7Hz Timeless AE Review / Full Impressions and Thoughts

[@leroykolditz2225]

thanks and good job on the Vid👌🏿I had mine for 1 week now, i absolutely love them. As you said the cable is really good, but my first pair i ordered had to be sent back because the left pin didnt work properly. I came frome the final audio A400 and they where just a bit to light and weak on the bass for me. The timeless AE are a perfect fit for me☺couldnt be happier with them!

[@AndelMar]

Are there any more iems on your radar, or is the AE gonna be your daily driver for a good while?

[@leroykolditz2225]

@@AndelMar They gonna be my daily driver for a long time now. For the fact alone that my wallet needs to recover 😅 And from what i read/saw, better iems then this are in the 500-600 dollar range.

Thanks for making this. Gonna buy it

[@Ysbeer11]

I purchased set, cant wait to hear them. Thanks for the video. Keep up the content

[@wana.me003]

Thank you for your hard work and review. Looking into getting these. I like your presentation style. Your personality input on the video makes you relatable. Keep it up!

[@AndelMar]

Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot. I have new stuff coming in the near future, and if there anything I should check out/ make a video on, I'm open to suggestions

[@Strizz484]

Haha that's me on both comments, btw. Great review man, agreed on all counts

[@AndelMar]

Thanks a lot man, its positive people like you keep this community up😌

[@AndelMar]

Anything I should cover on the future with these? And is there any iem I should look into to compare these with/ look into in general?

[@Strizz484]

@@AndelMar you gotta try the HBB Hook-X / og Hook-X if you get a chance, the tuning and soundstage in particular are pretty incredible. A warmer set than the Timeless for sure but it handles bass & mids better than all the other planars, imo. It's not a set for crystal detail retrieval like the AE, but the 3D soundstage puts everything else I've heard to shame lol

[@AndelMar]

@StrizzMatik Alright I'll look into it

[@ko4ichigo]

nice vid found it on reddit!!!

[@davemelnick6977]

I am considering purchasing these iems , when you mentioned the braiding you tss as talked about the noise it makes if rubbing together. I work as a janitor and move around and need to know if there are any microphonics with the cable while listening to the music?

[@colddish]

I don’t have the OG but have CCA PLA13, KZ PR1 Pro and Letshuoer S12 to compare with. At first hearing the AE’s bass was pretty overpowering and not much treble. So I let it burn in for a couple of hours. That seemed to work as the AE opened up in the up registers starting to sound sweet and detailed. S12 and Pr1 Pro were my favourite where S12 has that hifi sound albeit slight recess in mids but when listening side by side with the AE the S12 sounds thin. I consider the KZ a good all-rounder but comparing to AE it lacks resolution especially in the bass area. The AE will be my go to iems for now but will be on the lookout for something with better soundstage and mids.

[@AndelMar]

Strange, sound stage, on my set at least, sounds like a small concert, like a moderately sized living room where a band is playing on front of or around me which is really good for iems, since iems usually don't excel at soundstage. Besides that, I'm on that same journey to find an iem that can top the experience I've had with the Timeless AE. The resolution is amazing, to say the least. Feel free to say more about your experience as you find out more, I'd be interested to hear about it since I don't hear much about the Timeless AE otherwise

[@darkgravity237]

Great review! I am looking for an excellent IEM that I can use for music but also for drumming as I am a drummer. Do these have good noise isolation?

[@AndelMar]

Noise isolation is not the best, it dampens noise, even very harsh noises while in the ears but unless music is playing it's not hard to hear the gist of sounds around you and know what's going on, or what people are saying. This might be ok for a drum set because of how it dampens harsh noise, but if you want as much isolation from all sounds as possible than there may be better choices, maybe an iem made of a material like resin

[@darkgravity237]

@@AndelMar Thank you for the swift reply. Could isolation be improved with foam tips?

[@AndelMar]

@DarkGravity 237 Just tried it with some foam tips, and they isolate pretty well. Did an A/B test between the 7hz Timeless AE with foam tips and the Aful Performer 5 with stock silicone tips.The P5 has good isolation with its stock silicone tips, and the foam tips gave the T-AE more isolation than the P5.

[@darkgravity237]

@@AndelMar Thank you so much! The P5 was another one I was considering.

[@darkgravity237]

@@AndelMarAnother question: How are the microphonics on the cable? If you rub it on something while wearing the iem, will it transmit sound to your ears? Also the case looks thick, is it pocketable at all? Thank you so much for your consistency and reliability.

[@dineshreddy8037]

can these be powered adequately by a laptop 3.5 mm port or do we need a dac? i am looking to buy these and i dont have a dac

[@AndelMar]

They'll work fine through anything, they work better with better sources but they don't need it to work well

[@alrizo1115]

As you've said that the soundstage goes beyond 5 feet from the head? I have aria and from the center, it can only reach about half a foot on both left and right while very blurry front/back in terms of positioning.

[@AndelMar]

The soundstage is wonderful on the 7hz Timeless AE, I haven't tried the Moondrop Aria but I know that soundstage in general isn't the best in iems due to how restricted the space for sound to move throughout the inside of iems is, so iems like the Timeless AE and even the original Timeless are a bit of an anomaly when it comes to soundstage even for their price ranges Even something like the Ikko OH10 ($200) a wonderful iem for the price doesn't have half as good soundstage abd imaging as the Timeless AE, so I would assume that the Moondrop Aria's soundstage isn't the best either The Moondrop Aria's are still a fairly good iem especially if you like the it's tuning but if you would ever like to upgrade from your Moondrop Aria's, I can give a few recommendations depending on your budget and what you're looking for in an iem

[@HaoNguyen-ut9pj]

@@AndelMar can you suggest some 7Hz Timeless alternatives?

[@AndelMar]

@Hào Nguyễn Thank you for the idea. I'll start work on a video about that, thanks. Oh, and if you want some alternatives, you have the Aful Performer 5, the Raptgo HBB Hook X, and the Letshuoer S12 Pro you could look at. They are not 100% on par for the Timeless AE's performance, but they get surprisingly close and thus are all very competitive with the Timeless AE.

[@ko4ichigo]

this iem vs blessing 3 what would u pick?

[@AndelMar]

I haven't tried the Blessing 3 yet, but I heard the resolution of both are pretty on par. It really comes down to the tuning and fit that would work best for you. Do you want a vocal focused iem with a bigger size and nozzle (Blessing 3), or a mild V-shape tuned iem with smooth detail in the treble with a smaller more lightweight fit (Timeless AE)? The TAE has more accessories, but if you're going for straight sound, there's not much to lose with either of these picks. Definitely do more research to find which tuning best fits your music library and other purposes if they apply. I'm planning on doing a comparison between the Timeless AE and Blessing 3 Dusk when the Dusk does eventually come out
