TRN MT1 Review - Affordable In Ear Monitor

Here is my review of the single DD per side from TRN called the MT1. A better product in my opinion than the similarly priced KZ EDX that I owned.

Very cool, mine are still in the mail. Bassy, fun, and very affordable. Sounds good to me. Thanks for the review.

Nice review man, mine just arrived and yeah you're right it does get tangled easily

[BarRYK]

When I put on Metalica enterssandman you can tell they are tuned directly with that song. Thanks for the vid!

What usb c to 3.5mm will u recommend to pair with this trn mt1? I bought it after watching your review. Loving it!

Great review! They definitely fit my preferred listening.. These iems actually sound nice in phone headphone out. Using an amp made them really boomy and giving loose bass. They might sound better if I get a silver cable for them. I'll see or hear when I got the silver cables

I got myself TRN T2 cable, and found that TRN cable C-pin style does not fit into EDX, and there's a difference, that QDC and TRN C-Pin has a thicker sheath around the pins, and the socket sits entirely outside the earphone shell; but on EDX the socket is recessed, and part of the plug sheath dives into the shell, so the thickness there matters. Additionally if you did fit the TRN C-Pin cable in, the angle of the connector is too steep, or maybe because the connector is shorter, and it's rubbing on the ear, quite unpleasant.

I got T2 cable because it was cheap and it's a good looking cable with all the cores you could want, and i should have gotten the straight 0.75 rather than the C-pin, looks better too, but another thing that disappointed me was the horrible smell, that hasn't gone away in months.

Now i have straight 2-pin JCAlly cable, 8-core, using with EDX, and that's been quite pleasant to wear. But it's not a perfect aesthetic fit.

MT1 coming out is quite fortunate. I was thinking of getting another EDX, but i might get MT1 instead. I can then use the T2 cable on them when the smell finally dissipates.

I find that the KZ Starline tips introduce a bit of shout of their own. I wonder if most of the difference betwen MT1 sound and EDX sound is in the tips. The specs look suspiciously similar. Also besides, using my own tips on EDX, i also put a 4mm punched out piece of medical plaster tape on each nozzle, which has attenuated the shoutiness to where it's basically completely gone. Funnily enough the top end probably isn't really affected much at all, there's a lot of energy above 16KHz as i noticed recently, which is a little astounding.

Just got my MT1….preburnin…..mids and vocals recessed, after 5 hrs veiled….mid to upper bass bleeding into lower mids, treble lacks sparkle, high mids bleeding into lower treble range…eartips ok, replaced w spare XELASTECS sound better. Cable tangles, but good connections. L and R on each IEM and cable 2 pin connector musta been designed by Stevie Wonder!……gonna do full burnin since DD respond well to burnin….my guess the sound will get better….prob buy a cheap upgrade cable. Do a follow up pls after u burn yours in, thx!

If you are a musician and you play guitar or drums you will like this. Not a deep V shape that most like, the bass and treble is not highly elevated or boosted it is a bit relaxed tuning.

Hello Sir.. Very nice review.. In your opinion, which one do your prefer? KZ EDX Pro or TRN MT1? .. i'm more into EDM and Rock Music.. i'm confuse to buy between this two and also new with IEM ..

[arivintejalakam]

*It would be nice if you throw qkz vk4 in to the comparison if you have that set*

[thereaper]

Hey, any idea on how to tell if a unit is fake or real? Mine just arrived and it sounds kinda off!

[adeebs]

This or Edx pro for heavy metal/ progressive rock/ classic rock listener?

[iamwatchingthisvid.]

I have vk4.... Are they similar tuning? Which has more details? I was planning to buy different IEM this was in my list...

[cocosoy]

What type of cable does TRN MT1 using or have? So that I will know what cable to buy when my cable of mine worn out. Sorry, Im new to the IEM's 😅

[kugaththeplaguefather]

how do you know the bluetooth is on? And is it even Bluetooth?

[seanvicary]

Hi, I'm new to IEMS. How do you know which way round the cable goes? Does it have a left and right indicator?

Cheers

[hanquah]
