The Timeless itself is a 14.2mm planar driver within the round disc-like aluminum shell. The driver size puts it smaller than my very own Unique Melody ME1, and the Audeze series of iSine/LCD-i4 and i3/Euclid, but however, it is larger than the RHA CL2, and the various Tin P1, P2, and other recent chi-fi planar iems. The fancy looking rectangular box of the 7HZ Timeless AE comes with the following contents/accessories;
Justin Vernon’s vocals sound just amazing and powerful, while Taylor’s voice is just bit frayed, soundstage too closeAs for the IEM form. Pictures made it look a lot bigger, i was expecting something around the size of the Nuratrue Pro but was pleasently greeted by a much smaller sexy little iem.
Alright alright, I did plug these into my computer to get a better idea of it at high volume which is where the treble impression comes from.
This has been a bit of a strange comparison to the S12, a set that I haven't reviewed yet, but to be honest, they are both excellent IEMs in my opinion. There is very little difference between them as far as sound qualities but I have found myself preferring the overall tuning of the S12. Again, it is very close and it is minor things that only really stand out when comparing them side by side, but I must say I am more of a fan of the S12. Fit wise there is no need to be afraid looking at the huge size of disk, as per my opinion its more of an aesthetic thing that remains outside the ear, the insides of IEM are neatly designed for the comfortable fit and get support from the ear canal. The earpieces are quite light weight and does not cause any fatigue even for long listening sessions. The accessories are befitting of a mid-FI pair of IEMs, and everything is entirely usable out-of-the-box. Ear tips The foam tips even come with their own case! On desktop- N6ii LO and A30s (Burson V5i D) and XDUOO MT602 Sylvania tubes ( beautiful pairing but then low gain on N6ii and also volume at 05 ) have been used.
The faceplate has that has a circular shape reminds me to a vinyl record. Each faceplate sports a laser engraved 7HZ Timeless AE branding on the top. the imaging is a little fuzzy but I don't listen to much music where instrument direction really matters my go-to is listening to music by joe Hisaishi for imaging
The 7HZ Timeless AE is a highly dynamic sounding Planar Magnetic Driver IEM offers a very entertaining overall sound profile. The Timeless AE stands out with its pretty deep, fast and controlled bass response, slightly forward oriented midrange presentation that has a good level of transparency and resolution, and with a treble tuning that has a good sense of clarity, airiness and extension.
The mid range of the Timeless is neatly done. They are not on the face type rather they are positioned at a very good spot for comfortable listening. The energy and the engaging factor is nicely present and those vocals have that natural and smoother tonality which is very pleasing. The timbre of the instruments are near to realistic and no metallic taste is found. The mids are also very similar throught the lower and middle ranges, however, reaching the higher end of the mids, I find that the Timeless are not quite as forward in the vocals as the S12. I mean, the S12 are not exactly very vocal forward but the Timeless are even less so. Saying that, I cannot say that the vocals are recessed, they are not, they are still present enough for me to not complain, just that the S12 has that little bit more.has truly hit it out of the park with Timeless. I always had an idea that planar magnetic drivers cannot move as much air as dynamic drivers and hence will never have that DD slam and physicality. Timeless proved me wrong. The impressively deep and full-bodied bass performance coupled with the highly transparent and bright mids and treble presented in a very open and spacious manner is bound to sweep the listener off his/her feet at the first listen - it surely did me. Life lessons aside. I don't really get it. What does speed mean? You can't play a note faster than it's meant to be played, so what does that leave us? An accurate sound with minimal resonance. Well this daddy likes resonance. And pretty much every type of speaker can play a note as it was meant to be played. So you don't get point for also being able to do it. You might be surprised to know that the Timeless is easy to drive: even a smartphone will do a pretty good job with it. But this IEM responds well to some extra power and a better source, so don’t be afraid to feed it with a good DAC or amp and bump up the volume a bit.
Great Deal
