Good all-rounder set with solid tech. Good variety with the nozzles that actually changes the sound. Treble is smoother than other planars, and not much "planar timbre".

Sounds is identical to the Timeless OG. Clean, impactful bass, great detail, fast transients. Upper mids are a bit intense, bright treble, planar timbre.

The 7Hz Timeless II updates its predecessor with a 14.5mm planar magnetic driver featuring a dual-sided silver alloy diaphragm and N52 magnets, offering improved responsiveness and reduced "planar timbre" compared to the original . Its standout feature is the four interchangeable nozzles, allowing tonal adjustments—though the bullet-shaped variants suffer from condensation issues and noticeably reduce treble clarity . Comfort is decent for medium-to-large ears, but the aluminum shells may challenge smaller anatomies, and isolation remains average despite a secure fit .

Tonally, the Timeless II leans neutral with a sub-bass lift, delivering fast, textured lows that avoid bleeding into the mids . Midrange clarity is strong but can edge into harshness with upper-mid-forward tracks, while treble extends well without excessive sibilance . Technically, it excels in imaging precision and soundstage width, though depth and height feel constrained next to hybrids like the Simgot ET142 .
