Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Ziigaat Horizon is 4 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 4 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
7Hz Timeless
The 7Hz Timeless is a planar magnetic in-ear monitor that delivers energetic, engaging sound with a strong bass presence and generally accurate tonality. While it offers solid technical performance for its price, it falls short in areas like soundstage depth, imaging precision, and treble smoothness, making it a good but not flawless choice for planar enthusiasts.
- Pro:Energetic and fun tuning with impactful bass
- Pro:Comfortable fit and lightweight build
- Pro:Detachable MMCX cable for easy replacement
- Con:Soundstage feels wide but shallow
- Con:Treble can be uneven or awkward at times
- Con:Imaging and bass control have limitations
Ziigaat Horizon
The Ziigaat Horizon is a wired tribrid IEM that delivers impressive technical performance for its price, featuring a spacious, holographic soundstage and strong detail retrieval. Its W-shaped tuning balances clarity and engagement, though its energetic treble and lighter bass impact may not suit everyone. While the sound quality is a standout, the build and accessories feel less premium than the audio performance.
- Pro:Excellent technical ability and detail retrieval
- Pro:Large, holographic soundstage with strong imaging
- Pro:Well-executed W-shaped tuning that balances fun and precision
- Con:Treble can become fatiguing or slightly sibilant for sensitive listeners
- Con:Mid-bass punch is limited, with bass more technical than physical
- Con:Build quality feels somewhat cheap for the price
