I honestly didnât spend that much time evaluating them. I like EQ on the timeless more than most headphones. At the very least, it doesnât leave me feeling gyped. But did I think xbass or xspace was special? Not really. And this is also true of the micro signature for me (never heard that with timeless though).
Did they do something to the sound? Yes, yes they did. Did I care about it? not really. In either direction. Didnât love it. Didnât hate it. It worked. I didnât feel like any music needed either of them, particularly on the timeless (if anything I would reduce the bass for some stuff on timeless. Looking at pentatonix). And the presence was really only felt on a very small subset of music (and I canât think of what it was, as I was deflated enough to not bother with notes, knowing the go blu wasnât of interest to me)
Did a bit of channel matching by ear and I have to say now that they âmatchâ the right channel doesnât sound flat like it did before. The stage also feels a bit larger with the imaging being a bit more 3d.
Based on Rikudou_Gokuâs review of the P1 Plus with EQ being better than the Timeless I got the P1 Plus and tried it out with EQ. Even with heavy EQ the P1 Plus didnât get anyway near the bass authority and the immersive character of the Timeless, not by a long shot, for me anyway.
Out of a few test tracks this track made it very clear to me that the Timeless is in another category (the way it takes you along after the drop is what I want in a genre like this):
Hello, do you reckon Hidizs DH80s would be sufficient/good pair with the Timeless? I am in a search of portable battery powered DAC/AMP to use primarily with an Android phone/Tidal. Thnx.
After messing with EQ a bunch and wanting to make the treble more forward with a high shelf filter and encountering exascerbated sibilance, I settled on this.
Linsoul finally shipped my Timeless which i ordered at 10.11. Hopefully there wonât be any surprises like third stealth revision with etymotic filters and Azla tips.
