Similar problem for me yesterday, and same one as yours for my brother today (both of us ordered the Medusa). My unit passed the custom thought, while his it's still stuck with the same issue as yours. I suspect they had some problem at the sorting center, I don't think it's necessarily...

Not be that guy, but I have over 50 orders on AliExpress... and I'm kind of Italian too. You might consider trying out AliExpress for your orders. Although our customs can be quite strict, I've had all my packages clear without any issues! 🤣

They surely can help a lot - and I didn't find them anywhere before! Thank you very much for searching and sharing them! 😁 You make excellent sense to me. I have a lot of "technically" superior IEMs at my disposal, but recently I can't help but opt for the "cheaper" one, I'm not sure why - they...

I noticed the same: the bass is more prominent, and the sound opens up quite a bit, which can be perceived as a larger soundstage. The differences are all but marginal. Obviously, the amount of alteration, especially the soundstage one, is strictly DAC-related, but this only affects the "amount"...

I’m happy to have "recommended" it to you, especially considering that you like it so much! I really think it’s an amazing cable, particularly given its price. TRN is extremely fast on that front. Yesterday, they dispatched my Medusa in a matter of minutes after I ordered it. Thank you for...

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying hard to suppress my curiosity because it’s like opening a whole new can of worms (similar to my previous post about cables). But I can’t hold back any longer - and maybe I like to open new cans of worms from time to time? - so I have to ask: Do you always stick...

It happened to me a few times with AliExpress. Consider it an intermediate step: your package will go through import and export procedures in the Netherlands, and then continue on its way to your destination. It may take some more days than usual, though.

To his defense, he replies to so many messages that even by integrating quoting in his modus operandi, he would probably end up taking a page anyway, so there is that… 🤣 Anyway, I appreciate him for contributing considerably to the ‘liveliness’ of this thread! Give him some more time so that he...

Interestingly enough, for the launch of the KZ Libra, they created a scratch card system. In the box, you will find a card; if it’s a winning one, they will refund you the cost of the Libra. A very curious idea, indeed — I'm almost tempted! AliExpress Link EDIT: I forgot to mention that the...

The wait is finally over—sooner than expected, though. TRN has officially launched the Medusa on AliExpress for $49.99. With this coupon, you can get it for $37.99 $29.99, here you go: Code-KYVMAVXEFOJU. AliExpress link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007003045193.html As of now, the...

Recent TRN IEMs are unbelievably good. And no, I’m not a TRN employee; I’m just very enthusiastic about their products because, at least for now, I haven’t found a single TRN IEM that I didn’t fall in love with. Currently, I own the Orca, the Conch, and the ST7, and I’m quite fond of all of...

I could say the same for the Conch, the Orca, the ST7, the Krila, The Castor, the D-Fi… man, even the EDX Lite. The fact is that considering the current state of the market, you could potentially limit yourself to the $20-30 bracket and still be completely satisfied by the experience offered by...

The Conch is an incredible IEM. Personally, I believe it’s still the best value IEM you can get in 2024. I would even go so far as to say it’s probably the first IEM I’d recommend if someone asked me for a recommendation on their first earphone purchase in this hobby. It comes with a really...

Brace yourself—potentially controversial post ahead. Yesterday, I was unprepared for what was about to unfold. It all began innocently enough: “I’m curious about how my ST7 sounds with its stock cable…” but it quickly escalated to a more profound question: “How can different cables alter IEMs...

Tried the Delci with the same song on both of my DACs, no sibilance for me. Also, I’m pretty sure this song would cause sibilance on 9/10 of my IEMs. There were so many high-pitched S, that I had to double check it was not a snake singing. 🎶🐍

Let me just leave it here... The latest addition to TRN Aquatic series: TRN Medusa (=Jellyfish) The official price is yet to be announced. Personally, I'll probably end up buying it just for the design (let alone the fact that recently TRN is on fire - pun intended). The price should be...

Thank you very much for the explanation! Now, as a result, I find their choice even more perplexing. Previously, the nylon filters were "shielded" by the metal grills, protecting them from both physical damage and dirt (such as earwax, sweat, and dust). However, now they are practically a...

With all due respect, why do KZ (and by extension, CCA) recently decided to use nylon nozzles filters for all their IEMs? They feel extremely cheap, attract dirt easily, and it’s almost impossible to clean them. It’s not as if using better materials would significantly impact the cost either...

You described the experience they offer extremely well. Also, thank you for providing the graph for them! (which seems to align perfectly with the official one). As a side note, yes, they have QDC connectors. May I ask if you have only tried them with the provided cable? I ask this because I...

Very different IEMs. Also, I would say it’s very tricky to do a proper comparison between the two because the Conch offers various sound profiles thanks to its tuning nozzles. To keep things simple, I will focalize mainly on the Conch with its default Reference nozzle. Overall, the Conch...

There has to be a good story behind this emoji, it smells of ancient Head-Fi history: :deadhorse:

Shhh... or Nintendo will unleash its lawyers! I bet they are hungry.

Today I tried the TRN Orca again after some time, and I have to say it’s a really solid all-rounder. Think of it as a Kefine Delci with less sub-bass emphasis, more mid bass, and slightly more treble energy (this in its default 000 configuration). Instead of a DLC driver, it features an LCP...

The FiiO KA17 (set to Mini SD), offers me a very similar, if not identical, experience to the one you are describing. It gives the ST7 a slight bass boost and adds warmth in general. The high mids and treble sound enchanting: very precise yet smooth like cream, without even the slightest amount...
