The 7hz Timeless earbuds have a planar driver, which may offer a distinctive sound quality that audiophiles often appreciate, with excellent music reproduction. However, they lack a microphone, wireless capabilities, and active noise cancelling. If you prioritize sound when listening to music and don't need wireless connectivity or a mic, go for the Timeless. If you're looking for versatility, comfort, and features like noise cancellation for travel, the Momentum 4 might be the better choice. 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."
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
