Review and comparison: the TRN BT1 and KZ SKS are two $30 TWS from AliExpress. Tested vs Fiil T1 Lite, QCY T5, and Realme Buds Air 2 Neo.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The TRN BT1 offers a balanced and spacious sound signature, making it a solid choice for classical and acoustic music at a budget price. While it features a hybrid dual-driver setup and IPX5 water resistance, its call quality, battery life, and video performance leave room for improvement. Overall, it's a capable entry-level TWS, though saving up for a slightly pricier alternative may be worthwhile.

The KZ SKS looks great, has decent battery life, and comes with a low-latency mode that works well - but thanks to its nauseous, bulbous bass, it isn't a very friendly allrounder for listening to music. The TRN BT1 is quite the opposite. It sounds balanced and spacious enough to perform classical and more acoustic music with great ease. Still, even at this entry-level price, the call quality, battery life, and video performance could be better. The winner between these, with waterproof rating, more wind-proof earbuds, and better sound quality, is the TRN BT1. Still - it may be worth it to save up a few dollars more for better alternatives.
