#1013 TRN White Tiger: $69.99 Shenzhenaudio $69.99 eBay

Pros: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap.

Cons: Treble about 2 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones. An uneven response, 2.7 dB standard deviation from target.

Is the TRN White Tiger right for you?

Buy it if

  • you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 2.5 dB below target).
  • you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
  • you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 23 points.

Skip it if

  • you want the best value: the higher-rated EPZ G10 costs about $46 less.

Frequency Response

How the TRN White Tiger measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 5 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
