Thank you, been waiting for this one! Almost bought it for $10 during early bird but decided against it since I just got the ARTTI T10 and ordered Katacco. It looked great, will wait to see if the price gets that low again, doesn't look like it will for 11/11. I love the blue! Actually think I'll skip this one, but have plenty of good Harman tuned IEMS plus Castor bass and v8o. Will wait for something different. Maybe modify the Bl03 now that I've replaced it.
TH-cam is all over the place as far as volume is concerned. There is a lot of channels on TH-cam that are not as loud as Akros. There is no standard is part of the problem.
@@fiddlix Yeah interesting. And actually this particular video, is pretty loud for me, and I had to lower the volume! There have been other Akros videos that i have had to boost up the volume. Also, the sibilant 's' I always get from Akros videos; I guess people use pop-filter, to their mike, to solve that issue.
Hey Tony! I figured you would get A kick out if this. I ordered FZ AUDIO Liberty Max to see if it was as good as the Z2. It's not but it has potential, it will become a modding project. Great build and very nice looking. I've suspected that FZ uses TRN products though the store told me they are not affiliated. The MAX uses the same faceplate as the BAX I think. Now I get it and one shell has "TRN TA2 DD + 2 BA KNOWLES", the other one "TRN TA2 Hybrid". So I look up the TA2 and sure enough they have one with a light blue resin shell. At the very least they are being made at the same warehouse. FZ is seems to be a motorcycle parts business, wonder if their parts also come from that warehouse and they saw an opportunity with a side hustle. The MAX used to be advertised as 7mm driver, now it's 8mm which had me scratchimg my head. Interestingly the TA2 has an 8mm DD. Hmmm... No ba's tho. Maybe I could get Hi-Fri to tear it apart. Also the Z2, $5, still one of my favorites despite my growing collection of higher priced, great sounding IEMS. Its a fun sound stock but becomes a beast with EQ and or tape/filter mod. Looks like the TXS uses the same driver. I think that's ftom a TRN sister company? Watched Hifri tear TXS down, driver looks identical. I know you think the TXS is underrated which makes me suspect even more it's probably the same driver, same factory. Can you suggest some good single DD 7/8mm that I cN look up on Squig for EQ references? These don't sound like Ian's graph, dark bass heavy, nor like his description. Underwhelming bass, bright but mids are pushed back. They recently sold out of the 7mm and didn't have stock for months and just came back with this supposed 8mm version. Suspect new driver and tune. I'd also love mod suggestions to open up mids and bass. Have been too rolling but needs a mod.
Both are excellent. Bass version is tremendous fun....Harmon is very correct sounding....depends on what you listen too mostly.....if EDM and HIP hop...Bass....if vocals, instrumentals...Harmon
@@akros9333 Hi akros, do you think castor, and tanchjim ones, are good choice for someone getting into iem if not. What other you would recommend other than those 2, under $30.
@@akros9333 thank you. I’ll get them for myself as a christmas gift this 11.11 lol thanks for your reviews as well. Barely anybody actually reviews trn iems
I wouldn't say it's a fail.....it's a marked improvement over the original MT4. The problem is that there's the Castor which is better and also they should have tuned it just a little more energetic in the upper mids and treble. That would have given the right balance.
@@akros9333 Okay, I only listen to instrumental game music, and vocals. So ill go for the harman, and tanchjim one. How do the Tanchim one and castor harman compare? in technialities, would it be worth to get both?
Hey Akros, glad to hear your improved video sound quality.
my TRN mt4 was messed up internally I hope that QC is better now when it comes to pro version
Thanks for the review, I noticed that the sound is mostly shifted to the right ear in your videos.

Looking forward to your review of KZ PR3
Hey Akros, how come your videos are less loud than most vids on TH-cam? I have to up the volume a few notches every time I visit yiur channel.
TH-cam is all over the place as far as volume is concerned. There is a lot of channels on TH-cam that are not as loud as Akros. There is no standard is part of the problem.

hes also soft spoken.

Hi, thanks for the great reviews as always, I see there are 2 version of castors, the harman and the improved bass, which one you reccomendend?
Both are excellent. Bass version is tremendous fun....Harmon is very correct sounding....depends on what you listen too mostly.....if EDM and HIP hop...Bass....if vocals, instrumentals...Harmon
Hey Tony!I'm very interested in your version, I'd like to try out using your programme, do you want to go ahead and share it?
Akros, are you using stock foam tips on the Castor? Great review, thanks
Yes I am!
@@akros9333 Hi akros, do you think castor, and tanchjim ones, are good choice for someone getting into iem if not. What other you would recommend other than those 2, under $30.
Thought it was the BQEYZ Wind at first glance.

Hi Akros !!
It arrived just yesterday, the blue one !!
Why does it say ''TRN x HBB'' on the front panel ??
Because it was too be a collaboration with HBB
@@akros9333
It's strange that HBB didn't mention this in his channel !!
Does it block the sound from outside well? I’m planning to use it on a small stage (church for example)
Yes in my ears I got good isolation
@@akros9333 thanks for answering. The video was really helpful as well

KZ all the way
still kailua is best dual dd for me 'a budget xenns top'😁😁😁😁
I don't like the QVC connector
another failed again for TRN that was sad. its better to mark down their price double.
I wouldn't say it's a fail.....it's a marked improvement over the original MT4. The problem is that there's the Castor which is better and also they should have tuned it just a little more energetic in the upper mids and treble.
That would have given the right balance.
@@akros9333 review superTFZ Queen 2023 next? I think these 3 compete against each other.
@@akros9333 So you recommend the castor(bass or harman edition) over this, for the same price?
@@georgepierre3594 yes get the Castor....I would go Harman, but the Bass is alot of fun
@@akros9333 Okay, I only listen to instrumental game music, and vocals. So ill go for the harman, and tanchjim one. How do the Tanchim one and castor harman compare? in technialities, would it be worth to get both?
