Itâs a much better set than I3 pro or P1. For rock and Roll and Hip Hop anyway

My experience is that really heavy peq sounds rather wonky.
what do this colors even mean? if this a comparison, then how much difference there is? or is it an individual assessment than means good or bad?.
Green = better
Yellow = similar
Red = worse
Simply a TLDR way of judging if someone doesnt wanna read the review.
I pick mine up tomorrow so Iâll get a good wee session tomorrow afternoon hopefully.
I had the PMV PP, really liked it but wanted more upper mids/treble⊠it was just a touch on the dark side.
Really do prefer single driver sets, or at least the idea of them. Iâm sure companies now have sussed out the crossovers and timbre differences in drivers to make them sound coherent.
Thatâs why I think once bluetooth codecs are up to scratch TWS sets can become absolutely blinding! Multi-Dacs, multi-amps, and dsp designed for multidriver sets without Xovers etc⊠The possibilities are endless.

gotcha, however as 1.01 is always larger than 1 it all depends on your tolerances. Could you please tell me where can I read your review. I cant seem to find it here. sorry
I am working on it.
great! thanks
Sorry, I just need to ventilate a bit
Honestly I donât understand the disregard for EQ around these parts. There is no perfect set, unfortunately, that doesnât benefit, more or less, from EQ.
Again I found the Timeless to take extremely well to EQ as itâs so fast and distortionless, provided you got the juice to drive it.
I boost the midbass 100-200hz by 1,5dB
I also boost the air 22kHz and above by at least 10dB. Just because it can take it.
Together with balanced connection the Timeless becomes hyper articulate and transparency is shot through the roof without sounding thin. Itâs very immersive and large sounding especially with EDM where the music is already compressed. Suddenly I donât mind the shoddy imaging nearly as much.

I am with you 100%, but sometimes is not possible to use eq, or the eq available is just hot garbage (ie. fiio app eq, android system eq, etc or using dsd or mqa if you are into those sort of things). At at 200usd budget there are several well tuned iems with fantastic performance to justify the use of eq to fix a not so well done. Luckily this doesnât seems to be the case for the Timeless.

Yes indeed. EQ is only good when used in moderation on specific setups.

But also the fact that no one can hear above 20khz means whatever information is there was not mixed/mastered properly and is most likely 100% garbage. Asuming you are listening to at least 92khz pcm, boosting any frequencies above the 20k will be just a waste of computing energy of whatever device you are using, but thats just my opinion.

For some reason, boosting those ultra high frequencies DO make a difference if the Q value is ~1.5 and the gain is 15-20dB. Itâs not ambiguous at all, just try it for yourself. The sound becomes super airy and sensitive.
I find itâs very effective. Itâs immediate and obvious.
Just. Try. It.

I guess it doesnt hurt to try. Will do a/b test⊠with eq apo?

I3 is an tribrid with a planar (dd planar ba). Am I mistaking?
It isnât a straight comparison.
How is it crossovers? Each component do what

All owners, no review shills so itâs safe ( there are not enough stocks for that 
)

This can and does contain shills but the majority are chifi enthusiasts and have been for many many years.
Check both of them out for a broad view of the set.

Finally received my set. Unfortunately, itâs one of the bad QA sets
The quality control issue is the casing comes apart. Mine only happens with the left hand side
Waiting to hear back from Shen Zhen Audio to see what theyâll do

Thatâs a bummer. Maybe try putting them back with instant super glue?
