TRN MT1 MAX: Quad Sonic Profiles For A Cheap

Image
Oi! Audio mates, welcome to my another IEM review and this time from one of the audio companies that I use to collect its products way back in 2018. I am talking about  TRN  and as I remember, I owned at least 7 products from them in my early phase in portable audio enthusiasm.  TRN  MT1  was the last IEM that I bought in 2021 as a gift for a friend.  TRN  IM1  was one of the longest sets that I ever used; it took more than 2 years before I switched to a higher tier ones and take note that I have some IEMs which are most of them are  TRN  sets like  V30, IM2  and  V80. And now after 2 years, I have their  TRN   MT1 MAX .  TRN MT1 MAX  is the current upgrade model of the original  MT1  and like its predecessor it has a single dynamic driver and this time it has tuning switches to change its sound profile in 4 modes. The said transducers that  MT1  has was the latest generation of 10mm...

TRN V80: V is for Voracious Bass

Image
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...

TRN IM1 (Original): Reminiscing A Kvlt IEM.

Hello and welcome to another recap review of one of my previous collection,The TRN IM1 Original.One of best matured U/V-shape tuning on its price.TRN IM1 is one of my longest serving daily drivers, I'm using it for over 2 years as it very versatile to all genres that I'm listening too.It is has set up of 1 Dynamic Driver (8mm driver) and 1 BA(possibly a customised 30095 by TRN).Its UIEM style shell is made resin on base part and metal faceplate with embedded TRN logo,which has a striking resemblance of more expensive IEM from TFZ, The Secret Garden which is over $100 .it is actually has a good built (Note: I have encounter some QC issue on the peeling of protective resin shell in the metal faceplate then metal face plate itself that really looks like a guitar pick after 2 years due to soften up the adhesives,possibly a climate and body acidity factor.)Its comfort and fitting in my ear is actually great.It really snuggly fit and sits well in my ears due to its UIEM d...

TRN IM2: Bassist's Favour

Image
What's up mates, I will have a recap review on TRN IM2.I bought this IEM last year as I collected TRN IEMs for my audio pleasure.As expected this has a V-shaped tuning,which is really good for modern genre like EDM, Rock and Pop. Lets talk about the LOWS/BASS ,This is quite overpowering in my hearing perception,The sub bass has good deep extension,The rumble that Bassheads that are looking for,The midbass is elevated but it doesn't bleed on mids.You will feel the intensity and the voracious drum kicks but the real star of this one was the Bass guitar, you will feel its detail and realistic plucking, slapping and fretting (even a fretless) reverb and timbre. MIDS  are recessed on this one,both female and male vox are neither laidback nor forward, The instruments has good separation and good detail. HIGHS/TREBLE  is smoothen out, not a bright one and lack of sparkle with average extension which translate less airy.Cymbals and chimes sounds bland that I wish for...
