CONTACT: [e-mail] --------- BES not BESTIs calling the earphone the Thieaudio Hype2 a good idea. I think it does indeed hype but not in a puch above its price way but instead as a redefinition of its price category.

[@fahryst]

Glad that you mention those tips. They are 7Hz H07 tips. They are actually identical to KBear K07 tips but the box comes with 5 pairs those color coded white tips with a pair of those black sticky ones. I'll add a link if you want.

[@AudioLevels]

This is what i needed thanks

[@MrBillUp]

I love my Timeless I exactly because they are round, and separate them from any other earphones on the market. And I don't think they look stupid at all. Not forgetting just how stunning they sound. I haven't tried the Timeless II but you are making me want to upgrade.

[@Andyhandle]

Really, really good review, thorough and your enthusiasm comes through. I've got the first 7hz Timeless and love them - they're fun. However, they run into problems with complex classical (the sennheiser ie600 sound so much better for complex classical). Any thoughts on how do these Timeless 7hz version 2 do with complex classical? And do they have any downsides with the silver tip (or any other tip) compared to the first Timeless 7hz?

[@tomfaulkner2662]

I feel exactly the same, just totally overwhelmed, your opinion at the start of the video made me subscribe, its not just the rediculous collabs, its the hype that you have to contend with when all you want is an honest opinion, fair play for highlighting something that so many of us in this hobby are fed up with

[@IEM_Unbox_Review]

I love the circular top they retained it looks like a vinyl disc

[@taipan75]

I think they're the same tip that came with the Dioko. Thanks for the review. Loves the original, have to get T2 when it comes out 👍..

[@paulosilva8200]

I can see they have sponge density filters inside the nozzle. The nozzle that slided the sound on the side ways must be the same as some of the dd drivers are not directly and makes a sound more soft and warm and then the density filter makes the tuning plus the size of the hole. The smaller the more treble it gets

[@TBMartin]

The day my freezer and dryer packs up is the same day i find out there is going to be another Timeless, great timing lol I adore the Timeless and its been my daily driver for about 2 years now. Its been my daily driver because i couldn't find anything else to replace them until now. I must be one of the few people who likes the design, the disc shape makes it unique and i like that. Thank you for the video

[@angelmamaril6396]

great review! may I ask which filter do you like most?

[@r00s.]

Can't wait for these!

[@NickFabi]

I have read that the release for these have been delayed due to them needing to retune them. If that is the case I am curious how different the final product will sound. If this is not correct then perhaps they are just swamped with orders and are trying to catch up!

[@informedchoice2249]

Thanks mate, good review.

[@Sakhi]

I think I'm in the minority but I love the disc design. They don't make the IEM uncomfortable for me and I feel it's a distinct design where us guys in the hobby know just by the shape what IEM it is

[@Mark_dj86]

You might say, it's a 'Timeless' design ;)

[@GoldFus1on]

I was worried the timeless design would interfere with my ear shape. Glad it doesn’t affect me also the nozzle depth into the ear isn’t too intrusive and was a good transition iem from traditional earbuds

[@squall6789]

Are there any IEMs or buds that DO give that out-of-head sound? I'm an audiophile looking for a VR sound solution.

[@aceofspades6667]

I’ll be honest I get confused between Timeless, Timeless AE, and Timeless II.

[@AudioLevels]

The filters on this one seem to be the big differentiating factor! And a remarkable one at that considering I hate the concept. I

[@DirectorsGarage]

Timeless is the original. Timeless AE has enhanced bass. Timeless II is the next-gen Timeless.

[@maegnificant]

Timeless II is the one that never came out😊

[@AudioReviewsDownunder]

I have a set of those tips too, I think I got my pair with some tips that were very similar to the Kbear 07 tips. Not sure if they're kbear or maybe bgvp. Wish I knew. I have used them occasionally, although they are a medium ish size, which often doesn't quite give me the seal I want, so I mostly use the large Kbear 07. I kind of wish I had a slightly larger pair of these tips, they would be really good to have.

[@josephnevin]

I have the OG timeless and i love it so much so that it has become by go to IEM for enjoying my music. The only eay foreard i see is to get a tribrid from thieaudio like the oracle or for my end game - the monarch mk3. Will this be a proper upgrade to my og timeless or should i save up and aim for the mk3?

[@informedchoice2249]

Thank you for that review i've heard a few reviews now somebody else reviewed them and hated them absolutely hated them strange isn't it perhaps they didn't use the tips on it.

