The Timeless 2 does look seriously impressive. Great to know that if i want more technicalities to go for thw Simgot Planar set. I've loved Simgot's past stuff, so I'll definitely have to check them out in a couple months or so. Thanks for the video!
I went with Estrellas just to support Jay and kind of regret it. They're good, don't get me wrong, but mine either have broken driver or worst driver flex in history of mankind and no eartip helps it. Accessories are underwhelming to put it mildly. Linsoul support is abysmal to say the least. Should've went with Punch or Tea Pros as i initially thought, dang it.
The Deuce tripped so that the Punch could run.😭Great review as always, Jay! I hope to snipe some Kiwi Ears Punch on the secondhand market as my next dream basshead set-or win the giveaway; who knows!
An obligatory PSA to also test the Braindance with impedance adapters in 25-80 Ohm range. Dunu sells their own unbalanced 3.5mm adapters, Penon sells balanced 4.4mm.
Definitely putting the Timeless 2 on my list, just cuz I don't have a planar IEM. Not sure if I'm into bass like that anymore, but the fact you're comparing the Punch to IEMs worth $800+ might be worth checking out in the future.
Because I'm a bass head person, I am really interested in Kiwiears HBB Punch. And like its name, I hope the Mid bass, slams really hard. I will try this set in the future. Nice Jay for the review. Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽
The OG was my default planar reco since way back because it scales really well especially once used with the Chord Mojo. Kiwi Ears and Ziigaat have been releasing banger products recently though.
Great review, both sets are interesting but the punch feels like an accurate description of the bass and to the bank account lol Loving the comfy winter vibes though ❄️ 🎄 ❄️
Even HBB is disassociating from the Deuce at this point.... it's time to move on from even considering it as an option for purchase. Again my concern with these highly contoured and oddly shaped sets will be fit and comfort. I pretty much expect the Timeless 1 & 2 to be "ok" for me on fit but not great as with all fully round designs. I hear that I'm not the only one. The Punch does look good but do want a bit more on the the Mega5est Bass+ VS the Punch... how does it compare in the mid-range and high-end resolution?
nice review. kiwi ears 👊 looks beautiful. ive got my hands on aful explorer recently, and i didnt liked it. my previous set was kefine delci and i did the upgrade bc i find delci very thin in the timbre sometimes. explorer solved this problem but sadly the iem have too much sub and mid bass that i find completely overwhelming, even with decent amplification on my fiio ka11. i did a demo of the explorer on my delcis but sounded good. well i guess disappointments are a thing in this hobby. you should listen to 953 from black midi
Hey, great video One question I saw that you mentioned the Mega5est bass+ would say that the quality of the bass is better ? I would like to have good attack/tight impact on kick drums retaining some sub presence but I don’t need a giant amount of it Wandering how the bass performs against the bajie as well
Thanks for the timeless 2 detail, I’ve not got a planar in my collection keep on waiting to see what set to get think I’ve posted here multiple times asking 😂 this sounds good and interesting. I’m more warm focused good base, know that’s not a planar experience I like to have a few variations that aren all one sound signature. Not got loads in my collection (about 5) so still a beginner, hence why I’m trying a few of different signatures why I explore. Not good with large iems how are these for fit?. ThanksJ, happy holidays everyone 🎉👍
Have you heard the xDuoo XD05T portable tube amp? I recently got it and am blown away, especially using the line-in from either my DC-Elite or SE300. My favorite combo so far is using the Brain Dance. Tubes plus the bass boost really help the BD to shine, IMO. Another way to get Drain Brance better bass is using an impedance adapter, but using the bass boost allows all of those amazing trebles to remain shimmery and crystalline!
Hey Jay 😉🤙🏼 I’m planing to update from my current setup: 7hz Zero:2, silver plated core tripowin cable, spinfit w1 tips on an ifi go link. What iems would you suggest on a 100/150$ range? Thank you!
Between Kiwi Punch and Mega5Est, I easily pick the Punch. Because I can have a clear idea of what specific drivers deliver the sound. I don’t trust any “custom” drivers because of there is no way to search any information of them. I am glad that both Jays and HBB have done their Collaboration with branded drivers❤❤❤
I thought PUNCH wasn't for me but after seeing your ranking I'm curious. This has EST but is it able to get vocals like mega5est? If so, with your EQ it's a really complete product. I'm attracted to IEMs with two sides after learning about Estrella's tape mod.
Great video! I was thinking of upgrading my deuce. How does the Punch compare to the Theiaudio Origin (what does each do better than the other). Is it possible to get the Punch to get within 95% of the Origin through EQ?
@@jayyaudio Thanks. 1 more question. I heard some say that you feel the vibration or rumble stronger in the Origin because of the bone conduction (BC) drivers and no other headphone with BC drivers give you that same feeling. Is that true with the Origin vs the Punch? You feel the noticeable rumble in the Origin vs the Punch?
I wish I had waited until people started to get duece, I thought they wouldn't provide silver blood cable if I didn't pre order. I should've waited and spent money on these newer sets, I could've grabbed some discounts during sale as well.
I was very excited to get the S12's because of all the hype and praise and...yeah, planar timbre is very much a thing. It also lack in clarity, depth, instrument separation. I tried EQ'ing but nothing makes these exciting/something i want to listen to. Even if Timeless 2 are "refined" i wouldn't hold my breath too much. Just fyi. Im not saying you wont like them moreso lower your expectations. Hope they fit you needs 👍
Jay could you say a few more words about the Punch vs the Meteor? I think I may be a Meteor person, but I'm not sure. Who would you *not* recommend the Meteor to?
I already have the Timeless AE…not sure Timeless 2 intrigues me much. But the Punch on the other hand is def a set I’d love to try. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Brain Dance 👍🏻
I’m deciding between the Scarlet Mini or the HBB Punch, how would you compare these 2? I plan to listen to mostly rap and i’m searching for that subwoofer rumble vibration in the ear like a car subwoofer would do

