The 7hz Timeless earbuds excel in overall sound quality, particularly for music listening, but they lack a microphone for calls and do not support wireless connectivity, which limits their convenience and may not be optimal for calls, meetings, or exercise. They're suitable for an immersive music experience and have a detachable cable, but are not as portable as the AirPods Pro 2. On the other hand, the Apple AirPods Pro 2 provide a well-rounded experience with active noise cancelling, wireless functionality with a low latency mode, and they are optimized for use with Apple devices. They also offer better portability, an integrated microphone for clear calls, and user-friendly features such as ear detection, making them versatile for daily use across various activities including exercise, calls, and travel.

"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."

"Apple's upgraded H2 chip begets better active noise canceling (ANC) and battery life, while the case's U1 chip and integrated speaker lets you precisely locate it from the Find My app. If you own an iPhone, the new AirPods Pro is an obvious choice."
