7Hz Timeless II $223 Review
January 11, 2025 Comments Off on 7Hz Timeless II $223 Review
It’s a 14.5mm driver, we have more than twice the effective diaphragm than that of a 10mm dynamic driver. Of course, there is bass and it’s nothing short of jaw-dropping. There’s extension that goes all the way down; how low down, you might ask? Well, inspired by the company name, I went ahead and generated a 7Hz sine wave in Audacity and hit play. Naturally, no human can hear the 7Hz fundamental tone but what I heard made the hair stand up on my back and other hairy places. What I could hear was the Doppler modulation of environmental noise as the diaphragm wiggled the air. There was zero noise and no distortion and I almost got sick.
To fully show off the thunderous capabilities of the 7Hz Timeless II, electronic music is perfect. This time I chose Lorne and Monolake for a clean sub-bass to gauge how well the 14.5mm planar driver does and at all times it impressed me. Not only is there depth, but the driver also seems extremely clean to the point of what’s usually called “planar bass”. Even real kickdrum like on Shelby Lynne’s Just a Little Lovin’ came through with aplomb and even on high SPL’s the rest of the spectrum played completely unscathed.
