Choosing between the 7hz Timeless earbuds and the Koss KSC75 headphones depends on what you value most. The 7hz Timeless comes at a premium price, offering superior overall sound quality and build quality, better soundstage, and music listening experience. They're more suitable if you're seeking a high-fidelity audio experience. However, they're larger, have a closed-back design leading to better noise isolation but less natural sound than open-back headphones. On the other hand, the Koss KSC75 is much more affordable with good sound quality and a comfortable clip-on open-back design, resulting in a more natural sound but less noise isolation, and is lighter which can be beneficial for extended wear. Neither option has a microphone or active noise cancelling, and both require a wired connection. Consider the 7hz Timeless if audio quality is paramount and your budget allows, or the Koss KSC75 if you're looking for affordability and a lighter, more natural listening experience. 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."

"Let’s not insult the KSC75 by saying that it’s simply good for the price… because it’s far more than that. It basically has a monopoly at its asking price, and could still give modern budget headphones a run for their money 15 years after its release. The KSC75 is the world’s best not-headphone."
