The IEM side of the cable also has a laminated memory wire with good memory retention which is comfortably at the back of the ears. Perhaps because the cables were light and thin. Moving around with the stock cables did not cause any problems. The 7Hz Timeless can also be bought with different jack terminations including an SE 3.5mm TRS, balanced 2.5mm TRRS, and 4.4mm Pentaconn plugs. The termination on the IEM side is an MMCX connection, which I know some like but my preference is 0.78mm 2-pin as I find MMCX to be hard to remove, and it is no different with these monitors. Timeless is equipped with a custom high-quality cable with its inner core made up of single crystal copper and silver-plated single crystal copper and the outer layer wrapped with a silver foil completing the seamless look. It took several attempts to put in the black silicon tip once, while the translucent blue tip was nearly impossible because of its narrow and stiff stem. Although the white silicon tips are good as it is, the translucent blue tips do have tamer highs and lesser bass while the black tips have less bass, fuller mids, and better highs.ĭo note that the black and translucent blue tips are terribly difficult to put on the Timeless’ wide nozzle. Tip rolling makes a minimal yet noticeable difference on these pairs. there are 3 pairs of different colored tips in 3 different sizes (S, M, L) and 1 pair of small-sized sticky silicon tips. The 7Hz Timeless comes with a rather generous number of tips. Comfortable levels of music drown out white noises that might interfere with pleasurable listening. Isolation of the Timeless is nothing exceptional but it gets the job done. It has the right amount of insertion for the IEM not to dig the side of my ears. The shape of the shell fits perfectly in my ears. Thanks to its lightweight body, wearing the 7Hz Timeless is comfortable even for long periods. In fact, one bud is only rated at 5g per bud, which is light for a dual magnet planar IEM. The shell is made up of a whole piece of aviation-grade aluminum CNC, making it durable and light. The shape is ingeniously designed to accommodate the large 14.2mm planar driver, while still remaining small in size. This is a textured flat circle faceplate that reflects light at multiple angles, resembling the back of the CD. The Timeless indeed has a very unique shape and design. The design is consistent with its name “Timeless” as it looks like something pulled out of the space or perhaps even a watch face to tie in with the concept of time? The color combination of the IEM and cables with black-red-silver does look futuristic, reminding me of the color combinations from some space movie. Together with its 14.2mm planar driver and unique structure, Timeless is tuned to deliver with the aim of delivering a fast response combined with an excellent dynamic range. With just 14.8ohms impedance and 104dB sensitivity, this magnetic planar IEM is surprisingly easy to drive, comparable with dynamic driver-equipped monitors. Copyright 7Hz 2021 Tech HighlightsħHZ Timeless is a universal IEM is a planar magnetic IEM offering with a double-sided array N52 magnet and ultra-thin diaphragm 14.2mm Planar driver. Other offerings from 7Hz are mostly dynamic drivers with various materials such as a beryllium-plated DLC dynamic driver found in the flagship 7Hzi99.Ĭurrently priced at an SRP of $219.99 for the single-ended 3.5mm and $224.99 for both balanced 2.5mm and 4.4mm, this is an entry-level IEM offering competing in the sub $250 category, targeting new audiophiles and old audiophiles alike, especially enthusiasts curious with magnetic planar IEMs. Timeless is unique in that it is the first planar IEM released by 7Hz. The team aims to deliver efficient setups, tuning drivers into their natural abilities, and pushing its boundaries to make them shine. 7Hz is a relatively young brand in the market founded in 2018 by a team of engineers and audio enthusiasts who came together to break into the realm of audio products.
