I’d also avoid the black and yellow “Tiger” cable. The 8 core Tiger cable has overly thin gauge conductors inside the black (ground) wires, with the rest of the cable thickness being super thick rubber insulation. Kind of like a big potato chip bag having 7 chips inside, and the rest of the bag is filled with air. You’re paying for potato chips, not air.
Technically, you are paying for the bag with the expectations for the content.
I have few TRN 16-core T2 and one T3 (pure silver). Nothing technically wrong, but nothing impressive either. They have some smell (likely plasticizers in non-expensive PVC insulation). If you pay less - you get less.
My favourite branding of the products of the same wire factory is KB Ear. They are just a touch above (no any affiliation, just an observation from 20+ cables acquired for the audio-colour-therapy)

I've decided to wait for some fresh, correctly sized comply foam tips to arrive from Amazon, before I compare these earphones. I just can't get a consistent fit with my IEM's without them anymore.
Just briefly comparing all 3, I can say the BA5 and the DM7 sound quite similar. The dm7 sounds more polite in the treble than the BA5, otherwise, again, these two sound quite similar.
BA5 compared to Fiio FH7 shows more immediate differences. On its own, the FH7 can sound wide/expansive, but sounds intimate in comparison to the BA5. The BA5 sounds more lively overall, wider.

in addition to that it has a nice graphical summary of all characteristics in scores

caveat: impressions only in combination with a custom cable from Nicehck (16-core):
>Reviewer has matched the cable with the TRN BA5 and decided to use a pure copper wire braided with 16 of NiceHCK in this review. Therefore, please readers that understand that The commentary and diagnosis of the points in this review are mainly based on the sound received from the use of this cable.
Positive accolades doesn't really rain on one's parade.... I would agree that the BA5 are well worth the $50. The point of the comparison was to surmise how well they performed against more expensive sets. The verdict is that they hold up very very well. Besides a little hotness in the uppers, nothing to complain about. The build is very satisfying as well.

If you prefer warmer sound TRN IM2 is for the same price with same DD, shell and 1 BA extra. If you like brighter and more detailed sound, but less bassy, then TRN ST1 is here. And if you dont like hybrids, then everyone recommends for QKZ VK4, or BLON-03. That's probably why almost no one buys H2.
