I've been quite curious myself about the Trio reading all the recent posts. The only thing I've ever 'missed' on the rare occasion with my U12t is some real bass oomph, but from everything I've read about the Trio, I don't want the thinner mids and hotter highs of the Trio in exchange for extra bass. I want the U12t as-is with extra bass kick, in a universal IEM. Is that too much to ask for?
Now I haven't heard the U12T so this is just based on me having the Trio and trying multiple Empire Ears, Sony, Campfire Audio and Moondrop IEM's. I find the Trio (for me) has nearly the perfect bass. Could I use a little more? Sure, but not Empire Ears level bass. The bass is impactful enough for me to enjoy my EDM without feeling it's missing the mark. It's also held back enough to not overpower the overall sound. I don't find the mids all that recessed against these others. Maybe against the Solaris 2020, but that thing is really good except for that bass impact I crave. Also, the treble to me is similar to the Solaris 2020. I am very sensitive to sibilance or hot highs and almost all of the other IEM's I tried triggered that in some way. I don't get that same reaction to the highs on the Trio. They stand out enough to be energetic, but not enough to cause me a problem if that makes sense. So that's my two cents on it. Everyone's ears are different so YMMV.I've been quite curious myself about the Trio reading all the recent posts.

That's great feedback. I only mention thinner mids and hotter highs in relation to comparisons I've read with the U12t, not as absolute descriptors. Knowing 64A there won't be much out of place with any part of the FR on the Trio. Oddly enough I find the U12t bass more than powerful enough for the odd times I use them for EDM. If the Trio bass is elevated and more punchy by comparison, it'll likely more than suffice. That's why I was kinda hoping the Nio would be that U12t + punchier bass unicorn. We'll know soon enough.
Excellent! Good news.
To be fair though I am not using the 64 Audio cable or the eartips they provide so that's likely changing the sound signature for me as well. I'm using the Dunu Hulk cable and Azla Sedna eartips.
I know!That can give you a psychedelic trip if you stare at it for too long
Cheap???? I think some shrooms would be cheaper than those two.I know!
That's what I'm hoping for
Cheap thrills!
Yeah, but the picture is free!
Point taken.
Interesting. U12t would then probably be 'shallower' insertion compared to the Trio using the same size (depth) tips.If this helps, from my three year old review of Trio/U12t where I had Trio/Fourte lined up next to U12t/U18t. If you look at the nozzle plus the "hump" of hybrid designs it might add up to the same insertion depth as the nozzle and a small "hump" of all-BA designs.
