Packaging
  • TRN MT4 Pro
  • 3 pairs of generic silicone ear tips (S, M, L)

    • 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.
