How is it compared to the spring 1? As far as details and everything else. Thanks for sharing this. Also if by any chance you had a chance to listen to the shouer tape how it stacks against the trn and the bqeyz
I think the Spring 1, Tin P1 and Shouer Tape are in a higher class of Headphones but that said for the price thus far this is a unbelievable details oriented IEM.
how do you compare this to the shozy form 1.1, after your review with the shozy i got one blind buy and I'm happy with it, very satisfied specially the price
The Shozy is a fun and fantastic IEM , I wouldn't compare the two because I really like what they both bring to the table and them being so different in configuration. 🤫 I use the Shozy every time I'm not reviewing. But definitely the BA5 will be used with critical listening and a some gaming too.
thanks man, I'm routing for this IEM and I'm waiting for my BQEYZ KC2 which I ordered from 11.11 Its kinda late my decision to get the KC2 since I've watch your review, maybe if the BA5 was released earlier before 11.11 I might get that one right away, based on your reviews
Nice review.. Thanks.. This vs tin hifi t4? Which would you choose? I own both and I think for the money the trn is the winner.. And the comfort fit is much better..
The Cora shares similarities with TRN's V90 but this is a fun yet more analytical IEM , Bass enthusiast definitely look into the Cora, ZSX and V90 , if you like some bass with a side off details these are great in that category.
The $50 range is on fire right now, it would depend on what your preference is. Tanchjim Cora is my favorite $50 IEM for most applications. Just a little above that $79 Shozy Form 1.1 is my favorite period right now. ZSX, BA5, C12 and V90 have a honorable mention.
@@jubilant_ear_reviews thanks, my taste is trying to find an iem that is as close sounding to speakers as possible because speaker sound is very transparent and located somewhere in space in front of me ( is it what you call soundstage ? - iem and open over the ear headphones have a sound that seems to come from my ears instead of in front of me ), i am not especially into something very analytical but something pleasant that forgives poor quality recordings as i listen a lot to youtube that is quite compressed audio. so for my taste would you still recomend Shozy Form 1.1 over Tanchjim Cora ? thanks, are they both ok powered from my phone or laptop without an amp ?
@@amanieux that's a tough signature to get from a IEM but yes the Shozy and Tanchhim are easy to drive. TRN BA5 is more transparent but I like some extra Bass in my presentation.
Thank for the review! Just wondering, since pricing wise it is very affordable. I was wondering how far is it comparable to more mid- high range IEM. I am itching to get one of these but don’t want to regret it. I mostly looking for bang for your buck type, but still a good quality sound pair if possible. Years ago if IEM has more then 3 drivers it would cost a lot $$$. It has really become affordable for a lot of music lover.
Yes, I can see this definitely taking on more expensive earphones. It's already bested The TP10 and A10 that cost 75 when I reviewed them. I can see this going against $100+ pairs of similar signature.
@@jubilant_ear_reviews pop, kpop, some rock and blues, jazz and metal. specifically prog metal. I use myiem for monitoring too. i connect my iem to an amp to my guitar. im specifically looking for great details, highs mids as a guitarist. bass is not much my focus. soundstage is a must too
@@japhetanciado7999 Maybe the BLON would be better, the BA5 has a nice bass but it's not as good as a Dynamic Drivers. My favorite IEM right now are the TRI i3 and Tin T2 plus
@@jubilant_ear_reviews @Headphones and Coffee Wel, i just tried the Blon. I wasn't Blon away.. I was disappointed. It's weak sounding, lacking, just smooth and doesn't even have strong bass. It has no sibilance though but has a relaxing sound. My KZ Zsn pro crushed it in all aspects. Maybe its really ain't for me. The volume of the Blon is weak too. I was expecting more for its hype.
Do you use foams with these? I know seal is most important but I could never get my T260's to sound acceptable with silicone. These have my eye for build and positive listening impressions.
I do test with foam as well as silicone, I do prefer silicone and these provided excellent isolation just with those stock tips. Just remember that foam always changes the sound signature not always for the better.
This is far superior to any of those, I have each one sitting in a drawer these will stay out. AS10, A10, C10, TP10 and out of those the C10 is not bad but the BA5 is a far better in every way but bass, while not as detailed the C10 has more boomy lower end.
Completely different signature. Less bass but more details to the bass up to the excellent treble. If you're looking for a wide soundstage and intricate micro details you would be happy with the BA5, The Bass is more Balanced than boomy. So it will depend on what your preference is in music. The ZSX is also great.
One of the few companies I've not heard anything from. Most of final's stuff Looks similar to the Zero audio I have tried. But the new stuff looks great.
The B3 is pretty good, but I think very different price point. I have it and it need more power to push compare with many other IEM out there. Don’t get me wrong I loved the B3 and always looking for a good cheaper quality alternative.
@@sunnysunshine9016 Very true, different price point... but it seems like cheaper is always getting better these days. I'd like to do a B3 vs. Andromeda showdown on my channel one of these days.
Got the cca c12 just a few days ago T^T sad to see that such a great set of iem popped up on my feed just a few days later. Felt like i just missed the jackpot. Well as a broke student, i guess i will start saving again?
Hey man, any recommendation for an iem similiar to ba5? I have this pair, love the sound, but it is way too heavy for my ears and I can't wear them any longer than an hour. Have to sell them and get another pair that is not as heavy.
Nice review👍. Got the the shozy form 1.1 last week but found vocals were recessed a touch too much for my liking. Are vocals more upfront with the ba5 compared to the form 1.1.? greez from Germany
to my ears 7-8 kHz is a bit too much. Sound sibilant at higher volumes. took the grill off the nozzle and added layer of paper towel and it brought down the highs slightly. Now there is no sibilance! very easy to listen for hours.

Right at this moment The Shozy Form 1.1 for all around listening. Critical listening tougher to choose, P1 Spring 1, Macaw GT600s, BA5 all very nice.
Headphones and Coffee Damn. I almost bought the Shozy on 11/11.