@@jayyaudio Santa keeps on giving 🎅🫡 Cheers and congrats to the winners 👏
Congrats to all! 🎊
Origin still based, but I'd get the Punch over other HBB sets still because EST drivers give me eargasms.
Congrats!
Congratulations to the winners! 🎉
Congrats to the winners! We can already feel the holiday spirit
Thank you for recomending eartips in your reviews! Lately your reviews are more dynamic, Happy Holidays ma boiiii Cheers from México 🇲🇽

OMG, my first time winning something on the internet. I've participated in so many contests through the years. THANK YOU JAY!!!
Congrats man!
Great video, with fantastic comparisons. I am still totally digging the Arcadia.
Arcadia is great
My set of punch should arrive today. I'm excited!
enjoy!
thankyou for the detailed review
Your comparison is very clear, I could imagine the sound, but I'm dare to try my self
Great review video
Glad you enjoyed it
🔥 good stuff Jayy
I noticed you recommending the tangzu tips often so I tried them and they are great! I have specially found that I really like the wide bores a lot
they are great tips :)
Excited for the brain dance and speedrun vid!
Thanks Jay, Timeless II should be with me later today. Can't wait 👍👍👍
nice
This video will help me finally decide about the Punch.
Can't wait for the dunu bd review, very curious 🤪
love your content man
Thanks man
Thanks man, cool vid.
Great reviews, timeless 2 maybe my next upgrade 😎
The Timeless 2 does look seriously impressive. Great to know that if i want more technicalities to go for thw Simgot Planar set. I've loved Simgot's past stuff, so I'll definitely have to check them out in a couple months or so.

Congrats for the winner, goodluck everyone
they way you explain things is so good
Glad you find it helpful!
new hairstyle looking good jayy
Thanks g
I don't know if I've spent more on IEMs or eartips, but damn, here goes another pair of each!
💸
Looking fwd for your review on the dunu braindance 👍🏻
Been enjoying the punch for a couple of weeks now, it’s pretty good
Hell yeah man
Thanks for review timeless 2
Great review! The Punch sounds like a good fit for my tastes but might be still some time till I get new IEMs.
Hype 4 is my iem of the year. Got it on 11.11 and love the Bass impact.
I have hype 4, and yes, so far best iem in my collection
One of the best in mine too. My top sets are tea pro, hype 4, tea 2, s15, mext and penon 10th anniversary. Oh and fiio fh9
@Hijynx87 i hear that tea pro sound similar to hype 4, is this true, I wonder to buy tea products but I don't knew if I have hype 4
I went with Estrellas just to support Jay and kind of regret it. They're good, don't get me wrong, but mine either have broken driver or worst driver flex in history of mankind and no eartip helps it. Accessories are underwhelming to put it mildly. Linsoul support is abysmal to say the least. Should've went with Punch or Tea Pros as i initially thought, dang it.
I was thinking the timeless 2 was never going to happen. Good to see it back. The Punch seems like a great set
good review bro
The Deuce tripped so that the Punch could run.😭Great review as always, Jay! I hope to snipe some Kiwi Ears Punch on the secondhand market as my next dream basshead set-or win the giveaway; who knows!
I kept hearing you say “Tangzu” and I thought I was losing my mind. Also, I need the punch in my life, low key.
It's a knockout set ;)
Haha same
Haha me 2 thought he got hand on zeitan legend
Until the end I kept hearing tangzu
An obligatory PSA to also test the Braindance with impedance adapters in 25-80 Ohm range. Dunu sells their own unbalanced 3.5mm adapters, Penon sells balanced 4.4mm.
I like that tuning nozzles are on the rise, they are still underrated imo.
I prefer tuning nozzles over switches. The me600 has tuning nozzles and they make a big difference
Great vid🎉
glad you enjoyed
so many good releases at the end of year!
Definitely putting the Timeless 2 on my list, just cuz I don't have a planar IEM. Not sure if I'm into bass like that anymore, but the fact you're comparing the Punch to IEMs worth $800+ might be worth checking out in the future.

