The extension and sensation of air is also good, and while it is not as smooth as the treble on the S12, it does seem to extend a little further, or at least that is the impression that it gives me. The treble is not quite as smooth as on the S12, which does sometimes make it seem a little more detailed (only on specific songs). I also have no issue with the treble areas of the Timeless. Saying that, I cannot say that the vocals are recessed, they are not, they are still present enough for me to not complain, just that the S12 has that little bit more. I mean, the S12 are not exactly very vocal forward but the Timeless are even less so. The mids are also very similar throught the lower and middle ranges, however, reaching the higher end of the mids, I find that the Timeless are not quite as forward in the vocals as the S12. The low end of bass guitars and other instruments have enough presence to be enjoyable, at least to me, without being overly done and becoming too warm. In the midbass range, I must say that I find them to be very similar to the S12 and really don’t have any complaints. I found tracks like “Bury A Friend” enjoyable but would choose to add a little more subbass if possible. It is not rolled off enough for me to complain but if given the choice, I would prefer to have a little more presence in this region. In the subbass department, I find that there is less quantity than with the S12. The included cable is a bit basic but uses nice hardware and to be honest, I prefer the lightweight of it over the thicker cable included with the S12. The IEMs are metal and seem to be well built, with no obvious signs of wear, although I don’t know exactly how long Antdroid has had them, nor how much he has used them. Personally I find the S12 more comfortable but the Timeless are not bad in this regard either. They are a large circle shape that fits just outside the ear, with a nozzle that is quite long but makes them quite comfortable. The shape of the Timeless is quite original also, definitely a break from the norm. However, the box is quite impressive and I must give 7Hz bonus points for originality. I will say that they do include a carry/storage case that is basically a full metal box, which is a few milimeters thick and is way too heavy to use to carry these IEMs around. In fact, I know that all contents are not included as there is only one set of tips and I know that these include more, therefore I am not going to really talk about presentation. Therefore, I am going to wait and post a complete review of the S12, as I feel that they deserve it without doubt.Īs I have already tried the S12, a lot of what I am going to mention about the Timeles is in comparison to the S12, which may not make a lot of sense due to the fact that I haven't posted a review of the S12 yet, but once I get to posting my review of the S12, this mini review will probably make a lot more sense.Īs these are on loan, I can’t say that they include all of the packaging and contents. My intention was to first post a Mini Review of the Shouer S12, a set of IEMs that has impressed me quite a bit, however, Shouer have informed me that they have sent me a set to review, which I should have by the time I get back to Spain. Therefore, please take these "Mini Reviews" for what they are, impressions after using the IEMs for only a brief period of time. I usually spend at least a week with an IEM before I create a review, as I find that more time spent can sometimes make certain flaws more obvious or can also make something grow on me. My intention with this "Mini Review" is to share my impressions of the various IEMs after using them for approximately one day only. I am currently on a business trip and while I am here, Antdroid (of ) has very kindly loaned me multiple sets of IEMs to try out.įirst, I must apologize for the lack of photos, and the poor quality of the photo that I have included, but I am stuck in a hotel room with just a cell phone and very limited light etc.
