The 7hz Timeless earbuds offer excellent music quality with a high score in sound quality and music performance, making them superb for music enthusiasts. However, they are less suitable for calls and meetings, and exercise. Beyerdynamic 770 Pro headphones excel in overall sound quality and comfort, are great for TV and video, and present a more balanced choice for various uses like gaming and air travel, albeit with slightly less music quality than the 7hz Timeless. The 7hz Timeless are more portable but have less noise isolation than the Beyerdynamic, which come with a long, non-detachable cable, while the earbuds feature a detachable one. Choose the 7hz Timeless for a focus on music quality and portability, or the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro for a comfortable, all-rounder experience with a slight edge in noise isolation and diverse media consumption.

How the 7hz Timeless and the Beyerdynamic 770 Pro (80 ohm) compare to other earbuds and headphones
"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."
"Altogether, when you consider its accessible price tag, the performance, the build, and its outstanding comfort, I think that the DT770 Pro is fantastic option for anyone looking for a closed-back headphone in the sub-$1,000 range, and I can confidently give it a strong recommendation."
