šŸ”¶ 7HZ Timeless Planar

Wich cable should I buy for the Timeless on 11.11?
$50 Budget.

I don’t know if my unit will arrive before 11.11… but do you still recommend to buy tips for it even if I didn’t try the ones that comes with it? If so… wich ones?

I would like to have my Timeless with upgraded cable and tips for better comfort, fit and sound if possible.

Thanks!

I use the NiceHCK C8 cable. Kbear 8 core might also be good if you like pure copper. Foam tips work the best for me on my Timeless, so I would order some T2 tips from Aliexpress.

I don’t have one, but I am thinking of getting a xinhs 4-core graphene on 11.11
People rave about them.
They are sold on Aliexpress, and the ā€œRecommend IEM Cablesā€ thread is probably 40% xinhs cables.

Those are 30% less right now… Should I wait for a better discount?

Many great reviews as far as I can see. I don’t know how well will it pair with the Timeless but I don’t think is a bad choice at all.

Nice looks too…

They’re also on my list… :+1:

The four other cables I have from them are all really, really nice quality and
two of them are some of the cheapest they offer (bought for cheaper sets in the collection)… :wink:

I was thinking that depending on the prices, I might do a round of XINHS cables, one for each connector, since the MMCX of the Timeless will get me to regular sets with all three common types getting listening time.

The KZ ZEX got me thinking about QDC again, and I have a few 2 pin ( Mele, Aria, SSP ).

I have a Tripowin Altea 4 Core Monocrystalline Copper that I like for sound, weight, and looks, but it is very stiff, and pricey at $40 ( Amazon ), so I probably won’t do another.

My go to is the Tripowin Zonie 16 Core Silver Plated, the grey is $20 ( Amazon ), and they are very flexible, tough, and coil nicely. I have they grey, and the jelly ( silver and gold ) was the Mele’s upgraded cable as well ( it meant getting a $30 for $20 ).

4-core graphene is my favorite cable. You can’t go wrong. For Timeless i’d ask for black hardware tho.

Noob question: does copper and silver sound different? What’s the benefit of more or less cores?

I’ve also seen some others with different metals and fusions… even gold. Is it even better?

I wonder if upgrading to XInhs cables is worth it. My cheap copper only cables are good enough for me and I dont see the point of spending that much. Especially since I buy cables for many IEMs.

@nymz what is ā€œblack hardware?ā€

PD: amazing look and photo

Short answer, no. Pick one you like.

That question might bring up some drama, lets just avoid it.

See the two pins, conector and splitter? They black.

This is gold.

Silver.

Grey.

Oh I see. But I don’t mind the looks of the 4-core graphene (kind of grey), I think it will look great on the Timeless.

Amazing photos!

I guess I know why you don’t want to bring that topic to the table (cables = snake oil… hahaha) If sound doesn’t change that much or even nothing at all I don’t care, but at least comfort and quality must be good. I think that the Xinhs 4-core graphene has that without destroying my wallet.

Keep in mind mine is grey, I asked for it, but 4 core stock comes with silver connectors!

Sorry @nymz … How can I change the color of the conector, splitter and pins? I don’t see any options on AliExpress besides types of connector and plugs. Do I have to contact the store (Xinhs)?

Yes, you have to contact him directly. Keep in mind timezones, tho.

His english is simple but fine, works better with pics :slight_smile:

Well, my english isn’t good either hahaha.

Thanks @nymz and everyone for the recommendations. I’ll grab the Xinhs 4-core graphene :slight_smile:

PD: Daft Punk :heart:
I can’t wait to try Face to Face on the Timeless.
