The TRN VX is a 7-driver hybrid in-ear monitor with a magnesium alloy housing, featuring a 10mm dual-magnet dynamic driver and six balanced armature drivers for detailed, balanced sound. It offers a wide frequency response from 7Hz to 40kHz and is available in dark green or knight black.
The TRN VX is a wired, seven-driver hybrid IEM combining a 10 mm dynamic driver with six balanced armatures per side, offering strong technical performance and detail retrieval for its budget-friendly price. It delivers a generally full and balanced sound with controlled bass, though its tuning can be polarizing, with some finding the upper mids and treble potentially harsh or fatiguing. Build quality and comfort are praised, but the stock cable and included accessories are often seen as underwhelming.

5 source(s) feeding this product's score.
Video reviews we found, each condensed to its verdict. They do feed the HearWiki score, at a measured weight below what a published written review carries.
7:58The reviewer finds the TRN VX to be an aggressive, lively-sounding hybrid IEM with a W-shaped signature, emphasizing treble energy and punchy bass, but notes it can be sibilant and fatiguing for casual listening. They prefer the TRN BA5 for its more relaxed tuning, though they acknowledge the VX's strengths in detail, staging, and bass depth, especially for monitoring use.
15:14The reviewer finds the TRN VX has sufficient bass and good detail, but the treble is overly hot and harsh, especially with cymbals and vocals, which ruins enjoyment of certain tracks. They suspect the balanced armature placed in the nozzle interferes with the dynamic driver's output, causing a metallic sound. Overall, they do not recommend it, preferring the TRN V90 instead.
9:59The reviewer finds the TRN VX to be a well-built, comfortable in-ear with an analytical, energetic sound signature. The bass is fast and agile, the upper midrange is pronounced and detailed, and the soundstage is wide, but the treble can become tiring over time. Overall, it's recommended for those who enjoy an exciting, sharp sound, but not for bass lovers or those sensitive to brightness.
9:31The reviewer finds the TRN VX to be a well-built hybrid earphone with good comfort and soundstage, but criticizes its overly bright treble and elevated lower treble/mids, which makes it fatiguing. He also considers it overpriced given the competition and the subpar included cable and packaging, suggesting a more restrained tuning and lower price would make it a better recommendation.
