TRN VX pro

TRN has recently introduced TRN VX pro as their latest hybrid IEM retailing at sub 100$ range using a 1DD+8BA driver setup. Even at a budget price, the quality of earpieces is top-notch with full metallic housing. The stock cable on the other hand feels a bit degraded to the overall build quality. The IEM is very much comfortable to wear and its design is very ergonomic and elegant.



Disclaimer: 
I have received TRN VX pro as part of the review circle sent from Hifigo in exchange for honest reviews. All impressions of sound are subjective to my own listening and my sources and are based on my experience with IEMs of similar hardware configurations and price ranges. The IEM can be purchased at: https://hifigo.com/products/trn-vx-pro


Sources:
For this review, the unit has been paired to LG V30+ and Shanling M6 (AK4495EQ). 


Pros:
1) Lavish quantity of bass
2) Easy to drive and very well-tuned V-Shaped Signature
3) Weighted mids
4) Comfortable fit
5) Good Build quality and well accessorized
Cons:
1) Bass can be boomy and bloated at times
2) Average Resolution with mild peaks in treble
3) Stock cable feels a bit low quality, IEM shines with upgraded cables.


Highs:
The TRN VX pro offers a typical V-Type signature. The treble region is a bit boosted and is very well extended. The overall presentation is very airy. The detailing in the treble region is quite average. But the overall tonality is very good. Unlike other multi-driver IEMs of this range which are prone to sibilance, VX Pro does a much better job. During my testing it never became harsh or sibilance whatsoever tracks I threw to it.

Mids:
The mid-range is laid back and relaxing. The mid-tones are rich and the vocals sound lush. Overall the mids sound engaging. The instrument details and textures are quite nicely done for the price. The overall texture and tonality have a slight organic touch to them.

Lows:
The bass does get boomy, I would say talking in terms of quantity is too much and can fill in all the desires of a casual basshead, but in terms of quality, I would say it's not that clean. At times it does feel overpowering but not to such extent to cause any fatigue. Talking about the sub-bass, the IEM does a decent job as well. 

Technicalities: 
The staging capabilities of TRN VX pro are quite good. The overall depth and width feel very good although it is not that precise yet fills the complete headroom. The separation and details are average. 


Final Verdict:
In a nutshell, I would say that TRN VX pro is a typical V-shape IEM, Mids do feel a bit recessed and generally pushed to the background but has good timber and sounds well-weighted and organic. The treble and bass performance is quite good and in this price range, it’s a monster IEM with a 1DD+8BA driver setup. I do recommend upgrading the cable to a better for the much-improved performance.

Tipsy Dunmer: A Fun Loving Dark Elf

Image
Dunmer is the new product from Tipsy, a Chinese company created in 2016. Dunmer is Tipsy's entry in Budget IEMs arena where it will face fierce competition with a variety of dual and Single driver earpieces. At a first glance, Dunmer looks like a decent IEM with charismatic looks, feel and beautiful design. The faceplate is of shiny black-grayish colour with resin coating that gives it a silky appearance. It has the brand-name Tipsy written over it in silver with a rather horror-show kind of font and reminds of the Dunmer (Dark Elves) in The Elder Scrolls. It is equipped with a 9.2mm graphene diaphragm double dynamic magnetic circuit /double cavity patented structure. The curvature and shape are smooth and provide a comfortable fit. It has a 2-pin connector with 8-Core SPC stock cable that's standard for an IEM of this range now a days. It also comes with a nice old-school faux leather pouch.
