I can’t wait for mine to come!

I like the TRN BT20, but after a few hours it starts getting painful to wear. I don’t know if it’s because I wear glasses, or if it’s the preformed ear guides putting pressure on my ears.

So I’m hoping the T1C/QS1 will provide all the benefits with none of the downsides.

Did you try re-shaping the ear guides? I did with mine to better fit my ears with a heat gun (that and rotating the mmcx connectors to face down).


EDIT: if you are going to do this be aware it takes a while for the heat to fully penetrate the stiffer inner guide tube. So be prepared to take a several minutes a side so you don't overheat them either, the outer sheathing can warp if so. Also be careful to not heat up the body where the electronics/battery reside .

I wrote about that T1c in this thread maybe before its hyped, the one that i bought "accidentally" for my wife because she just want something tws, so i just blindfolded grab the cheapest one and i was surprised wow its like the MH755 of the TWS!
I havent buy it for myself, even though they already use BT 5.0 but still the batt capacity only capable until 3 hours

The design of TRN BT 20 is faulty and is not meant to be worn for long periods. I don't wear glasses and it starts getting painful for me after a while too. I'm really disappointed with my unit. Perhaps as @assassin10000 suggested, we need to re-shape the earguides.

I'm using it with note 8 (supposed to support usb 5.0) and it can go past the 4 hours mark. haven't done the complete drain test yet though

Interested in what you think. Im on the fence about ordering one for my wife. Just ordered the little Mahdi Bluetooth mp3 player for $20 after coupons, and think that would be a killer setup for her workouts.

Probably so then. I've worn mine for 6-7 hours at a time, more than once. I don't wear glasses either... but I have used them with sunglasses on.

On the subject of BA bass, I find myself curious but given I've got what for me is a surfeit of IEMs (and the CCA C10 is now my primary travel "headphones" to boot) I also find myself feeling rather frugal. There any reasonably good all-BA (one or plural, not fussy) IEMs below the KZ AS06 in price? Optimally in the <=15$ range but that's not a hard cap... Skimmed back several pages and didn't spot anything, but I also wasn't reading every post in-depth.

I think you compared it to the first kinera idun and not the deluxe one? I heard the deluxe one has more natural and thicker vocals but wanted your confirmation.

I don't have the Idun Deluxe version now, thus - cannot compare. Only regular Idun

any short review or initial impressions i can checkout?

First of all the build is fantastic and comfortable in my ears too. It has a nice cable although the wire is a bit thin above the Y-split. In terms of sound, it's much better than I was expecting. Bass is tight and punchy with moderate quantity. Mids are smooth and clear with good tone. The lower treble is a bit forward but it's not too bright or abrasive. Detail retrieval is very good too. It's not perfect but is easily one of the better IEMs I've heard around the $20 mark.

It definitely does though. It’s a wonderful IEM

Wait, which IEM are we talking about here?

No, I did not try that. I wasn’t sure if it was possible. It felt like there was a stiff plastic rod inside, so I wasn’t sure it could be reshaped. I had tried to get a fellow member’s dead BT20 so I could dissect it and see how it was designed inside (then determine if/how I could reshape mine), but the deal fell through.

So you’re saying it can just be reshaped with heat (like a hair dryer or heat gun)? That’s really good news!

For $20 I’d be willing to give that a try. For workouts and cycling I love my iPod nano 6G and Sansa Clip+ because they’re so small and light with a built in clip.

Years ago I even wore the iPod as a watch, and ran attached the IEM cable up my sleeve so it was super stealth with dress clothes.

So yeah thanks I’ll take a look at that mahdi. I also need to take a closer look at the Shanling m0 as it looks really small like that. I don’t know all of its features and exact size though, so I’ll figure all that out when I dig deeper into the specs.
