We disagree as usual on this topic. I use mine for Rock and metal from the 1970’s. Even some EDM. I have always found good rock music requires an excellent midrange more so than anything else. For me, that is Traillii.

In any event he is picking from the top.

Thanks, @Leto Dal and @Frankie D for your feedback!

I actually agree with both your points. Rock definitely needs punch and speed, but a great midrange can never be understated either. Do you think Traillii's excellent vocals could also be a key factor for this genre?

Absolutely, and you will not only listen to rock, even if that is all you listen to now. And other types of rock can make the vocals take precedent. What are some of you favorite tracks and we can try them out?

Trailli got probably the most beautifully rendered vocals of all IEMs I have heard, the midrange on it is superb.

And yep, rock and metal benefit from this great midrange too, its just the other factors that holding Trailli back from being my fav performer for that genres. For jazz, folk and bluegrass I would take Trailli over any other IEM on current market.
If you want one great allrounder without planning buying multiple kilo-buck IEMs, I highly advice to check out the Mentor, for me it managed to solve that "issues" keeping beautiful Trailli like mids, but sacrificing bit of the laid back smooth analog tuning of it, being a more energetic IEM.

I wholeheartly agree with you that for jazz or less busy genres like acoustic or bluegrass, the Traillii reigns supreme but for rock or something like J-pop the mid get a bit crowd for me on Traillii and I usually prefer Anni as it is more U shaped iem

I guess its depends on the recording technique? As the rock from 70s and from the present time is quite different I think.

Totally agree!

Lots of favorite tracks, but I usually listen to Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Incubus, Pearl Jam, etc

I've noticed that there's quite a consensus that the Traillii excels in those genres, including classical and ambient music.

Also looking at the Mentor, would you say it's a significant improvement over the Traillii?

Would you say that there is a significant difference in the overall resolution between the Traillii and Anni?

That black & red version is truly a beauty! What's the cable btw?

Those groups are in the Traillii’s wheelhouse. I use the Dire Straits “Brothers In Arms” album as part of my audition list. In fact, this is one album I always felt Traillii superior to Annihilator. That said, Annihilator should be good as well.
