If budget is a concern, you might lean towards the Razer Kraken V3 as they are priced lower than the 7hz Timeless. For music enthusiasts, the 7hz Timeless earbuds with planar drivers offer a very good sound quality and soundstage, suitable for a more immersive music experience. However, they have poor microphone quality; thus, they are not ideal for calls. In contrast, the Razer Kraken V3 headphones are noted for good microphone quality, making them a better option for gaming and calls, and they feature a virtual surround sound that enhances the experience for movies and games. The 7hz Timeless lacks wireless capability and active noise cancelling, which could be a downside for travel and exercise, while the Razer Kraken V3, despite being wireless, might be bulkier to carry around. Neither is optimized for sports use due to lacking sweatproof certification, but the Razer's over-ear form can be more comfortable for extended periods. Both options have their merits, so your choice should reflect whether you prioritize sound quality for music, versatility for gaming and calls, or cost. 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."

"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
