If you prioritize sound quality and have a preference for a very good soundstage, the 7hz Timeless may be the better choice, but consider that they do not support wireless connectivity, are not sweatproof, and have poor microphone quality, which could affect call clarity. If you are looking for earbuds that are more versatile and suitable for exercise, travel, and offer convenience features like a good active noise cancelling, sweatproof certification, and additional controls through an app, the Beats Fit Pro would be more appropriate, keeping in mind they might not offer the same sound quality as the 7hz Timeless for music. Additionally, Beats Fit Pro are optimized for Apple devices, featuring the H1 chip for improved audio experience, which could be a significant advantage if you use Apple products. 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 Beats Fit Pro is just as easy to use with an Android device as it is with an iPhone. It seems Apple-owned Beats is trying to appeal to a wider market, and it works. The Fit Pro fits like a pro with the ear tip fit test and multiple ear tips. Sound quality is sure to please most athletes, but the Fit Pro is just at home in the office as it is in the gym. The main factor holding the Beats Fit Pro back from gold is the price."