[@jasongibson3574]

Is this the pre-production? I saw another reviewer have one last week and he said it was pre-production and 7hz was still changing the tuning

[@donkolaptyan2449]

So, which one of 7Hz timeless would u recommend for listening to different styles of metal and electronic music? As a source: Fiio M15S.

[@itsMe_TheHerpes]

what do you think about aria and aria snow ? are they any good ?

[@MiroslavHundak]

I have both Timeless and Timeless AE. The differences in sound are minor. The AE version has +3 dB boost in sub/low-bass, which I appreciate, and the extended treble that a lot of people found fatiguing is a bit less harsh. They also have 2-pin connectors instead of MMCX and ship with much thicker cable with replaceable terminations (3.5 mm unbalanced + 2.5 and 4.5 mm balanced). In terms of sound the +$50 premium doesn't seem worth it as you can easily EQ regular Timeless to sound like AE, but the upgraded cable and 2-pin connectors makes up for it in my opinion. I'm really looking forward to Timeless II as I've been using Timeless AE on a daily basis since they came out.

[@Mykeoguns]

How is imaging aka macrodynamics on both? Could you rate them on a scale of 1-10?

[@MiroslavHundak]

@@Mykeoguns I wish I could give a precise answer, but my collection of IEMs is too limited for that. I would put imaging at 6, as in OK, but not as good as Blessing 2. I've no idea where to put macrodynamics. I guess somewhere around 7, if I'm using "Pinta, Nina, Santa Maria (Into Eternity)" by Vangelis for testing, which I often do. Emphasis on "guess".

[@Mykeoguns]

@@MiroslavHundak thanks for the response. I am to buy just one set to close this year and I'm looking at getting any of those for 11:11

[@leonardopapantoniou4227]

Mmm. Replacable terminations. More bass. More polished highs. Planar. A kind of Deja vu. I saw this evolution in S12 vs S12 pro

[@AudioReviewsDownunder]

I like these nozzles, they're very different, I would be interested to hear their sonic characteristics. Although I doubt I'll get a chance to, they're a bit out of my budget right now.

[@sheerkhanful]

Are you still a fan of the Dorado 2020? I own a pair myself and they continue to pay dividends as time goes by. Any change you'll review the Campfire Supermoon?

[@AbuFarouq]

I’ve had earphones with a similar circular design from advance acoustic werkes called the andromeda.

[@EG-MAN]

I hope that is the final version, Resolve did a quick impressions and it didn't go well, probably the same as Mr HBB who is silent for now...

[@VishnuKare]

Nice review. Worth upgrade over the OG?

[@reflection1119]

I have tried the Azla eartips on your recommendation, with the prestige LTD (also on your recommendation). I find the Azla collects dirt and dust far too much. I'm curious to know why you like them so much? Also have you tried the Dunu S&S tips? Id love to hear your impressions on those. (You may have a set with your SA6 MKII)

[@AudioLevels]

I think the same reason most people like them is the reason you don't. The grippyness of the material, it grips the inner ear, forms a great seal. For me I keep the iem's in a pelican case so not really collecting dirt, maybe occasional dust at which point u can just rinse it off and they go back to being tacky. An alternative is of course the E series tips from final. Great tips but without the stickyness you mention.

[@reflection1119]

I've spent some time trying the Azlas (Xelastec and Crystal) the Dunu S&S and the Final E (clear version) All great eartips - but my favourites are the Final E tips, best fit for me.

[@dorisisaway355]

Apparently release is being delayed as they’re fiddling about with tuning. Any chance you can come back to this set when the retail version comes out?

[@AudioLevels]

Yes for sure and i think its something to do with that awful filter tip that came as stock.

[@Gambit33]

You should try to get your hands on the Audeze Euclid. It's discontinued and Audeze stopped manufacturing them, but it's the best planar IEM without the need for EQ. Could be bought on the secondary market at a reasonable price.

[@blorg8206]

It needs EQ more than the likes of the Timeless/S12 and all the other recent planars. It's also very variable as to what exactly you get, so not only does it need EQ, you sort of need your own measuring rig to even know what to do about it. I have it, it's good... after EQ. Before EQ, any of the recent planars are much better tuned.

[@Gambit33]

@@blorg8206 Not even close to being true. I have the Euclid and it sounds very natural and correct than most of my IEMs, including my Thieaudio Monarch MKIII, which is expertly tuned. I guarantee you don't even own the Euclid and most likely have never listened to it.

[@colddish]

I have the AE and love it. Love the so called stupid design too and the best part is it fits my ear nicely. So yeah will definitely check out V2.

