Know before you buy
The 14.2mm planar driver uses an ultra-thin diaphragm suspended between a double-sided array of magnets. This design allows for a much faster transient response and lower distortion, resulting in clearer, more detailed sound reproduction across the frequency range.
Yes, the shells are crafted from lightweight CNC-machined aluminum and feature an ergonomic shape designed to sit securely in the ear. At just 5.5g per earpiece, they are light enough to wear for extended periods without causing fatigue.
The Timeless AE comes with a versatile detachable cable that includes interchangeable 3.5mm, 4.4mm, and 2.5mm termination plugs. This allows you to connect directly to standard headphone jacks, balanced outputs, or high-end digital audio players without needing separate adapters.
With an impedance of 14.8 ohms and a sensitivity of 104dB, these monitors are relatively easy to drive. While they will work with most smartphones or laptops, using a dedicated DAC or amplifier can help you get the most out of their dynamic range and sound fidelity.
Yes, the Timeless AE uses a standard 0.78mm 2-pin connector. This makes it easy to swap out the stock cable for a replacement or a custom upgrade if you prefer a different material or length.
The Timeless AE is tuned to provide a balanced, high-resolution sound profile. You can expect tight, fast bass response typical of planar drivers, combined with clear mids and detailed highs that remain smooth rather than harsh.
