If you prioritize sound quality, especially for music, the 7hz Timeless earbuds may be the better choice despite the higher price. However, the Soundcore Space Q45 headphones offer active noise canceling, longer battery life, and additional features like an app equalizer and customizable controls that the 7hz Timeless lacks, while also being lighter on the wallet. Keep in mind that the Soundcore's over-ear design can provide better comfort and noise isolation, making it more suitable for air travel and general use in noisy environments. 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 Q45 is a great pair of active noise canceling (ANC) headphones, and the $150 USD price tag only sweetens the deal. Unlike many mid-tier wireless headphones, the Q45 microphone system rejects quite a bit of background noise, making this a great work headset too."
