7Hz Timless AE and BTR7

Submitted by Schweppes1783 t3_10ffpx2 in headphones

I've recently discovered the BTR7's and i got really excited about them. I wanna buy a new pair of IEMS (timless ae more specifically) and I don't know how it's gonna work with the BTR7. Is it overkill?

It kinda is. BTR5 is more than enough for those. Or you can get utws5 if you want wireless experience.

I just got the 7HZ Timeless AE last week! While it is fairly power-hungry compared to most other relatively cheap IEMs I've tried, I've been able to run it right off of my phone using the Apple Dongle with no problem (volume around 70-80%). When I paired the Timeless with a variety of delta-sigma sources, the Apple Dongle, my M1 MacBook Air, DD HiFi TC44C, and Ferrum Erco, I really didn't find that much of a difference in bass response.

At the end of the day, you should do what you enjoy most. If you want the BlueTooth capabilities of the BTR7, go for it! But if you're just going to use it as a phone dongle, you may want to reconsider.

Ooor you could just get the Apple dongle and spend the extra 200 $ (insert here the equivalent for your currency) on better iems. This actually brings you to the thieaudio oracle / clairvoyance territory.

Just my 2 cents here, buy whatever makes you happy.

A quick word of caution: I think the Oracles and Clairvoyance *do* require a decent amount of power to sound their best. So if you're going to allocate all of your budget towards just the IEMs themselves, I'd pick something more efficient.
