I dont have trio (yet?) But if they are behave like Castor, the 11xx config is adding sub bass and midbass so they are more balanced and made overall signature bodied and thicker with great bass impact. I observed the castor bass and found that the 1xxx switch is only adding midbass but the 11xx switch is adding midbass and subbass, not level of the bass altogether like KZ (written as 1xxx = adding bass level, 11xx = adding more bass)Quick update about Trio:
- I concede to @FreeWheelinAudioLuv2 and others: the 1100 config sounds better than 1000.
- There IEM were tuned for foam, which is quite rare and interesting to see. When listening using silicone tips, a peak somewhere in treble appears, giving a touch of treble spice even when listening to voice over documentaries. On the plus side, the upper treble is also more prominent, meaning a bit more imaging clarity and detail.
- Bass in 11xx configuration is tactile and nice. I would say bass quality and stage are key strengths of this IEM.
I modded my Castor with mesh500 but with 1 tiny hole on center so bass have better airflow (thus have better impact and vented on bass note attack) but on all switches to 1111 to have better treble extension more than xx00 like you said but only possible with mod for me due too high pinna gain if I didn't mod them, too shouty on stock.
They become better but to shape them even better the key is "more treble extension, less pinna gain"
Oh and "more nice attitude , less hyperbolic drama" to their reps
