On the mobile app, the Buy Now price (for the TRN VX) is 67.60 USD; if that matters

Is it discounted? That is a big difference otherwise (the 74 usd is on linsoul)

Yes. the discount is automatic, no hoops to jump through.

Oh crap, that's nice. Any idea what they will upgrade/change/fix on it compared to the first one?

 

[Wiljen]

I'll have to grab a Spring 2 for review for sure - still think the Spring 1 is excellent value in its class so I expect good things.

CCA's response to the TRN VX.. I guess we'll see a new KZ with a bunch of BAs as well soon. (just like there was a release wave last time: TRN V90, KZ ZSX, CCA C12)

Update: just realized this was already posted I'll leave the post for the images

anyone have any info on how these sounds like?

This is probably just me, but I’m a much bigger fan of single DD budget IEMs compared to budget hybrid IEMs. I’m referring to those that are $80 or less. Above $100, there are some impressive ones. For me, it has to do with timbre, tonality, and cohesiveness of the sound. It’s very difficult to design such complex crossovers.

Same here, skipping the clown car hybrids (I have enough of them already ) and saving up for the Fiio FH5.

I like the CCA design better. I said it in the TRN thread that I don't like starting to encircle the dynamic with armatures and then you go and throw two in front at a different distance than the other armatures and blocking the audio path some. Why make issues that you'll have to fix. Cheap so not a crime as like when the $329 Astrotec or others did it back in the earlier hybrid days but still don't want that design any more. I also like the flat face better than the seashell type. Though I like the green better. Too bad they don't use that KZ green like on the Z1.

No idea. Will share if I found out anything.

Ok I am down for a BA earphone. Will see how it is. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001049752491.html?spm=2114.12010611.8148356.8.ed12581dmJh6iK

A bit of an update on the NM2. Took them to work with me today. The tuning is very mature out of the box. Don't know if NF audio earphones need much in the way of burn in as I noticed they all have good sonics out of the box. Will burn them in anyway.

Will have some more impressions of them as they get some more burn in. I think the NM2 is the NA1 with a slight decrease in the upper mids lower treble and that is the one area I thought the NA1 was not so great. Had a bit too much in the region. I can actually listen to EDM on the NM2 which I had some issue with the NA1.

So basically the NM2 is a bit more refined NA1. Which cost $70 cheaper. Instead of charging you more for the slight tweeks you get a discount. Hows that for refreshing. You guys will hear more about the NM2. I think they are gonna be a popular earphone once more folks chime in.

Yes. the discount is automatic, no hoops to jump through.

Through the "TRN official" my price was 63.80 after coupons with just a minute if checking for coupons.... It's a new store and who knows the relation to TRN but I bit on that price with Ali standard shipping....


Cannot wait for the spring 2 as well. Chifi is reviving!

 

[DynamicEars]

My guess the VX is more V shaped than CA16 but who knows. I believe the CA16 is gonna be great but not sure how much better than C12, the price is like double the price.
Meanwhile my KZ Z1 is otw (i know not so many people interested bout this set)
And on other news, Spring 2 will be tweaked on bass frequencies (hopefully they listen about sub bass and too mid bass centric and adjustment on piezo).

 

[gazzington]

Hi all. I'm after an iem for daily use that is non fatiguing and am considering HiFi BOY OS V3. It's this still a good purchase or are other ones I should consider?
