Vocal EDM - Thieaudio Oracle. Best I've ever heard. Timeless is very good but Oracle is ridiculous. Haven't heard Kato.

Way too expensive!

Oracle ... really well tuned but I think I found them boring. I ended up never listening to them so I sold them. I would agree that overall they are better than Timeless but I am enjoying Timeless a lot more. Different strokes for different folks.

Can anyone compare these to the Moondrop Kato? Been reading about those and not sure which to get now -- want something with amazing vocals and good bass (I listen to vocal EDM).

Honestly, I don't know what Vocal EDM is. When you say "good bass" do you mean, or also mean, a lot of bass?

Penon Serial or Globe, depending on your taste, would fulfill your wants.

I am done buying cable for my Timeless. I have pure copper, pure silver and graphene cable for it so far. But, I grab the utws5 + Timeless pair more often as I find wireless more convenient. My second pair of Timeless will be wired so no regret buying those cables.

Bought a Fiio LC-RC for Timeless for the swappable plugs but it really attenuated the bass. I was ok with the stock cable but it's 4.4mm and all my DAP's have 2.5mm, only one has 4.4mm (and 2.5mm). I'm using what I have on hand. Right now an OCC Litz copper cable which sounds fine. Looks like you have the bases covered.

Just answering his question regarding vocal EDM. Oracle is the best I've heard. I agree the Timeless are better overall for me as well.

A good example is Afrojack - Anywhere with you. Very vocal heavy electronic music with bass drops.

Interested to hear which one you like best. They all have a different sound on the Timeless.

I own those or very similar cables. My favorite, however, is the Rhyme.

I get it.
Just making conversation.

Finally ordered Timeless - @F700 - you still here?! You planted a seed in my head that grew and eventually brought me here!

I just picked up a couple of new sets of IEMs, including the Timeless and they sound damn good! I used my Fiio FH3 EQ settings out of the box and was surprised by how well it immediately matched the sound I tend to aim for.

With that said, I am hearing one strange sound: at what I would call 11 'o clock in my head (top of forehead being 12 and chin being 6) I can... sense... a weird, metallic shimmer effect (like, a sharp buzz) when something in the upper high-range plays eg cymbals in heavy-metal music. You have to listen for it to hear it, but once you hear it you can't un-hear it. I'm wondering if this is simply part of the sound signature of these IEMs or if my set is off.

Has anyone else heard/felt/sensed this oddity with the Timeless?

Yes I have and it smoothed out after about 100hrs at least for me

Thank you, sir. I often get nervous that I bought something faulty, and used to have a chronic problem with returning products, but I try now to be less picky and give things more time to settle in. ...a much less stressful life.

Planars are famous for improvement over time (burn-in) 100 - 150 hours will bring the biggest settling in but they will continue improving through 300 hours. Nothing wrong with your set, all part of your courtship and journey with them.
