Just curious, what was the question?
Excellent short round-up. I can see 99% get even more optimistic about them (though with the full review yet to come). Being in the other 1% I will take the Timeless off my shortlist though because of the bass boost as described when he touched on female vocals accompanied by acoustic instruments. This is what I feared for and since I listen to lot of acoustic recordings thatâs a big No.

@drftr I need to watch it. My favorite artist, Ani DiFranco is amazing on them. As a rule, I wonât keep a headphone which I donât enjoy Ani. So I want to understand this.
I might be overplaying the bass boost in those situations. Itâs all relative and a matter of personal tastes and so on, of course, but I will say I still very much enjoy female vocals with acoustics. Itâs just that, when compared to something like the MEST (which nothing Iâve tried beats), then yes the Timeless isnât as fun.
But I still think theyâre great on everything 
Not the best at everything, but great.
Letâs see what the demo sounds like I suppose!

What are your thoughts on timeless vs mangird tea?
About stage and imaging. My set got delayed so will take some more days for my first impressions.

I still found staging to be lacking and a bit odd. I listen to a lot of music that requires good â3dâ soundstage/imaging. I know the IE300 isnât top tier for soundstage/imaging but after hearing what it can do it blows all of my Shureâs and the Timeless out of the water.
That and Iâm off chifi, QC issues, fit issues, variation issues. Big one for the timeless for me is the MMCX connectors (not cable) being loose to rocking on some reports, still seem to work, but for how much longer, not a good sign
The Timeless has gone! (& Shureâs)
P.s. Lovely cable though.

Since I donât like any kind of bass boost at all I think your subtle description will only be picked up by me and make others even happier. For now anything sub $1,000 is open for me so I see your remarks as enormous compliments for them, but for now Iâm holding off, hoping I can find something that comes closer to my preference. If not then itâs 7Hz all the way, as Iâm sure thereâs many aspects Iâd absolutely enjoy.

What a tough one! I prefer the Timeless at this time, but the tuning is so different. Timeless is a great warm set, while the Tea is a great neutral/bright. Still, I prefer how the Timeless does its thing more than I like how the Tea does its thing.
I miss the fullness of the Timeless when I try brighter gear. Thatâs how well the Timeless executes what it does. Demo coming within the week! Probably

Yea I am NOT a fan of MMCX connections personally. I just donât like how the cable can rotate in the port. Bad design to allow the rotation IMO. Maybe some people like that, since it allows the wire to be turned according to head shape I suppose, but itâs not for me.
I hope the connection doesnât become loose over time though. Thatâs pretty bad 
I had to send my Clairvoyance back for a loose connection - though it was a 2-pin. Itâs a real bummer to take the IEM out of its case one day only to have one of the buds fall on the floor when unwinding the cable. 
Talk about heart dropping.

Yeah never had a problem with MMCX before, letâs hope your setâs a good one!
Thatâs unlucky regarding your Clairâs I feel for you!

This is a superb description.
Sadly, the right unit stopped functioning correctly due to the connector. And I am in the return/replace process.
I am timelessless. 
hopefully I was just unlucky.
Enjoy it!

Since itâs a Chinese brand they may have scr#wed up their English and instead of Timeless meant to say LessTime. Letâs hope not!
