Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • Satisfactory technical performance. Handles basic detail retrieval adequately in most tracks. Maintains reasonable cohesion in simpler arrangements.
Bass B-
Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.
Mids A-
Excellent midrange with natural timbre and great detail retrieval. Vocals are forward and emotive with lifelike instrument reproduction.
Treble C+
Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.
Dynamics C-
Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.
Details C+
Decent detail retrieval. Handles most textures adequately though micro-details and ambient cues could be more pronounced.
Imaging C+
Decent positional accuracy. Good left/right placement with acceptable center image, though depth positioning is approximate.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

B- Tuning
C+ Tech

The TRN IM1 is a budget 1DD+1BA hybrid with detachable 0.75 mm 2-pin connectors and a lightweight, custom-style shell. Specs list a single 8 mm dynamic driver plus a balanced armature per side, aligned with retailer and review listings . Typical street pricing sits in the low-$20s, keeping it in entry-level territory . :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Sonically, the IM1 leans V-shaped: punchy, elevated bass with lively treble, while the midrange sits a touch behind. Review measurements and notes point to audible mid-bass bleed and occasional sibilance on hot recordings, though detail in the upper range is present for the class . Community impressions broadly match: energetic, fun tuning with a smooth-ish but sometimes spicy top end for the price . :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Technicalities are serviceable: staging and separation are average, but isolation is strong and the fit is stable and comfortable for long sessions—useful traits at this price . If a neutral/Harman balance is the goal, the bass emphasis will feel overdone; if a budget “fun” set for pop and EDM is needed, the IM1 remains a viable nostalgic pick. Just be aware of the treble peaks and bass coloration before diving in. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
