Hi, the pleasure is mine.
I was always curious does the Timeless 7Hz Planar IEM have a significantly different audio profile to the Fiio FH7 hybrid ones?
Yes, very different!
The interesting part about "endgame" is that if you started with your endgame you probably wouldn't appreciate it as much, as someone that's experienced a lot more IEMs and audio systems. I recommend acquiring a lot of variety of gear, to get appreciation for the finer aspects of the audiophile hobby.
Eventually the choice came down to Airpod Maxes and B&W Px8’s. Finally decided to go for the B&W’s after I saw a very good deal at a local music store. Hoping to have them shipped tomorrow. Hope it was a good move despite being firmly in the Apple ecosystem. Never owned any Apple headphones though, probably mostly because the default ones were so bad for so long. I know the Pro’s are meant to be ok these days but never tried. Been using Beyerdynamic Free Byrds lately and been very happy with the sound quality despite the slightly uncomortable build. My ears are huge but those still stick out like pine cones tbh.
