The BAX hasn't gotten much attention, so it's hard to tell by the few reviews alone.
BGGAR wasn't a fan, but I don't pay much attention to any review that doesn't even attempt to replace the cable, tips, or EQ the problem areas. Not one headphone or IEM I have ever listened to was at it's best without EQ.
HBB wasn’t a fan of the Bax intensity. Yet he didn’t truly dislike the sound, he just wasn't fully positive about it. He ended kinda so-so about it. Actually I’m a fan of the included cable? It’s not bad at all. Truly I don’t even know why I love the Bax so much? While it’s a beast in a way, it also has finesse to what it does. Just the way it does bass and the total size of the soundstage, maybe is what separates it from many IEMs in it’s price point?

Exactly......if there was someone who wanted to use a phone, then would go home to use a desktop or DAP......the Bax has them covered. That was one special thing I noticed, and that level of being great from any source is actually rare in my searches.
And it works for many genres of music..........stuff like this isn’t always put into emphasis, yet those two concepts are important really in daily use.

Interesting stuff. The BAX has been on my radar for a while. Seems the reviews have been somewhat mixed but it remains on my potential buy list because of conversations like this one. It does appear that the BAX has a special quality about it.

I take my words back. The spare nozzles actually work but you need to put the filters on which they forgot to apply in factory and I have received them in a separate mail.
I was worried about this, so I asked in the official store, and they have just replied that they have checked it and all future purchases are sent with the filters applied, so good news.
Now, waiting for more impressions, but it seems like a good purchase for Ali summer sale.

BAX, Kirin and T1 Max arrived today. Running the BAX now and I'm liking it, but I'm noticing an immediate lack of resolution that I would expect at the price point. Not dialed in yet.
Burn-in.........50-100 hours. The resolution is there to a point, but will come as soundstage expands and bass becomes actualized. EST drivers totally require burn-in.

Immediate improvement with Spiral Dots and a Xinhs Graphene cable. Still needs EQ to tame those upper peaks and dips, but the low end is the BAX's highlight. It has a clean boost and lots of impact once you boost 7kHz too.
I hope an AutoEQ setting becomes available for the BAX. The stock tuning isn't ideal for me, but my rough EQ adjustments have made it really enjoyable so far. A fully crafted PEQ curve can get this on another level.
It kind of justifies the ability to have Sonion ESTs under a $300 price point in doing this. I would be livid if I spent $400-500 on this like most other Tribrids (I would just go back to my Hifiman Edition XS and call it a day for the same price).
First impression of the TA1 Max, its quite spectacular for the money. For $46 this is amazing, My first ever iem was the Simgot MT3 which blew my mind, having listened to $300 IEMs now and hearing these for the first time really puts into perspective how much you are getting for the price. Treble is crystal clear, one of the only IEMs where I cannot immediately tell that a BA is used in the driver configuration, and with some burn in time, the bass sounds like it will become eerily similar to my FiiO FD3. Scales with better amplification as well, playing from a phone does not do these justice. Soundstage is very wide but not tall. Everything that is supposed to reverb or echo comes across very well, lots of space and air to the sound up top, class leading (>$70). Instrument separation is decent, but still better than anything else I have heard at $46.
