Review by 'BX700' on item 'Creative Aurvana Trio'
Bought these used based on previous review, and have thereby got myself a bargain reference pair. Neutrally tuned and generally giving the feeling of detailed, clear, accurate reproduction of the music: hearing it as intended. Very tastefully tuned, although I can accept some unnatural colouring...- BX700

Is it okay to wear the cable straight down with IEM's instead of behind the ears?
Hi, I prefer cable down too. Someone posted on here that a particular over-ear model (UE900) could be worn cable down with left and right sides reversed, and I found it to be true: I can get as good a seal as over ear. Have since tried this with a second over-ear IEM, and it was viable. Can't...- BX700

TRN impressions thread
Mixed reviews apparently but I like the BA8: speed, detail, soundstage, timbre. Should I look out for a pair of BA15s/BA16s or will I be disappointed? How are they different? Full disclosure: I dropped one unit and can't be sure the performance hasn't been affected. [edit] I seem to have found...- BX700

Audio paranoia: dropped one (BA) IEM and feel like there's a barely perceptible drop in volume on that side, just can't confirm it. Not the first time it's happened. Anyone else experienced this? Can't enjoy listening with that niggling doubt :slight_frown:- BX700

Cheap and cheerful cable-down IEMs
Good market in Japan for cable down IEMs. My best find so far has maybe been the Ashidavox HF-EA1: single large DD with, apart from weighty and well extended bass, nice detail, nice airy treble, natural timbre, good seperation and space. There's an upgraded version too, which I haven't tried yet.- BX700

All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)
At the risk of being called out for not having read the thread, what's the most significant recent advance in BA tech to look for in your opinion, though?- BX700

All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)
Yeah... what I'm really looking for is detail/price bargains, even at the expense of other characteristics, inc. older models. Got the BA8s for about 50 used, an unexpected find which I may not replicate for a while.- BX700

All-Balanced Armature IEMs (Discussions & Comparisons)
Don't feel able to criticise the BA8s much because they're objectively technically better than anything I've heard. I will say I don't find them harsh though,and the bass beats any DDs or hybrids I've heard for body and accuracy. You've heard higher end sets than I have though: better...- BX700

For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?
Just got a pair of TRN BA8s, relistening to a techno playlist in new definition. Have a few IEMs, these are technically better than any of them.- BX700

Musical Fidelity EB-50 appreciation thread
Surprising bass body and extension for a single BA. [edit] Tried another tip (soft silicone, large aperture) and am (more) sold on these. Soundspace is much improved.- BX700

Comment by 'BX700' in item 'TRN BA8'
Just picked a pair of these up for a good price, enjoying them a lot out the box. Extension is good at both ends, detail is very good and they're fast but the sound is tempered such that they don't sound forward/harsh in the slightest. All bands are weighted appropriately: maybe not perfectly...- BX700
