It’s not even the same category.
I think you’ll love it 
Do eeeet!
Sorry, I’ve never heard any of those 
Oh sweet Timmy. Expected, as he already loved OG Yume. I’ll check the video

I find that video very inconsistent lol, massive praise (aka shill) at the start, halfway when talking about technicalities you’ll notice he starts shying away from saying it’s the best, that other IEMs can outperform it quite easily 
Don’t forget he’s also running a KZ CRN giveaway in that vid

Maybe it’s because the timeless is already superior to all of those, so it’s not really interesting to compare the S12 to them. Of those you mentioned, I only owned the B2, which I found pretty boring. Once I got the timeless, I sold the B2. Disclaimer: Tastes differ.

My main takeaway is that the Midnight has excellent tonality. All the other aspects - treble extension, resolution, and other “technicalities” - have been improved since Yume, but it doesn’t mean the Midnight’s technicalities will beat highly-resolving IEMs in the <200 USD bracket.
My question is: How does a hybrid sound so natural that he is recommending the set for orchestral and acoustical music over single DD??

Well some hibrids just do it well enough, coming close to DDs.
Hint: Check this thread’s name

Haha you’re in dangerous territory by saying the Timeless is superior to all of these single DDs 
YMMV, but the general consensus is that DD sound is rather different to planar sound. I am getting the S12 in the coming weeks and will compare against the Oxygen, but I highly doubt S12 will be outright superior.

I see your point - I had to really listen to discern differences between my Oxygen and Aladdin. But since I detected the differences, I don’t think I can go back haha.
I’m intrigued hahahaha, let us know your thoughts: planar IEM vs single DD IEM death match.
Timmy’s video, I didn’t take it as he’s shilling, but he was already the biggest fanboy of the original Yume back then on YT, so judgment might be slightly biased already

Then you’re a timbrehead, and only DDs will be good enough for you. That’s also a good thing seeing you don’t need to spend as much as other set with 129831032 drivers.
Timbre and Coherency is something a single DD will never be beaten. It’s too natural for us.
Speaking of single DDs, time to grab some photos of my new set

Haha timbrehead is a funny term. I should clarify that I don’t necessarily prefer the Oxygen over the Aladdin - I just have an eclectic taste in music, and I need to swap between the two for maximum enjoyment 
Jazz, orchestra, film scores → Oxygen. Vocals, pop, general listening → Aladdin. Let’s see where the S12 will fit in!

Niiceee. I have a minor suggestion: could you add info on ANC for the TWS sets on your list? You have (TWS), and maybe you could do (TWS + ANC).

I will do a long review of TWS this weekend, don’t worry

Sony EX800ST? Curious about the fit - looks really weird lol. More like a Transformer than an IEM

The timeless is outright superior in subjective terms… according to my personal preferences. It delivers more detail and air than any IEM I have ever heared and that just happens to be exactly what I am looking for. It is not perfect though.
Looking forward to your impressions!
