If sound quality, particularly for music, is your top priority and you don't mind spending more, the 7hz Timeless would likely be the better option due to their typically better sound reproduction. However, if you're working within a budget and want a good balance between performance and cost, the Soundcore Space One may offer a reasonable quality at a lower price. Consider also how you'll use them; if you're planning to use them for activities where portability and convenience are crucial, the form factor and features like noise cancellation (if offered by the Space One) might sway your decision. If you need a microphone for calls, make sure to check if both options include one, as this could be a deciding factor. Additionally, take into account the battery life, comfort, and build quality when making your decision. 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 Anker Soundcore Space One noise-cancelling headphones are stylish, comfortable, and affordable. They offer better active noise cancellation than we expect for the price, and their sculpted audio impresses thanks to the adjustable EQ and support for the hi-res LDAC codec. Overall, they’re an excellent value and well worth your attention if you're on a budget."
