Me too. My 2nd pair of Timeless (that arrived with a bad MMCX connector on the left monitor) are on their way back to China, and I figure I can A/B a pair with the other pair of Timeless I have from Drop.com.
I guess the Shuoer S12 is the Soloist 2 that Super* Review /
@MRSallee was talking about back on page 34 of the thread and shared his FR charts for:
Given that I expect to be dealing with the hassle of the product return to China into February, that'll give me time to check these out before I decide whether to get a refund for my bad set of Timeless, or a replacement instead.
In Timeless-only news, I had my first "good IEMs reveal bad sources" experience last week, while I was A/B testing a set of Custom Art FIBAE 4 CIEMs I picked up cheap second-hand back in October, and took advantage of Custom Art's amazing ownership transfer service. The FIBAE 4 had just arrived from their spa day in Poland, and I was swapping between the Timeless and those, listening to favorite songs back-to-back to compare the characteristics of each.
Rush's "Limelight" came up in the playlist, and it was the Timeless' turn to go first. After listening to the song hundreds of times over 40+ years, I was able to hear the separation in delay/reverb effects applied to Geddy Lee's vocal track on the song, and hear both his voice and the processed effects as separate "instruments" in the final mix. Switched back to the FIBAE 4, and the auditory effect was still there, but I would never have noticed it in the first place without the Timeless.
So, what would a practiced critical listener describe that phenomenon as, just so I can know when it happens again?
