Packaging
- TRN MT4 Pro
- 3 pairs of generic silicone ear tips (S, M, L)
- 1 pair of TRN T-Tips (M)
- 2 pin cable
- Cable is absolutely unusable for me, it tangles very often and is not comfortable for me even during shorter usage.
Review
- TRN T-Tips being included for a product in this price range is very surprising to me, but only one size is available, so if it doesn't fit ... it is going to be a little of a waste in my opinion.
- The MT4 Pro is built extremely well for the price, it has a very good heft to it with a metal faceplate and resin shell.
- However, it does feel somewhat heavy after extended use and its not exactly a small shell.
- Fit is quite good for me though.
- Thin, Harman signature
- Bass
- Sub bass over mid bass.
- Decently deep and rumbly sub bass with a thin mid bass.
- Overall bass lacks body but tight and well defined.
- Midrange
- Lower midrange is a little too clean, lacking a bit of warmth and lushness.
- On the other hand, upper midrange is quite energetic and engaging, making female vocals sounding forward and smooth.
- Treble
- Treble is somewhat grainy and unrefined, not the smoothest but it has enough sparkle without being overly fatiguing.
- Surprisingly, it has good treble extension, which is unusual for an IEM in this price range.
- Technicalities
- Technicalities is good for the price but not ground breaking.
- Good resolution, decently wide stage, and nothing sounds overly congested even on busier tracks.
- Overall, I think that the TRN MT4 Pro is an easy recommendation for an IEM at this price bracket if you're into a Harman-ish signature with a thinner, lighter presentation that will not be overly harsh.
- However, if you are looking for a more fun and smoother IEM, I suggest looking at something else. Furthermore, you may have to spend extra for a better cable or an additional carrying case.
