TRN V80: V is for Voracious Bass

-

All right mates, Once again, I do another recap review on the IEMs that I've previously owned within a span of 4 years. Let's talk about TRN V80. TRN V80 was a 2018 flagship IEM from TRN Audio,They were a very popular IEM model especially In local audiophile scene here for having a good build quality metal housing and competitive at cheap price price at $40 - 45.

TRN V80 is a 2 balanced  armature and 2 dynamic driver set-up.It has a U-shaped (V-shaped to some)sound signature. More emphasis on bass and treble elevation, linear mids in audio frequency. It has a  good built quality as I mention as its shell material is made up of aluminium. Its aesthetics is somewhat similar in appearance to Dunu's Falcon C that also offers better fitting on ears at comfortable level. Now lets go on to its sound quality.

The LOWS/BASS is the strongest point of this IEM,It is very punchy and dynamic.You will really feel the rumble of the sub bass,it really digs deep on to it.It has a slight bump in the mid bass which offer an impactful drum kicks and engaging sound of bass guitar.

MIDS here are quite recessed on my liking here.Too linear in my hearing but the vocals are frontal and forward in mix, Female vocals will be more benefited on this one than male vocals as high vocal range or high octave ones will show its prowess and technicalities.There is a good spacing between the instruments like percussion ones and guitars, That they are well-detailed, refined and engaging here.The revealing of some micro-details is a good add-on.

The HIGHS/TREBLE is energetic and has good shimmer on it.The upper mids is kinda boasted and peaky here that some tracks shows its tendency towards sibilance.It has a good handle of clarity in presence region which it is was slightly smoothen to avoid the harshness.It has a well-extended and has a sense of airiness in a  brilliance which extended the range of crashing cymbal and its natural tonality.

The SOUNDSTAGE of this IEM is above average and sort of a "In your face feeling", It has a good depth and some of that immersive 3D-feeling on it.The IMAGING is accurate enough to pinpoint the locations of instrument and stereo panning is detail.Complex tracks with treble emphasis is somehow has mixed bag on here as it shows more distortion and dissonance on the mix.

If you want that bassy experience and the vivacious clarity then this IEM is for you.

DITA AUDIO  is an audio company based in the land of Merlion, Singapore. And this company has an extensive years of experience of producing and crafting audio products way back in the 70's. This audio establishment is considered as a boutique brand as it produces some of the well-crafted and meticulously engineered in-ear earphones in the market. The first set that I know from  DITA  is the  Perpetua  but I didn't test it out personally as I only saw it on some audiophile forums and also in audio review sites that its asking price is rather quite intriguing for a single dynamic driver set-up. And then one day, a  DITA  rep happens to also be my online friend who offers me to do a review on their latest product and without any hesitation, I accept it as it is my opportunity to test out some  DITA  products. Then finally, I finally got this new product and this one is  DITA's  latest midrange set that will be priced around US$325 as t...

The  SIMGOT  revolution is still going strong as they release some of the sturdiest, insightfully designed and well-tuned sets that will truly perform beyond its price in the current portable audio market. I have tested some of the  SIMGOT  products and I find them remarkable from  EA500  up to the  EA1000 . What I have here to be featured in this review article is another entry-level IEM model from them, The  SIMGOT EW200 Maze . Like some of the previous models, this set is also a single driver IEM and it has a metal shell chassis which offers more solid construction that will last longer from wear and tear usage. The  SIMGOT EW200  utilises a dual cavity, dual magnetic dynamic driver with a composite diaphragm called SCP diaphragm. SCP diaphragm has a special polymer thin film coated with silicon layers consisting of proven LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) materials which are known to have an excellent tensile...
