Just watched Resolve's latest livestream. He tested a bunch of sets and one of them was Timeless 2, and if he's correct this might be this year's biggest flop. He called it awful, terrible, treble madness. Way too much treble on all three nozzles.
The only one he liked was Orchestra Lite. The rest were too bright, too much lower treble: Hype 2, Quintet, EM6L. (Hype 2 had too much v-shape also.)
He made the disclaimer that he's sensitive to treble though. All people's ear canals are shaped differently and the frequency response looks different when it reaches the eardrum. So he stated that other people may prefer the ones that he thought were too bright.
But the Timeless 2 seemed way more sibilant that the others. Will be very interesting to see more reviews of these!

7hz sending Resolve another unit just to make sure it wasn't a lemon sample... the graph's looked like DT990 levels of sibilance though, or a completely disjointed ear gain no matter who you are depending on which tuning nozzle was used.
What a beast. So much sound balance to play with. But important is that you can go from near neutral to all-in 18db bass boost basshead pleasure. Sound value is certainly pushed further with those switch.
Pros:
-good balance from basshead to near neutral
-very good bass performance for BA woofers
-fast dynamic big slam
-bass line and kick drum have singular dynamic
-very cohesive tuning balance tone and timbre wise
-natural timbre
-beautifull lush full bodied male and female vocal
-safe fatigue free tuning (unless plain basshead mode)
-good layering and macro dynamic
-good note weight
-plenty of lower mids
-incredibly versatile due to tuning switch
-small comfortable housing
-generous accessories
-good cable

According to 7hz who said my Sonus 3db of channel imbalance was within normal tolerance and they test every set! Yeah sure there is something wrong with his set
Here is hoping that is the case afterall it's been years to get it correct.
Never listened to the S8, but I've always felt they are a very technical set.
The lack of the dynamic driver will probably affect the sound compared to the B3.
