Expert Rankings

The 7HZ Timeless headphones deliver accurate audio, comfort, and good build quality. They lack noise cancelation, onboard EQ controls, and wireless. Overall, they’re among the top in-ear monitors in their price bracket.

Overview

The 7HZ Timeless is a flagship-grade closed-back wired in-ear monitor that was first brought to the market back in mid-2021, and it boasts high-quality 14.2 mm planar magnetic drivers that provide great instrument separation with thumping bass for the audiophile community.

Unlike the highest-ranked headphones in its range, these earphones don’t have any in-line controls. And unlike the most popular wireless earbuds out on the market today, these earphones don’t even have an official app for controls.

If you like to customize your sound settings, then our Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review would be worth a look. Unfortunately, the 7HZ Timeless earphones also lack a microphone to pick up voice calls on the go.

If you need a headset that does come with an inbuilt mic, then make sure to take a look at our Shokz OpenRun review. The 7HZ Timeless also doesn’t have active noise canceling.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The 7HZ Timeless in-ear headphones provide a comfortable fit and are among the best in-ear monitors on the market for sound performance.

Their sound quality leans towards a neutral profile with tight bass response, tuned for audiophiles and musicians who prioritize accurate audio reproduction. They lack active noise cancelation, and some listeners may find high notes overly bright.

Their in-ear design limits the soundstage, resulting in a closed-off perception, but they achieve great clarity for affordable in-ear headphones.

While the build quality is commendable, the bass and imaging performance are not at the same level as some competitors. They’re also missing onboard EQ adjustment and a companion app. Overall, the 7HZ Timeless excels in comfort and natural tonality but needs improvement in terms of soundstage bass quality.

The 7HZ Timeless uses a much higher-quality planar driver on each side, whereas the 7Hz Salnotes Zero in-ear monitors use normal dynamic drivers. As a result, the 7HZ Timeless’ planar magnetic drivers provide better instrument separation and tonality from high-quality music sources and high bit-rate audio. The 7HZ Timeless also has more depth in the mid-range with a wider response range in terms of bass and treble compared to the 7Hz Salnotes Zero IEMs. In addition, the 7HZ Timeless has larger 14.2 mm drivers, while the Salnotes have 10 mm drivers.

While the 7HZ Timeless is an in-ear model, the Sennheiser HD 600s are full-sized over-the-ear headphones. And the Sennheiser HD 600 headphones have an open-back design, which allows them to deliver a significantly wider airy soundstage when put against the 7HZ Timeless IEMs that feature a closed-back design. On the other hand, the 7HZ Timeless earphones have higher-quality planar magnetic drivers compared to the HD 600’s dynamic drivers, which have a much wider bass and treble range. And the 7HZ unit doesn’t suffer from as much audio leakage.

The 1More Triple Driver, as the name suggests, features a hybrid triple-driver design, but the 7HZ Timeless earphones are average single-driver IEMs. Additionally, the 1More Triple Driver earphones weigh just 0.04 lbs, which makes them significantly more comfortable to wear for longer periods compared to the 0.07 lbs 7HZ Timeless IEMs. And the 1More Triple Driver IEMs come with an in-line microphone to seamlessly receive calls on the go, unlike the 7HZ Timeless. On the other hand, the 7HZ Timeless has a much better and more premium overall build quality.
