Timeless 2 or?

[Lee S]

Hi to all,
I own a pair of Timeless which I quite like, although I find them a bit bright. I am looking for something similar but better. I just read the Timeless 2 doesn't have this sharpness.
Some people also recommend the Blessing 3
I listen to mostly classical music. At home, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 which I find very natural. Maybe there is something that comes closer to these and doesn't cost a fortune?

Hi @Lee S! Welcome to ASR.

Using the included dome nozzles, you can tame the treble a bit, compared to the Timeless 1:

But the impact is small and frequency response remains pretty rough and jagged up there.

Thank you for your answer!
So you wouldn't say it is much of an improvement over the Timeless 1...
Could you recommend me something?

Sounds like the new Ziigaat Lush will suit you as it quite similar to the timeless but with less treble energy throughout, could be a worthy upgrade at only £135
