Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
TRN MT3 has a sound signature that is close to neutral and slightly toward the mid-high range.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The low end of the TRN MT3 is sufficiently linear and reaches quite deep.
Drum kicks have plenty of impact and weight, and the rumble is generally satisfying, although it seems a bit lacking.
The electric bass also sounds black, solid and expansive.
The bass is well drawn out and deep reaching, with a sense of heft that will satisfy bass lovers in its own way.
Mids
The midrange of The low TRN MT3 is almost completely neutral. It has a precise texture and is sufficiently glossy, crisp, and tight.
On the other hand, clarity is problematic, and the overall sound is flat and lacks a sense of three-dimensionality and depth in the musical expression. Also, because of the forward leaning of the structure itself, there is a sense that all sounds are heard a little too far forward. The midrange may feel a bit cramped for some people.
Although the texture is quite accurate and the sense of detail is quite excellent and detailed, vocals and instrumental sounds lack a sense of three-dimensionality, so the sound lacks vividness and the immersive experience is not as good.
Highs / Treble
High frequencies are also very well tuned, with excellent localization, although extension is a bit lacking.
The glossy mid and high frequencies are impressive and the level of definition is at a good level, so the overall impression will be one of luminance and shimmer, with every corner of the music being heard quite clearly.
Sibilance tends to be a bit strong, and there is a tendency for the t and s tones to be sharp, which is a concern in terms of listening comfort, although it depends on the volume level. The balance may be a bit harsh for those who are sensitive to high frequencies.
Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: A
- Recommendation: A-
- Personal preference: B
The TRN MT3 is a low-priced model that offers a relatively high level of bright, detailed, monitor-like sound. The audio specifications are generally considered to be above the price level, but the resolution is not very good, so while the sound is beautiful, it lacks a three-dimensionality and depth of expression, making it sound cheap.

General comment
The TRN MT3 is IEMs with a bright, detailed feel and a good sound balance that combines excellent localization and texture. The exterior design is also very good, and the build quality will bring you more satisfaction than the price. However, the resolution is in line with the price and its sound is very flat, lacking a sense of depth and sounding cheap.
