What reviewers said

These wired in-ear monitors deliver a well-rounded, balanced signature that suits critical listening, backed by a solid hybrid driver setup and premium build quality.

- Con:Limited low-bass impact
- Con:Soundstage feels narrow due to in-ear fit

TRN VX
The TRN VX is a budget-friendly seven-driver hybrid IEM that packs a 10mm dynamic driver alongside six balanced armatures per side, aiming for flagship-style technical performance at a sub-$100 price point. Its build quality is generally praised, and it offers good comfort and EQ flexibility, though opinions split on its tuning: some find it balanced and enjoyable, while others note recessed mids, fatiguing treble, or an incoherent bass-to-mid transition. The included cable and accessories are commonly cited as below average, but the detachable cable and lightweight design add practical value for the price.
- Pro:Strong technical performance and detail retrieval for the price
- Pro:Solid build quality with a lightweight, comfortable fit
- Pro:Detachable cable and good response to EQ adjustments
- Con:Treble can become harsh or fatiguing, especially in the upper mids
- Con:Recessed mids and an inconsistent bass-to-mid transition in some units
- Con:Stock cable is below average and accessories are sparse
