Regarding the TA1 Max, the fact that they're half-open is very interesting.
I wonder if they're very leaky though.
I'll wait for your comparison to the OVA SG-01, but if they're not too leaky, I'll get those
I have a friend that has difficulty finding IEMs with shells small enough for her, the TRN TA1 Max looks very promising. I may just buy it, just for that reason!
She will smile from ear to ear. The only thing is I still haven’t tried them with a phone. Only used a 1Z and 1A so far and they are a 10/10. Sorry I’ve been away from the house most of the day and not able to test them fully. But I will try an iPad soon and let you know what they are like! They will fit everyone!

Well, I’m kinda spoiled in that I use Walkmans all the time. Yet to test stuff people like to know what it’s like if say you were using an iPad or a phone. Let me just say from an iPad playing an assortment of tracks it was very prim and proper. It had exciting bass and generally was fine. Still......if you want to TOTL TRN TA1 Max experience you really have to get it better food to eat. It scales like no tomorrow! Really great upscale ability! I would really use a DAP with it, otherwise 1/2 of the potential is waisted! IMO
Also it may be better with the 1A not the 1Z...at least that’s where I’m leaning too. Due to the 1A having even faster bass. It’s such a special experience with good recorded OSTs and the 1A!
Well, I just started listening to it this morning. So, I’m trying not to make quick judgments.............Technicalities are through the roof. I’m doing my best to not spill the beans yet.
The TRN TA1 Max is insane! Totally insane. The sub-bass is actually faster than the Bax. All I can do right now is just laugh to myself. Slowly laugh!
I’ve never ever heard this sound for the money! Ever.
In many ways it overcomes some of the shortcomings of the Bax. The Bax is like a big supercar simply not as agile as TA1 Max. In my review I talk about the theme of Star Wars, the Bax does it too intense. It’s simply a difficult song for many headphones to do. Even the TA1 Max has problems with the song, but it does it better than the Bax. What is amazing totally amazing is the Dune OST with the TA1 Max. Just incredible!
The main title theme of The Force Awakens. 1st song. But Dune is the OST for the TRN TA1 Max! The subs are like a theater, even tighter. Using Hansound Zen 4.4mm, Sony Walkman 1A, MrWalkman firmware.

Thanks will listen to them with my BAX. I pair the BAX with a YY cable and it makes studio albums like live albums. Will be very interesting if the TA1 max can in some ways beat the BAX!
I know BQEYZ Autumn is no longer considered a discovery, but in spite of that, I would like to share my review on them with you all. The most comfortable IEM I have ever listened to.
I’m actually going to compare the two a lot in my review. And....if they were placed on a table and I had to only choose one, it would be the Bax. But the Max goes and does it’s own thing. The fit is incredible, the Bax fits me fine but there is still something about small that has a factor. All and all the Bax soundstage is bigger, basically everything is bigger with the Bax. The Bax is maybe my favorite release of the year, but it’s very bombastic and can be slightly intense. With the TRN TA1 Max we have almost zero of that too much intensity. It’s faster than the Bax, and it has more coherence. There is only two drivers but almost nothing is left out. Once in a while I wish for more treble complexity but it’s rare. It’s not dull by any means.
Haha, the flamboyance of the Bax and the vividness does make stuff sound live! It is seriously doing a lot for the level of cash it’s priced at!

It's not even worth mentioning on this thread. We're all mostly Chi-Fi enthusiasts on this thread. I don't think any of the regular posters on this thread will pony up for this let alone be sent one for review by CFA (for fear of a bad review).
