About this deal

Timeless is a full planar magnetic IEM which houses a 14.2 mm planar magnetic driver which have a double sided array of N52 magnets and a 2mm ultra thin diaphragm. These have an impendence of 14.8 ohms and sensitivity of 104db. The frequency response is from 5Hz to 40kHz.

You might be surprised to know that the Timeless is easy to drive: even a smartphone will do a pretty good job with it. But this IEM responds well to some extra power and a better source, so don’t be afraid to feed it with a good DAC or amp and bump up the volume a bit.

The Moondrop Kato is another competitive offering in the same price range as the Timeless and, from what I have heard from others, Kato is a better, well-rounded offering. While I wouldn't be going for the Kato (nothing new from the entry level offerings I have), it is something that you should consider before going for the Timeless. LETSHUOER also dabbles in cables and sources, such as the M5 and DT02, respectively. Technical Specifications

The staging on the other hand is mixed - the width is decent, but the depth is stictly below average. I wasn't able to appreciate layering in music. The bass pressure further congests the stage to a noticeable extent and separation suffers. So I can recommend Timeless strictly for casual listening only. Timeless excels in technicalities effortlessly. The presentation is quite open and airy. Stage has nice width, with very good depth and acceptable height. It’s most evidently not an intimate sounding iem, the expanse of stage feels very naturally spacious. The mid range of the Timeless is neatly done. They are not on the face type rather they are positioned at a very good spot for comfortable listening. The energy and the engaging factor is nicely present and those vocals have that natural and smoother tonality which is very pleasing. The timbre of the instruments are near to realistic and no metallic taste is found.

These planars were relegated to brief footnotes on audio forums and didn’t gain much mainstream traction. That is, until the 7Hz Timeless arrived, heralding the era of the planar IEM hype train. At the rear side of the monitor is an angled sound nozzle with a stylish looking metal mesh on the top, which is on the front to a filter that prevents the insertion of particles such like dust or earwax.

IEMs with planar drivers handling the bass frequencies generally have rapid bass transients but do not move air or decay as much as traditional DD drivers, which is the case with the S12 Pro. Technical ability of this set is pretty crazy, imaging is very much 3d and the "stage" is very large. There's just a lot of space between instruments.While there are no protruding or awkward edges, the S12 Pro’s nozzles are pretty short. Thus, those with bigger ears may encounter the shell pressing on the concha, leading to slight discomfort, especially when it comes to longer listening sessions. YMMV. Internals Customers have to bear any form of custom/import/processing fees that are applicable for your parcel. However, the fit is a little out of the ordinary. There is a huge circular disk acting as a faceplate, giving the IEM an iconic look. It’s good to note that the disk is only on the exterior and doesn’t touch the ear, hence I didn’t have any discomfort, though YMMV. The nozzle isn’t too long, but the stiffer and slightly longer nozzle on the AZLA SednaEarfit tips helped give a tight seal. Overall the highs are well open in nature with above average detail retrieval and separation combined with that natural tonality and timbre. It's non fatiguing for a longer listening period while bringing out that nice shimmer on the top. The 7Hz Timeless has a light V-shaped but still, fairly balanced sound signature. Bass and treble are moderately boosted with the midrange just a touch recessed. It has a pleasing tonal balance where the amount of bass and treble feels about right.
