Would love to see your impressions on these. TRN is a very young and interesting company.

Much appreciated And also the new F3, Chi-Fi got so innovative these days. Specification game is tight.

I think it could be a game changer it must be high resolving

i hope so, i got the CCA C16 before a week, they are in similar price range, should be interesting to compare them, C16 is very good not great though

Sennheiser, the world's best headphone company according to innerfidelity's Tyll Hertsens, had been resting on their laurels for a while -- at least in the iem sector. They have just released an interesting new in-ear monitor, the $99 ie40 Pro...which will be followed by the ie400 and ie500 next month.

Biodegraded and I have just released a very thorough double review of the ie40 Pro on our own blog...my part will go up on Head-Fi asap (Biodegraded it not a Head-Fier).

Thanks. Also, the music and recording engineering have changed, at least the popular one: early 1960s Bert Kaempfert recordings sound superb. I listen to a lot of classical music when evaluating earphones.

In the meantime has my neighbour been over the ie40 Pro and initially reports a U-shape but doesn't find them too offensive on either end.

3 days - sent mine back as NOT suitable for purpose. they have a lot of nerve calling them 'monitor items' They are just weird. they choose seemingly random parts of the mix and just
throw it far out to the left or right irrespective of everything else. They sound too forced - great if you are community and want to her stuff but apart from that....
If they sold them for $30 then yes ok...maybe

Like the complete lie they told a few months back saying they had created a new headphone that was tuned almost exactly like their legendary HD 250 - Was just a typical modern day immature bloated inaccurate bass mess
I should have known though because they marketed it for 'creators' and had little plastic flaps on the side for you to slip in a bit of paper with your companies logo on !?!
You would appreciate the joke that is if you own a pair of the HD 250. One of the best closed back [at least vintage] headphones ever made
If I had the money I would have sued them for the joke that headphone was and the outright lie that they had tuned it the same as the HD 250
I have no confidence in this company anymore

Sorry but writing 'pro' on the IE 40 is also, frankly an insult

My co-author has the 250 if I am rightly...will ask him...yes he has...and he finds them very bright.
