music preferences, source gear, ear design, ear health, listening volume. If I had any complaints about the Timeless being unengaging or lacking in bass I would have said so in the review. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing 💓
