I don't use the 7hz timeless (og) as much as I should, because iems irate my ear canal, but whenever I do, I'm astounded by their sound quality.

For me, the best iem <$1000.

Speaking of great 7hz sets, I’m lost in Legato land. I can’t take them off. They’re supremely entertaining. By far the best bass focused set I’ve heard. They’re not boomy and uncontrolled. Instead bass has tons of slam and presence without obscuring the other frequencies. They’ve got a big soundstage and decent detail. These are HIGHLY recommended to actual bass heads, the bass head curious and even those who just want a more dramatic, powerful rendering of their music.

I have tried so many tips over the years. I'm good for about 30 mins, then the irating itch starts in both ears. Doesn't happen with foams, but I don't like foams!

Ps it's not an allergy problem, I had it checked out. I use spinfit 100's which are as good as I have found.

Which ones are you using? I tried a lot of tips until I settled with the H570. And will buy others and try it with the Timeless.
I used Comply foams for a couple of years with my Audio Technica CKM99, but they increased the bass and muffled the mids and highs.

I use the Timeless with Final E tips and Dunu Blanche cable and that combo fed from my 1Z comes very close to my IER-Z1R with much the same kind of sound sig

Thanks again, but I have done extensive tip rolling, including the Alza's & Whizzer's.

I've never used Azla's but they are very respected and used by the community.
The W1s are also one of the favourites.
Give a try to the H570 if none of the others do the trick.
BTW what cable are you using?

 

[jsk ksj]

The cables have no effect on ear itch
The original cable was the 4.4mm, but I use an inexpensive kbear 3.5mm mostly because the mojo2 is single ended. If I plug them directly into the fiio m11, I will use the 4.4mm, but I have never heard an audible difference between them.

I'm curious if you've listened to Moondrop's higher end offerings because I already have the Timeless (in my ears right now actually) and I wanted to look into some of the higher end Moondrop stuff as my next fix because I keep hearing and reading positive stuff. Are you saying that literally no IEM whatsoever on the market is worth purchasing for below $1000 if I already have the 7Hz TImeless? Just curious. Also, what would you recommend as a higher end IEM?

Timeless is a really good value at any price to be honest, but whether it can beat everything under $1k would be more due to personal preferences and priorities in sound. For resolution, I think it is super hard to beat under $1k, I have to go to my Monarch Mk2 to beat Timeless's resolution in straight A/B comparison. However, if you prioritize natural timbre, heavier bass punch, or smoother treble, there are definitely closer competitions within similar price range.

As an upgrade path from Timeless, I think you have to identify what you really like about Timeless first, and then double down on an IEM that does that better than Timeless. For myself, I often prioritize resolution above everything else, so my natural progression was to Monarch Mk2.
