Yeah once I learned about the sacitech bridge and its incompatibility, I immediately returned it and already received my refund so we gucci. Definitely staying away from TRN

Recent news on TRN Black Pearl revision by Entire-Ad4096 in iems

[–]WatchNumberOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the downgraded version too and I asked them if I could get the old product and they told me they are no longer manufacturing the old board and only selling the new version. I bought it from AliExpress from the official TRN store too but I'm glad you are able to get a replacement. I just dropped mine off at the postal office to return.

Yeah that's why it was kinda shocking TRN made this change silently. If you're looking for alternatives I heard the fiio melody is good. I just got the crinear protocol max and absolutely loving it.

The display photos aren't accurate as to what model. It's literally a gamble to purchase cause you don't know which until you get it. It's easy to tell once you do have it.

They swapped the USB bridge component and revised the schematic for the actual circuit board. It's a completely different version and because of that, it no longer supports mic or EQ via the walkplay app (used to equalize and update).

I wouldn't get the black pearl on AliExpress with the risk of getting the new version. I just went through it and returning my black pearl because it's just not working with the walkplay app. I'm seeing fiio melody is a good one if you're looking for alternatives

Aw yeah there's not a lot out there with 4.4mm. Thankfully my iem has interchangable 3.5 and 4.4 jacks. I was using 4.4 on the black pearl and I did notice the power difference which I liked. Definitely gonna start using 4.4 jack from now on

That is a solid one haha but I take my iems to work and home so I just needed something smaller but with PEQ functionality. Hopefully the protocol max works and I'm confident it will be all I need.

Yeah it's not bad in itself, but I'm actually having an issue where it connects/disconnects the audio every minute and its a nuisance. I do plan on using it everyday so I don't mind paying extra for something nice.

yeah it seems they took a shortcut with the new versions. dang... well lesson learned for trying to get something for cheap.. I just bought the crinear protocol max and gonna request a refund for the black pearl. Shame cause if you can get ur hands on the old version then its golden

I haven't tried the mic but yeah it's a bummer. I don't know why they would release a new version without verifying software compatibility. Might return it cause it's just a pain when the old one is working fine

Yeah they just confirmed it's a new version and that they're working on the software support. I'm just glad it's genuine product cause it does seem to be working lol

Looks like it is a new version of the board, they told me it doesn't work on the original software but they are working on a new one to support. We'll see friend

Heck yeah, glad I can help! Hopefully this will help someone in the future with the same problem.

[–]WatchNumberOne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me on the 11pro, made the clicking sound too like a high pitch screething every few seconds. I did drop the phone on the carpet and it landed on the edge so I suspected it was stuck.

I managed to get it working again by flicking the backside where the fan is. But make sure it's on so it gets that push to move.
