7Hz Timeless II
Open pageApproved coverage treats the Timeless II as a real second-generation effort rather than a rebadge: the dual-sided 14.5mm planar brings the punchy, fast bass the original was loved for, while the treble extends further and the stage opens up. The consensus verdict is that it is one of the strongest planar IEMs near $229, with the familiar planar caveats: upper-midrange energy that can turn edgy on bright recordings, and a large disc-shaped shell that not every ear tolerates. Compared with the original Timeless, reviewers hear a more refined, more extended, and slightly more expensive-sounding tuning, at a price that moved up alongside it.
