It's a steal!! Must have.

 

[Redcarmoose]

yes its color coded it seems,
From their marketing material

Though TRN pretty much matched the price of the old 8BA earphone and supplied 2X the drivers.

Edit:
I really wonder if the wholesale cost of BAs has gone down, because the are a lot of em everywhere this year?

If this image to be believed in,

Then TRN is mostly using older BAs (or they are "updated/custom" version or basically old unit with dampers)
this promo image is curiously missing from the the new marketing materials

and its replaced with this image of nondescript BAs instead (and only descriptive BAs "low freq BA" without driver series number)

and yeah no mention of DLP sound tube shell, just "aviation grade aluminium-magnesium shell."
---
while TRN have advantages of "Moar drivers~!", both AS24 and Kumo uses new gen driver who are supposedly better performing + DLP soundtube shells.
well, i guess its depend on the application and tuning.

In my experience, TRN products with high driver count are usually dodgy. Usually QC issues or banshee screaming tuning. Sometimes less is more, and stuffing an obscene amount of drivers inside without proper crossover or tuning is meaningless.

From your picture, there seem to be some BAs just dumped in the nozzle without a proper acoustic tube, that's a big red flag for sibilance galore.

Best to wait for first adopter impressions/reviews instead of blind buying this one.

Are you SURE that these are genuine audio products by virtue of acoustic desirability. Not just being charged to your "Audiophile" account to offset the other expensive crap (er, gear I mean, I lapsed into WIFE101 lingo)
you have been accumulating?

Maybe they saving costs by not wiring them all up or having all the sound tubes patent? I know, inconceivable!

Listening to music when you're not sleeping?

Well, still that is a lot of drivers. The curiosity comes from is it good or not, because it may be really good. Still how in the world do you put sound tubes together there? They don't show the sound tubes either because it is not something you want to see? Or the art department refused to draw it, or it just looks wild? Someone will take one apart........some day.

It reminds me of the why HiFri is buying one of TRN loads of BA IEMs even tough he thinks it bad.
He bought it to harvest the drivers, apparently pretty cost efficient compared to buying the driver individually

 

[Redcarmoose]

The Bax was and is one of my favorites, so not everything they do is bad. The TRN TA1 MAX is great too.........they do make a few nice ones. The TRN ST5, I thought was just OK, though some people really like it?

Listening impressions later.

I can't say that I'm very impressed with this one, male vocals seem shouty and the technicalities are well behind the competition. I am a huge fan of the tips that it comes with though.

Yeah the upper mids are quite zealous. I think this IEM is designed more for gaming though, where the added clarity of the upper mids may help?

I would guess those tips on KBEAR 07. I like them too
