Too late, I paid for it already (quite a while back, it sure is taking its time to get shipped). I could still cancel but I wanna try it out anyway.
I would cancel, I wouldnt pay for it myself....

This bad despite the decent tonality? Maybe you just didn't burn them in long enough... :wink:

The tech (soundstage dept/imaging) is unsalvageable. Everything except electronic music in my library just didnt sound good.

I dont have high requirements for imaging (and soundstage depth), but when it is being beaten badly by the blon 03 (mesh mod) that is literally 10x cheaper....yeah I cant rec it.

Ouch… I had high hopes for this one… I guess this is not the planar we are looking for… move along…

Oh! I know the issue. You didn't wear the 3D glasses....

Maybe in another 2 years, we will get something good?

This just feels like they took 1 step forward and 1 step back from the P1 (trading tech for tonality, although I guess you can say they went more backwards since you can fix tonality with EQ but not the tech)......

Well, I'll see for myself when it arrives. I don't care too much for the "stage" aspect of sound as most of what I listen to is rather dense and busy. I just hope it'll be a step up over the P1 and BL-1, none of which I like, so I've got at least a semi-decent planar with no peak fest and enough bass.

In tonality and timbre, yes. Hell no in tech.

(with EQ on the P1, it murders the Timeless in all aspects though...)

7Hz Timeless: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/7hertz-timeless.25394/reviews#review-26893

Rank: B


Probably the first planar iem with good tonality, but oh boy is it butchered by the almost zero depth stage and a result, horrible imaging.

Skip it unless you are rich (although you would have better options to get in that case) or if you really want a planar iem without using EQ (if you can use EQ, the Tin P1 is better, or if you are ok with just it having a planar, the tribrid Tri I3 Pro will be leagues better).
Apparently the dynamics are downright bad too. I shudder to think of listening to a planar IEM with bad dynamics...

Same, they are taking forever to get shipped and with all the good and bad things that are being said of the timeless I just can't wait to try them myself lol

Well my see audio bravery review is up https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/see-audio-bravery.25333/reviews
Highly recommended if you like musicality over everything else but if get it only if you get a good deal on it, for 279$ it seems abit too much.
Now for the cable wew its really good and surprisingly wonderful pairing with some other iems i have like Penon FAN , shozy pola, kanas pro, Earsonics grace etc and it feels really nicely made too (PS- its not great as the stock cable of pola or Grace but better than the grace stock cable in terms of build quality)

BGVP DN3 also review is up, liked it for the price but felt little sibliant in vocals and hence coudl not use it for more than 3-4 songs, otherwise if they can refine this tuning, its gonna be great
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/bgvp-dn3.25350/reviews#review-26863

AKOUSTIYX iems are up next and tbh they do what they are advertised to so I cant decide on a score haha !!!!
