Our Verdict

MOONDROP Aria

7HZ Timeless

Depending on your preferences, you may enjoy either the MOONDROP Aria or the 7HZ Timeless for neutral sound. While both headphones are well-built and have very neutral sound profiles, the MOONDROP are more comfortable and come with a better hard case to protect your headphones on the go. However, the 7HZ have a more accurate treble range.
