7Hz Timeless 2 VS Artti T10

Youtube Video Summary

Timeless 2 shows up with a bigger, round shell (carbon-fiber face, metal rim), a nice hard case, and an oddball-but-cool ribbon cable on MMCX that feels a bit stiff. The real headline is the swappable nozzles: tiny side-vent “pin” nozzles (stock), a “flower” top-vent nozzle, and a large side-vent set. Tip pack is a colorful grab bag (no foams), and care is needed because narrow bores can block those side vents. Power isn’t a problem—this set is very efficient and plays happily from a phone or desktop amps without turning harsh.

Sonically, the three nozzles behave like three different tunings. The stock tiny side-vents are wide, chill, and distant—easy listening with big space. Swap to the “flower” top-vent and everything snaps into focus: detail rockets up, staging comes closer, and transients clean up without tipping into sibilance; bass also tightens and gains punch. The big side-vent option brings more bass weight and a huge stage, trading a bit of hyper-detail for scale and fun. Tip rolling matters: wide-bore silicone (e.g., Dunu SS) or high-seal foams can make it a party in the head, while tight-bore foams can choke the vents and thin the sound.

With the right nozzle/tip combo, Timeless 2 goes from “good planar” to aggressively engaging: thunderous taiko hits, breathing and string texture on acoustic tracks, and club-ready energy on electronic. It feels like the most complete planar IEM here—big soundstage, real bass presence, and crisp clarity that invites louder listening. If pricing sits around the speculated $260–$320 range, this could muscle aside a lot of sets under $500–$600. Verdict: a bold, successful experiment that delivers three flavors of planar goodness, with the “flower” nozzle as the standout for clarity + slam.

The Artti T10 is a 14.2 mm planar dressed in an unapologetically industrial shell—textured, raw, almost “1980s test-gear” chic. In the box: case and a solid cable with a 3.5 mm or 4.4 mm choice at checkout (no modular tips to swap later). The shocker is the price: $69 with a 15% coupon, a package that feels like it should sit closer to the $200–$250 crowd. One big knock: a paper insert from the retailer pushing incentivized 5-star posts for $10—hard pass on that practice. Aesthetics aside, the overall presentation screams “budget done right” without pretending to be luxury.

Sonically, this set hits like a grown-up S12: wide staging, crisp detail, and a sweet, forward treble that stays exciting without turning glassy. Bass comes in clean and controlled, vocals land with satisfying color, and the tuning keeps tracks engaging across genres—laid-back when the mix calls for it, energetic when it gets heavy. It scales with source (surprisingly happy on tubes like WA7), and tip-rolling pays off—deep-seal options (Render, Dunu SS, XELASTEC-style) add presence and grip. Under $100, it’s easily a top-five contender on sonics alone. Final word: 9/10 for sound; would edge closer to perfect with a modular plug system and a better tip spread, but as a wide, detailed, insanely good-value planar, the T10 absolutely delivers.

Youtube Video Summary

Timeless II modernizes the original’s high-detail character into a more approachable package. The headline is four tuning nozzles (Gold Flower, Silver Flower, Gold Bullet, Silver Bullet) that meaningfully shift presence/upper mids and treble, letting listeners choose between a relaxed, natural profile and a forward, planar-typical clarity. Build quality, modular cable and accessories are polished, fit is comfortable, and the overall aim is to give newcomers an easy entry into planar detail without the harsher edges.

With the Silver Bullet, vocals move forward with crisp articulation and strong resolve; the bass shelf sits near Timeless AE levels with clean definition, while treble is consciously smoothed to reduce planar sharpness and sibilance. The Flower filters sound more relaxed and dynamic-driver-like but give up some nuance and air. Out of the box it is not as perfectly balanced as the S12 2024 reference, yet the nozzle/foam system provides real tuning flexibility: small foam changes can restore upper-treble air and add stage height, making Timeless II a versatile, top-tier option at its price.

7Hz Timeless 2 arrives as a polished successor to the original, delivering a smoother, more refined treble and a presentation that feels less “planar” in timbre. Its headline feature is the interchangeable nozzle system that meaningfully changes the sound—three distinct tunings rather than subtle tweaks—so fit and flavor are easier to dial in. Technicals remain solid for the class (layering, separation, staging), but the emphasis shifts from raw edge to easy, airy listenability; compared to brighter, snappier planars, this one trades a touch of bite for balance and comfort. Pairing with regular Sedna-style tips further smooths the top end without dulling it.

Midrange is handled with a calmer 2 kHz region, so vocals sound less forward and less shouty on energetic tracks. The silver nozzle tames that zone even more, appealing to listeners who prefer flatter upper-mids while adding a sense of openness and clarity. Bass is punchy, quick, and clean with good impact that avoids bleed; it won’t out-slam a strong dynamic-driver set, but the planar low-end here feels tight and versatile, fitting an all-rounder profile. If ultra-etched detail and hyper-tactile treble are the goal, some rivals push further; if the priority is smoothness without boredom, Timeless 2 hits the brief.

As a value play, sub-$100 options still undercut it, yet the combination of refinement + three nozzles makes Timeless 2 competitive at its price. Owners of recent planars may find it a side-grade in sheer technicals, but for anyone starting fresh—or seeking a safer, fuller tuning that scales reasonably—this is a confident recommendation. Use the smoothing tips and select the nozzle that fits the library, and it becomes a comfortable daily driver for most listeners.

Youtube Video Summary

Artti T10 hits the budget planar brief with a thoughtful package: a sturdy hard carry case, six pairs of tips (S/M/L in both standard and wide-bore), and a supple 4-wire cable offered in 3.5mm or 4.4mm. The cable behaves well, but the chin slider is frustratingly stiff. Build is reassuring—polycarbonate shells with a UV treatment, metal mesh at the nozzle, and sensible venting—while remaining exceptionally light. It asks for a bit more juice than a phone; a small dongle DAC is recommended. Comfort is solid for average ears, though the “tiny ears test” fails as jaw movement can break seal. Styling leans retro hearing-aid; the “Council of Ladies” gave it a unanimous thumbs-down.

Tonally, this is a mild V-shape with excellent sub-bass extension and punch, speedy planar bass that stays clean, and mids that are accurate with a hint of female-vocal forwardness. Treble is clean, smooth, and non-fatiguing, walking the harmonics tightrope without glare. Technicals impress across the range: clear microdetail, crisp transients, confident separation, and a stage that places instruments naturally with good stereo imaging. It handles electronic bass drops, rock kick drums, complex vocals, and fast acoustic picking with equal ease—planar speed without the usual edge.

Against peers, T10 reads like a slightly more relaxed Letshuoer S12 at a fraction of the cost; brighter and more energetic than Letshuoer S08 and Hidizs MP145, and more lively than the more neutral NiceHCK F1 Pro. It’s a clear step up from the budget Luna, especially when found on sale. Accessory parity is strong, ceding only to sets with modular cables (S08/S12 Pro). Verdict: at $75 MSRP this earns “This is brilliant” on the Audio Amigo scale, with a standing upgrade to “You should buy this” if available around $50. A top-tier value pick for anyone wanting a mature, engaging planar—so long as small-ear fit and the looks aren’t deal-breakers.
