TRI Starsea is a triple Driver (2 BA, 1DD. 1 Knowles ED-29689 for mids & 1 custom designed BA for highs & a single 8mm Dynamic Driver for the low end.) IEM that retails for a pretty affordable 130 USD!
The build quality is excellent, The German imported Resin housing looks absolutely amazing and it fits nicely! and the fact that it comes with 2 tuning switches with 4 different sound signature option is an added bonus!
I'll try to keep the review short and sweet!
Packaging:
It comes in a lovely premium box that includes
-Hardshell carrying case.
-8 core silver plated pure ofc copper cable.
-Cleaning cloth.
-9 pairs of silicone eartips ( 3 different types in 3 pairs).
-2 pairs of foam eartips.
-Warranty card and Documentation
-A tool for changing the tuning
Sound profile:
The TRI Starsea comes with two switches that can make the IEM sing differently! The Settings are:
1. The Exquisite tone ( The Brightest one, both switches down )
2. Balanced Tuning ( The flattest and most neutral tuning, both switches up)
3. Amazing Bass ( The fun sounding profile, Slightly V shaped tone, Switch 1 up, Switch 2 down)
4. Beautiful Vocals ( It pushes the mids more forward, Switch 1 down, Switch 2 up)
I loved using the Balanced tuning, though the V shaped tuning sounds great and I think most of the people with prefer that!
My review is written using the Balanced tuning.
Sound Quality:
The Bass: (4/5)
If you want something that kicks your head like crazy and thumps you heart up, this is not the IEM!
The bass is clean, clear and some of the best under 200$ if you like a balanced sound!
The bass here is well controlled, And done just right!
The amount is adequate, The texture is good, the bass is not sloppy at all, It's agile and nimble, the texturing is done really well!
There is no bass bleed on the mids.
It shines on the mid bass while it lacks some sub bass ( The amazing bass settings helps overcoming this, but again, the the deepest)
The Mids: (4.3/5)
The mids on Starsea is absolutely amazing, It is forward and it sounds lush and weighty, specially if you pair it with a warm sounding source.
The detail and the clarity is superb for the price!
The Treble: (4.5/5)
The treble is where Starsea shines!
The extension is excellent, it sounds natural, not fatiguing at all.
It sounds airy and it got enough spacing that nothing sounds crowded!
The treble is sparkly without having noticable sibilance.
Final Verdict:
If you are looking for a great sounding IEM without busting the bank, this is it!
The only downside is it can be source picky.
So better get a warm sounding DAC+AMP with it, or use it with a DAP!
And sometimes it gives this air tight feeling.
But for 130$ this is a no brainer!
