The guy tried everything he could to tame treble before sharing his impressions. Hope he is not disappointed
TRN impressions thread

Thanks for the input! I read the impression and had the same feeling. The impression writing sounded like it's U-shaped, and on the cooler side.
Also from the perspective, the reviewer uses Comply and mentioned in favor of warmer / bass-oriented sound which did not fit well with BA15, at least some clue of how BA15 sounds like! Seemingly not a total disaster, I'd like to try if the price falls below half of that asking $200 simply from the curiosity point of view, how TRN could overcome messy BA sector which KZ seemed failed with ASX (not to harm anyone but, as an owner of ASX, it's could have done some tuning for phasing).
I have a doubt about instrument positioning though.

No idea what this particular person's deepest truth is, but you could probably say this about quite a lot of enthusiastic posts on this forum.
Doubt anyone has dared to pay the asking price. IMO only reviewers would have got the sample by now. It will be interesting to see how TRN's debut in the $200 segment turns out. Hope it is something similar to their Golden Earphones.
Lol totally forgot that $15k golden IEM. I think it’s an April fools but it’s actually on sale
Kinda interested unguided 15BA would sound like, I can Imagine a hot mess.
LOL they upped the price of the TRN golden ears to $25000 USD now. Probably sales are doing so well they can even afford a price gouge. Don't miss it, only 20 pieces left!!!

Hahahaha. Looks like most Chinese billionaires have already got a few pieces. Wish they add more stocks, I absolutely want to buy them as soon as I find a good buyer of my kidneys and probably 90% of my bodyLOL they upped the price of the TRN golden ears to $25000 USD now.

TRN gets R&D fund from billionaires!Hahahaha. Looks like most Chinese billionaires have already got a few pieces. Wish they add more stocks, I absolutely want to buy them as soon as I find a good buyer of my kidneys and probably 90% of my body
I’m pretty sure that 999 pure gold used is like 1 or 2 oz, which is $2-4k usd. Over 20k usd contribution margin!

after a quick listen, pretty similar to EDX i guess, just a bit less v-shaped. won't be surprised if they are using the same driver, so probably just down to personal preference between the two. like the EDX, pretty great value for money at around 8 SGD.
just realised it says 10mm "Dyuamic" driver... Man, what is up with TRN and typos. The TA1's box had the wrong info about the driver config too. lol.

Poor attention to detail, I guess. I have a hard time getting into TRN due to continuously poor QC. Cables that aren't properly soldered, iems that stop working (or just don't work at all) after a short time, bluetooth adapters/dac amps that don't connect...I'm not cool with wasting my money on stuff like that. This company has the potential (and the products that are actually contenders for great sound), but they blow it with poor QC. Who wants to buy upgrade cables, that have strands that aren't even soldered to the connectors? Who wants to buy iems that stop working when there's some humidity in the air? Who wants to buy a wireless bluetooth dac/amp to connect your iems to, that won't connect to your device easily? Not me. Yes, I know that there are many who haven't had problems. But there are also many that have. Sorry, but I'm not willing to chance my money on something that seems designed to fail. I like longevity and expect stuff I buy to give me years of enjoyment, with proper care and use. Don't get me wrong: I'm not expecting an iem from China to live as long as a Macintosh amp, but I expect at least for it to work ootb...plus 2-4 years. TRN stuff doesn't even work properly alot of the time, the moment you open the box.just realised it says 10mm "Dyuamic" driver... Man, what is up with TRN and typos. The TA1's box had the wrong info about the driver config too. lol.
Imagine if that QC albatross happened to the $25000 USD TRN Golden Ears!

My measure of trn ba15
They are very great, I just put foam tips included for warmer sound. But it's a very very great full ba iem.
Clearly better than cca c16, more balanced than ba8, very very very very detailed.
It supports all music styles ( less the metal ). Absolutely incredible in classical music genre.
It can be too treble oriented on some music and must be used at home to profit of all details purposed.
But isolation is good, they are not too big.
Trn does a very great job, 15 ba could be a big fail like asx, but it's clearly not the case.
Good ba bass with great presence ( but stay a ba bass and not enough for fun genre )
Great and warm mids, very detailed,
Very detailed high, but might be elevated, not really aggressive, no sibilance got the moment, just too much volume for me.
The soundstage is large and deep, but not the most large I listen
Honestly I was curious and afraid after asx, but we can see the work on it. For classical genre is just a must, THE choice for me

Any hints of BA timbre? Is the Macro detail balance with the micro?
