Timeless has quite bad depth to the soundstage. Soundstage width is very good, but it is literally one plane in terms of good width only.

Anyways, this year is very competitive with regards to Planar releases, so I guess there are many options lying about for Planar lovers, with the Raptgo, S12, Tin P1 Max, Timeless and now this new 7Hz planar.

i'll agree on the depth. width is excellent, but yeah. it's doesn't have the most depth, but i think overall it's an excellent IEM that kicks ass for the price.

7Hz is releasing a new 14.2mm planar soon.

Called the DIOKO

Just my opinion (YMMV), but I found the Timeless overrated, it had a very narrow 2D soundstage and bad timbre, with treble peaks. Hope this one is better in the planar wars.

Looks like the Timeless wasn't so timeless, especially when the S12 gave the Timeless a run for it's money like 3 months after the Timeless was deemed king of planar IEMs courtesy of there being literally no competition because most previous planar sets were tuned like ass.

The last color scheme reminds me a bit of the Audio Lokahi.

Will consider this one because I still don't have a planar in my IEM collection. Also, kudos to 7hz for switching to 2-pin and using the most basic 2-pin connector type.

They claim to have a new in-house planar driver with a new diaphragm. I think their track record warrants giving this new one a long, close look.

So curious to taste an open-back IEM, I bought these TRN TA1 Max. Their on the way!

I had the Timeless for a while. I found it had a good dark background, in a good way, and instruments popped up from all over a great arc in the stage. Perhaps a lack of depth, but still a good sense of space and width. I thought vocals, particularly jazz vocals were very rich and smooth and effortless. I did prefer the S12 a little but there are a lot positives to the Timeless.

Actually im about to post the mod Timeless, some said they have narrow soundstage, some said they have bad imaging, some said narrow depth, some said they have blunted or called it by "planar characteristic" but they need to be revealed. The truth is the 7hz using 3 layers of damper thus ruining their own great drivers. I got mine modded, they are no longer "blunted" they sounded like very well controlled BA with great timbre, think of Sony's IER series BAs, and day and night tight punchy Bass, and amazing details that straight to TOTL details, still no harshness there. Soundstage is wide and imaging is precise with note : too bad modding this wont help with soundstage depth, they have precise imaging to the left and right, but minimal depth. I'll post and explain all later on 7hz thread.

So it's only 1-d. That's even worse.
At least Raptgo isn't.

I would think it is another single driver so no need to open it up. If it don't make sound guess the drivers are just there for show.

Nice looking though. Guess S is better than D so these are above the EDX?? But is ESX still less than EDX Ultra? Maybe ESX is as good as EDX Pro but not EDX Ultra. Then ESX Pro will be equal to EDX Ultra. Then ESX ultra will beee...
