The 7hz Timeless earbuds offer superior music listening with a planar driver, providing a richer and more detailed sound compared to the dynamic drivers of the AKG K361 headphones. However, the AKGs are more suitable for longer listening sessions as they are more comfortable and have a foldable design for better portability. Neither option is wireless, but the portability and comfort of the AKG may be more appealing for travel, while the Timeless earbuds provide a more immersive music experience at a higher cost. Neither are sweat or dustproof, and they share similar durability, so for active use, you may want to consider other options. 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 K361 retains much of what makes the K371 such a winner, though it has a leaner sound, and the build changes made to trim the price down are immediately apparent. Still, it’s another excellent offering from AKG, and other companies in this fight should either be very worried or quickly designing updates to their old models."
