šŸ”¶ 7HZ Timeless Planar

Could work with micropore, maybe with bit lesser boost as a result.
Though dont have such thing at my disposal to compare. Should order some.
Do you know any good one on aliexpress?

Just search micropore on AE, several sellers turn up. Iā€™d get the 3M brand.

On your earlier comment about too much bass at timesā€¦could that just be midbass bleed? I EQ 150hz -3dB Q1.414

Its more related to some tracks i have that are poorly recorded and have some bass bloat. Less bass gives them more clarity. But then its great in other tracks, so basically it comes to what im ready to sacrifice. At times i use -1 to -2db from 60-250Hz, starting with -2 and ending with -1db or -0.5 at 250Hz.

No problem putting them in the ears with micropore. Iā€™m using the stock yellow white tip. Bass appears to have gone up but this needs to be measured.

Good to know.
Will do the measurement, but it wont be anytime soon. Maybe if i find that tape locally could do it sooner rather than later.

Yup, but thats the hole being covered with sticky tape so absolutely no air is comming out from there, which is unuseable as youll have trouble putting them in your ear due to pressure buildup.
Though it will work with micropore tape as @Musicoflife confirmed, but i assume that with that type of tape the boost will be bit less. Im yet to test the difference in boost.

Do you think the Timeless is bass-light ?

Nope, just playing around and measuring things. Info might come in handy for someone.
With those tests all parties are covered. If you think its bass light cover the nozzle hole with micropore, if you think its too much cover the tripple vents with sticky tape, or maybe even with micropore tape too as i assume the reduction in bass with micropore over those 3 holes would be bit less.

Tripple vents? How is the isolation on Timeless?

Just asked the Missus and she said she canā€™t hear it when Iā€™m using themā€¦bear in mind the vents face inward :+1:

Errrrrā€¦ I meant isolation from the outside noise. :slight_smile:

As good as most IEMā€™s ie the vents make no difference to outside noise.

SpinFits reduce the soundstage, foam tips increase the soundstage on the Timeless.

I made my decision and the timeless is now foam tips only for me.

I had suspicions but now proof. Timeless got a stealth revision and you can see it on tips. Waiting for a graph atm.

Ive seen here someone, cant recall who, measuring the nozzle diameter and his caliper was showing 6.1mm while on mine its 6.25mm(widest part) and 5.35mm narower part. I even specifically because of this tested my caliper on calibration plates and its erroring Ā±0.03 which is within spec. So unless that other persons caliper is off, then the nozzle diameter has been changed too.
