If you prioritize exceptional music listening with superior sound quality and soundstage, the 7hz Timeless may be worth the higher cost despite not having a built-in microphone. However, for versatile use including calls, meetings, and gaming, the Rode NTH-100M offers better call quality and microphone performance. The Rode is also better for long listening sessions due to higher comfort scores, and while it's less portable due to its size, it excels in noise isolation just like the 7hz Timeless. Neither have wireless capabilities, so keep that in mind if freedom from cables is important to you. 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."