[@tomfaulkner2662]

Nice review but the artti T10 planars cost just $80 and they sound that good i do not feel the need to upgrade to the timeless 2.

[@leksasdf]

Do these have the sibilance issues of the original Timeless? I am one of those weirdos who really like the fit of the Timeless, but the upper mids and treble ruins the earphone for me.

[@dylanclarke2949]

watched this when it came out and man these still don't even have a release date. so in a weird way, this video saved me a good chunk of money while i continue to wait haha

[@dorisisaway355]

The only first impression I’d heard was pretty negative. But the stock filter might account for that. Don’t usually go for follow up sets and not keen on the faceplate but now getting interested. Great review and always good to have a new Audiolevels vid. Editing was a bit choppy. Don’t know if it’s because I’m used to the single take but I found some of the edits a bit distracting. Have you tried the Night Oblivion Butastor? Multi BA set from an independent producer. Very hyped on headfi. About $600. Can’t stand it.

[@AudioLevels]

I think if someone heard the stocks it would give a bad taste straigh off. The only reason i continued was because in my experience these types of tips dont do much but the shape was so unique i threw on the original, was impressed and moved on to the final one not expecting much. Glad i did have spent the full day today listening to them and they are getting added to the rotation. Will just stick with the silver filters though and not mess around from here. Thanks i was trying something with the video style, thinking to maybe go to a talking head style as i get more comfortable. But i like doing the one takes a bit more, it just feels less scripted and planned and im more likely to articulate how i feel about something in that format.

[@AudioLevels]

Not tried that one, in fact I hadn't heard of it. 10 BA a side? I just can't seeing it outperform my skuld or SA6MKii with BA's it just comes down to tuning after 5 drivers.

[@GoodBoyShep]

Man, I wish I wasnt poor nowadays. Cause I was looking to get a new iem soon, and the 7hz is one of my favs

[@shortsweetreviews]

Great review. Glad you mention everything about the tips. Glad you mentioned Polyphia as I've never heard of them but but I am listening to them.

Better than Kinera Skuld? 😁. That filters their design, there has to be a lot of resonances (by nature) propably something can make up for it ...

[@misterfinerthings]

Apparently, they've delayed the release to make some last minute adjustments. At least that's what the Linsoul rep said. You may have a rare edition!

If true my guess would be something to with that filter that came on it. Or hoping for a miracle with them chopping the circle off lol.

[@derpderp283]

Is the detail retrieval inproved from og timeless? If so, is it noticeable enough?

[@AudioLevels]

Its more aking to the detail retrival style of the P1 than anything. The original Timeless was already very detailed but theis feels clearer depending on the fileters. With the original style filters (similar to the nozzle on the original) installed on the II is feels very similar. Its only when i threw on the silver filter it really stood out in many aspects. With the gold nipple filters it also sounded very revealing but had a slight metalic sheen. The silver filter kept the improvements with zero adverse affects. Its by far my favourite planar now even though is still love the P1's i think this is so much more versatile and finally has that holographic planar presentation.

Thank you for the review. I was waiting for this. Ugly with a horrible cable. Massive missed opportunity here. So sad! I had Dusk and KATO as mains and when I got the Timeless it was instant LOVE and became my main for one year! I replaced it with OH10+oratory1990 target EQ. It's been my main since March. In the meantime, I tried A5000, Quartet, Orchestra Lite, and IE 200, but OH10 is still my absolute favorite.

[@mutlitaskin]

I know my question pertains to two different driver types, but 7Hz Timeless II or Thieaudio Hype 2?

[@AudioLevels]

Both extremely capable. Depending on what you would like in driver style get it based on that. More detail and clarity on the timeless though. Hype obviously win the ergos, style and cable etc but sound is great on both and really mixes things up at these prices.

Whats the problem with the AE. I prefer MMCX by a long way, only cables i have had fail are 2 pin.

[@epicmike3915]

@@AudioLevels I should have wrote that better. There's no problem with the AE. The AE is better IMO because it uses two pin. Is all preference, but I will say more people are on my side of the fence. MMCX fails way more often. Just read how many people complain about mmcx in many audio forums.

[@AudioLevels]

@@epicmike3915 Ah yes understand. Both definetley have there issues. Tin with the really tight mmcx is a cause for concern. for me bending pins used to be an issue but that's mitigated now we have interchangeable balanced connectors on the termination side. It used to be i would have to change the cable with when i changed player putting more stress on the pins. The other issue i had was with corroded terminals. Many 2 pins have exposed copper in the inside and that would corrode with the ingress of sweat. Funnily enough the logical side of me says QDC is correct in theory but damn I just cant lol
