I found my setup gave it a very nice breadth and height, and it performed well enough in terms of staging for an IEM.
7HZ TIMELESS PORTABLE
I used the 7Hz Timeless predominantly balanced on my desktop setup as I didn’t really fancy it as a portable pair. However, on some songs, it can get a little too spicy, and potentially fatiguing for long listening sessions.
The Timeless can handle complicated and congested music with ease. However, I appreciated how it made the percussions punchier and crisper, and I really enjoy the nuance and layers that it adds to the sound.
Cymbal crashes come across a little dry without any splash, but with a very sharp attack, and I can see why some people may not be a fan of this characteristic. Treble is very speedy and have a very good resolution. Plugging the Timeless into a better source makes the mids a bit more expansive and gives it more space to shine, overcoming the “recessed” feeling. Vocals shine well with a soft edge to them so they don’t come across as overly clinical. Exceptional performance for its price bracket. The tonality of the mids are very impressive, and the Timeless strikes a good middle ground between resolution and musicality. The upper mids have a very crisp response. This plays well with the clarity of the upper mids and gives a very nice layering effect on the sound. The bass extends very deep and has a satisfying Subbass rumble that shines on EDM tracks (The Fat Rat Xenogenesis). It slowly became more enjoyable the more I listened to it (brain burn-in?) Perhaps it provides a slight relief and respite to the crystal-clear attack of the upper mids and treble, making the 7Hz a much more enjoyable Planar IEM as compared to others like the TinHiFi P1. The bass comes off a tad bit too strong and heavy-footed, especially when I first tried it on. The bass seems a little mismatched with the rest of the sound in terms of speed. My biggest gripe with the 7Hz Timeless is probably the bass. Nutcracker Suite – Boston Symphony Orchestra.Soundįrequency Response Graph of the 7Hz Timeless The nozzle isn’t too long, but the stiffer and slightly longer nozzle on the AZLA SednaEarfit tips helped give a tight seal. It’s good to note that the disk is only on the exterior and doesn’t touch the ear, hence I didn’t have any discomfort, though YMMV. There is a huge circular disk acting as a faceplate, giving the IEM an iconic look. However, the fit is a little out of the ordinary. My only concern is the MMCX connection as usual, but I don’t think you would have any issues as long as you connect/disconnect them properly. To get the build quality out of the way, I think they are handsomely built, with all-metal construction for the buds and a matte black finish. The stock MMCX cable can come in the termination of your choice (2.5mm/4.4mm balanced or 3.5mm single-ended).
7HZ TIMELESS FULL
The bundled case has a full metal construction with a fabric lining on the inside, it’s a little small considering the Timeless is on the larger side and I didn’t really like the idea of the metal construction as it’s really heavy and can scratch other things in your bag. An extra set of nozzle filters are also included. Honestly, they didn’t really appeal to me so I tip rolled a few third-party tips and after trying on the Azla SednaEarfit Tips, I never looked back.
The Timeless comes with quite a selection of silicon tips and some foam tips. Spoiler alert: I enjoyed my time with the 7Hz Timeless and I wanted to minimize the Hype Train Effect. I’m incredibly late to reviewing this pair but I really took my time with this one. The cable above is the XINHS 8-core Silver Cable (review) from my personal collection.
