Basically all IEM cables are 120-130cm, itâs a standard. Very difficult to get a cable in any other length unless you get one custom made. Itâs not like overears where thereâs a much broader range of cable length. If you think youâll ever want to get another IEM consider an extension, as youâd be able to use that for anything else.
An extension for your desk also means easy disconnection and youâd be left with a reasonable length cable for portable use. This really isnât an IEM you want to frequently swap cables on, MMCX is inherently fragile as an interface and with the Timeless itâs even more difficult than usual to get them off, they are extremely stiffly attached and because of the shell itâs hard to get a MMCX Assist tool in there. Plus, some people have reported issues with their shells coming apart from removing the cables- so probably best idea to pick a cable and leave it attached permanently than be swapping all the time.
Itâs a particularly good stock cable, incidentally, it feels good, looks good, isnât microphonic, wraps well, doesnât tangle, itâs probably the best stock cable Iâve ever got with an IEM.
Timeless sounds much more detailed. Buds Pro more congested.
Timeless sounds like it has more subbass emphasis but it keeps doesnât sound remotely boomy. Buds Pro is not bad on this but the bass leaks more into the mids. Timeless keeps it separated better.
Buds Pro sound more forward in the mids, Timleless sounds a bit more recessed.
Timeless to me sounds like it has more treble, although Buds Pro seems to in the graphs. (Edit: looking again, I guess it depends where you align them). Timeless seems to have this treble presence without it being remotely offensive, I have some other stuff (anything from KZ, TFZ No 3) where the treble is sharp or piercing. Timeless the treble is very present, but not too much. Iâd have the same feeling about the Ananda, it sounds bright to me but the brightness is not remotely piercing or harsh.
Timeless sounds more natural, more right.
Overall, to me Timeless is a lot better, itâs not close. The Buds Pro sound great for TWS though, I think they are at least competitive with the likes of the Moondrop Starfield/Aria level. The Timeless is a distinct step up though, itâs closer to the likes of the Blessing 2 Dusk.
That would be interesting, if there really were a difference in B2 vs B2 Dusk. I read that some people are complaining about incoherency⊠maybe that is what you experiencing?
My B2 may as well has incoherency issues, but in that case I simply donât hear it.
I have 0 experience with mmcx as well so I wouldnt know, again havent had wired iems for years except bin tier 19usd gas station pioneer iems and I really hate them but needed something in a pinch. and none of my previous wired iems had detachable wires at all. so that is very helpful info for me. much appreciated.
I did land on having a custom cable with 4.4 male to female terminations made, finding anything ready made 4.4 extention is just about impossible as they were either hundreds of dollars or didnt ship to me. either way the custom cable should be way nicer than those were anyway and didnt cost a fortune so hope that pans out.
Extention cable is def the way to go as you say it gives me option of having multiple iems plug in and keep the portability of a short cable.
Massive bonus then as I didnt know mmcx were a bit unreasonable to deal with and the stock cable is super nice Ill just leave it in. cheers
Yes 4 and i have expand them but still the same problem is a QC problem i got it loose from the beginning and now it getting looser . There is no other solution i need to find a new connector . thnx god itâs not a resin shell so there is hope
Yes i have 3 mmcx cables always the same problem
I think the problem is in this thing its a bit deeper then the other side so the shaft canât touch it well
Mine isnât quite that bad, left side connects easier and seems secure but also spins freely while right spins with some resistance and is also more difficult to plug in or unplug. So I guess either the male pole at the center is bent a little or the female side hole is not a perfect circle. But it works so Iâm fine with it for now.
I did contact HifiGo and sent a video saying I want a replacement cable but 1. I donât know if it would fix it because while itâs the cable thatâs at fault, what are the chances I get another and itâs the same issue and 2. I donât want to pay for express shipping to fix what I didnât break.
Iâd try a different cable by the housing on my fh3 cable is too wide due to the faceplate on Timeless.
It is 100% the cable tho. Because if I reverse the channels the left side gets resistance and right spins
Definitely. Itâs just so prominent once I heard something that doesnât have it. But I do think itâs a combination of BA presentation, coherency and driver capability compared to these single drivers.
In my case its female side hole is not a perfect circle and a bit deep . If it works u donât need to bother ur self . Mine some time stop working when i move the cable to certain degrees
âŠdoes the Timelessâs male connector have this adjustable washer on it?
i will try my best to save my child