enjoy man
Hey Jay, great video! What would you recommend for Hard style/edm and rock/metal?
Mid volume Estrella, High volume Tea Pros
ooh almost missed this video 🙏
Great video again🎉🎉
Too kind 👊
LET'S GOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥
The OG was my default planar reco since way back because it scales really well especially once used with the Chord Mojo. Kiwi Ears and Ziigaat have been releasing banger products recently though.

nice review. kiwi ears 👊 looks beautiful.
ive got my hands on aful explorer recently, and i didnt liked it. my previous set was kefine delci and i did the upgrade bc i find delci very thin in the timbre sometimes.
explorer solved this problem but sadly the iem have too much sub and mid bass that i find completely overwhelming, even with decent amplification on my fiio ka11. i did a demo of the explorer on my delcis but sounded good. well i guess disappointments are a thing in this hobby.
you should listen to 953 from black midi
Love Letshuoer as a brand in general! How is Timeless II compared to Hidizs MP145?
Better
Hey, great video
One question I saw that you mentioned the Mega5est bass+ would say that the quality of the bass is better ? I would like to have good attack/tight impact on kick drums retaining some sub presence but I don’t need a giant amount of it
Wandering how the bass performs against the bajie as well
nah, both Bajie and Punch have better quality, the bass sounds smoothed out on the mega5est bass
Noice review
I try
Looks nice

First timeless is a legend. It began planar wars.
Another great unique review, J! Do you think the Timeless II is a significant (worthy) upgrade from the T10? Thanks!
nah, you're good with T10

Simgot EM6L! It's got the bass and the tech
@ on their way already ma men! 🍻 thanks
Nice review.Jay if you lower the bass the technicalities are getting better or it's a matter of drivers?
Ya it gets cleaner and more clear
Kiwi ears do be cooking lately. Looking good
Too many bangers these days. Congrats to the winners.
Pretty cool that Punch is trading blows quite evenly with big guys like Titan and Origin.
Can't wait to hear your opinion on the dunu braindance.
That voice change in the end 😂
Been wanting to try some planar out hopefully timeless2 suit my taste
Jay!!! Icy Icy…dat shirt
;)
Great one
Glad that the timeless 2 turned out okay. It was in the oven so long, I was worried it would be overcooked.
perfectly cooked
Man, maybe sometime I win a giveaway haha, but thanks for the great video, as always!!
GL!
Great options for bass friendly listening

I will not be surprised if chris drop 50 collabs next year
xD
Softears VolumeS releasing this month, are you gonna review them?
I wish I had waited until people started to get duece, I thought they wouldn't provide silver blood cable if I didn't pre order. I should've waited and spent money on these newer sets, I could've grabbed some discounts during sale as well.
HAHAHAHA WELCOME TO BUDGET CHI-FI
Almost everytime you said "Timeless 2" I heard "Tangzu" xD. Biased ears maybe? Anyways great review duderino!
the timeless 2's shell looks so clean
Truee banger
Need to wait for the next big sales to get the KE Punch. Also pleasantly surprised that the extra delayed Timeless part 2 is good 👍
It was worth the wait
Today
Do you consider the Punch the Basshead endgame under the Fatfreq flagships? (Just considering sound quality)
Do not buy from FatFreq
FF = scammers
@@jayyaudio i know, saw you, HBB, and others telling the problems about buying directly from them.
Timeless 2 seems like a banger. Might have to pick one up for myself.
I have waited a lot for Timeless 2.
What do you recommend for a musical set like the Explorer, Odyssey, and EJ07, but at mid volume? KE4 and Estrella?
Estrella or Pilgrim for less bass
@jayyaudio Did pilgim improved or smth? Didnt you said in vid that its redundant as there's the SM4
Seems like it going to be my first planar iem 🎉
I was very excited to get the S12's because of all the hype and praise and...yeah, planar timbre is very much a thing. It also lack in clarity, depth, instrument separation. I tried EQ'ing but nothing makes these exciting/something i want to listen to. Even if Timeless 2 are "refined" i wouldn't hold my breath too much.

Jay could you say a few more words about the Punch vs the Meteor? I think I may be a Meteor person, but I'm not sure. Who would you *not* recommend the Meteor to?
If you want a warmer sound, less in your face with the sub-bass, Punch is very potent when it comes to sub
HBB collabs are really amazing!!!
I already have the Timeless AE…not sure Timeless 2 intrigues me much. But the Punch on the other hand is def a set I’d love to try. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Brain Dance 👍🏻
Braindance, more like braindamage
Happy Friday
Kiwiears and Ziigaat are releasing fire after fire this year 🔥
🔥
I’m deciding between the Scarlet Mini or the HBB Punch, how would you compare these 2?
I plan to listen to mostly rap and i’m searching for that subwoofer rumble vibration in the ear like a car subwoofer would do
HBB Punch more balanced while giving a lot of bass, Scarlet is too much sb
