If you prioritize sound quality for music and have a higher budget, the 7hz Timeless might be your choice, as they offer very good overall sound with an emphasis on balanced audio, particularly when paired with specialized cables. However, they lack wireless functionality and have a larger earbud size, which can affect comfort and portability, and they have lower scores for calls and meetings. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more affordable, wireless option with excellent durability and very good battery life, and if you plan to use them often for exercise or travel, the JLab Go Air Pop could be a better fit despite their fair sound quality. They are also more portable with a small earbud size, and they're sweatproof, but they might not be the best for immersive listening experiences. Give Feedback

"7Hz picked a bold name for the Timeless and frankly, got very close to justifying their word choice. Most importantly, the Timeless are good to go in stock form, so you don’t have to worry about source-matching and such. I can recommend the 7Hz Timeless to those who do not mind a dash of brightness up top, want a taste of planar in IEM form, and want one of the most resolving pair of earphones in the $150 - $300 price range."

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
