Reply to comment by flitcroft in 7Hz Timeless AE Review: A Year of Difference? by Fc-Construct

perhaps there's a bias if you got it before the original timeless. op's review has a comparison between the two and he prefers the OG timeless more. man. this fucking hobby istg. i feel like the only thing i'm paying for is the upgraded cable (and maybe the waifu stand). here's some perspective. i can either a.) buy the og timeless + chu (for the spring tips) or b.) buy the timeless ae. option b is still more expensive and i can swap the chu for a cheaper dongle dac (like the moondrop click although idk how good that is). the price difference is really what makes this a difficult choice.

I bought mine on Amazon, which has a 30-day return policy if that helps you at all. I've listened on both iPhone with Apple dongle and my desktop system and I can't see anyone would want to attenuate the bass. The V-shaped sound, from rumbling sub-bass to intricate detail in the highs, is what makes them so amazing.

I don't love the stock tips, so I replaced mine with COMPLY Isolation TX-400 Memory Foam Tips, also available on Amazon. These IEMs are far from the most comfortable I own, but they're fine.

And when you say bias, I think you mean subjective and absolutely -- I probably have different preferences than OP. I'm sure both IEMs are fantastic and these take EQ reasonably well if that's an option for you.
