For Timeless fans, there's a "AE" version incoming. Ie a "Pro" version of the IEM that arguably kickstarted the entire planar hype of this year.

What's different from the original Timeless in terms of tuning?

Apparently comes with a modular cable (2.5/3.5/4.4 mm connector) and a different colour too. LOL smells like what Shuoer did with the S12 Pro!

It is their modus operandi.
1) Release IEMs on an almost weekly basis.
2) Call the new model "Pro" or "Ultra" or "X".
3) New model is generally a marginal upgrade or sidegrade.
4) Consumers be the guinea pig beta testers to garner feedback.
5) Rinse and repeat.

End-goal: Throw as much stuff on the wall and something will finally stick.


As for sub-brands, I guess in case one brand gets lots of stick for bad QC fails or failed tuning, you can easily close that brand, a new fly-by-night one mushrooms out next week to continue operations.

Another thing, it'd be almost impossible to follow up if there were so many IEMs under one brand.

I hope the trend of adding a lil bit bass+ modular cable and calling it pro goes away soon.

EDIT: evidently an older set. My mistake.

Out of the blue it comes. Another planar driver set:

PMV PP Flagship 14.2mm Planar Diaphragm In-ear Earphone with Detachable 0.78mm-2Pin OCC Cable, Aluminium Alloy Shell for Audiophe

I think it came out around the same time as Timeless and was completely overshadowed

Huh. Interesting. Hadn’t come across it before I guess.

Letshuor S12 is not as overshadowed, but it's probably also inferior to the Timeless.

Who will win the battle?

Does it matter if both are mediocre? (j/k, I have heard neither)

 

[FreeWheelinAudioLuv2]

It's a common issues that plagues most of their entry level daps. They replaced my unit though.

Your location made that possible. Oh they would have replaced both of mine, but at $50.00 a piece plus shipping. $100 is more than the R2 is worth new.

 

[LunarLight]

Huh. Interesting. Hadn’t come across it before I guess.

Tried Pmv PP and yes Timeless is far better and i sold both of them soon after, i almost can't get right fit with PP and the female vocal made me uncomfortable and the high TING sounds from a triangle maybe is so piercing and fatiguing.

Right! That’s so true. The KZ has way better tuning than the TRN ST5. But I actually haven’t heard the Centibel yet? It’s that they are priced near the same amount, and came out at the same time. Also obviously they are approaching music with 2 different methodologies.

I know I have said this a couple time, but boy I admire how you can keep being enthusiastic about IEMs in this price bracket. I would wait for your impressions, particularly the new KZ. I think they have improved the tuning.

Is th LZ A4 Pro at $129 a good deal? That's what we are looking at with the NiceHCK Lucky Bag reveal on 11.11.
