If you prioritize high-quality sound and plan to use your audio gear mainly for listening to music at home or in environments where you don't need noise cancellation, then the 7hz Timeless earbuds are a premium choice with superior sound and build quality. However, they do not offer wireless connectivity, which might limit your mobility. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more affordable, portable, and versatile for everyday use, including exercise and casual listening, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds are wireless, have a longer battery life, are sweatproof, and for calls or meetings they provide good enough performance. The Raycon earbuds also offer the convenience of wireless charging, making them a practical choice for on-the-go use. 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."
"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
