Incredible price. My MT3 trauma will keep me away of blind purchasing it though. I hope its a hit
I wonder what is your MT3 trauma??

TRN MT4 is available on AliExpress in TRN Official Store. It comes in two versions black and chrome. I'm from the EU and I see 20$ with VAT. It looks nice, but the cable is probably a render, not a photo. Or it's a really nice cable :)
Judging by MT4 renders and real life photos of the MT3, it’s safe to assume the cable is the same as with the previous model.

Wait so, the Zero outperforms the Ling Long in terms of tech?
Of course. XUN6 isn’t a magical DD, it is just an average 6mm DD with slightly heavier punch on bass range. Basically DQ6 uses 10mm XUN + 6mm DD x2, so you can see Linlong basically utilizes one of DQ6‘s modified tweeter unit as its full range driver. It‘s good tuned, but hard to expect to compete any full size dynamic drivers. Single BA does better for that bullet size, since dynamic driver’s diaphragm size directly converts to moving parts and amount of energy it can carry. Even overdosed, it’s 6mm sounding, a compact sounding one.

Bullet size ones are more for sleeping buds.

So far the best bullet DD as far as I know is Astrotec Vesna (6mm LCP), but still It’s narrow ranged.

My MT3 quickly got quickly passed on to someone else via Santa's sack. Their new owner really likes them as his previous set of earbuds was down to one channel. I feel a little guilty.:triportsad:

The classical tuning is very rare one, ER4S flat diffusion field neutral, coming out of KZ family is simply astonishin. One day when Joyodio discounts their Shine to something like $30-40USD, I’d definitely try.
I don't think it is any worse than the ECCI YST-02. The lucky thing is that some profile might fit. I'm leaning towards the standard position, 1010 or 1000.

Some twitter feedbacks by lucky Japanese audiophiles getting deliveries of TRI Star River:
“ Star River produces “solid” timbre when paired with powerful DAPs, it matches better with less powerful USB DAC dongles. “

Random finding: e-earphone Akihabara store has renovated their elevator hall with Moondrop Lan waifu & Promo data😳 Wow, Japan.

Looks like single ended is the way to go or add an impedance adapter for the best sound.

Same impression to FloAudio Lily in my case. SE works better with balanced. Althogh Lily is a single BA and Star River is 10mm+6mm dual DD, they both have similar impedance Lily (30ohms 108db), StarRiver (32ohms 110db ) 🤔

Or VE Abigail Pro which is 4.4mm but power output is the same as a SE dongle 😅

TRI is not charging more for the pentaconn cable, so the best solution is your DAP or dongle feature a low gain mode

I could buy linglong for 7$, do you want me to buy one and try?
