TSMR – X 10thAnniversary IEM Review
Pros: Customizable sound on the go with neat flipping switches
Ample bass on 100 Mode
Balanced tuning on 100 Mode
Neutral sound on 020 mode
Engaging presentation yet non-fatiguing
Turquoise Shells look and feel incredible.
Cons: Detail retrieval
Technicalities
Disclaimer: - I am a bass head and I prefer a sound that is wide with natural timbre, excellent imaging and thumpy mid-bass with moderate decay and clinical precision when it comes to instrument separation. I am highly averse to bright-sounding transducers and sibilance in my music.



This unit was sent to me by Audio Geek India as part of the TSMR Iem tour. I thank Audio Geek India & TSMR for this opportunity to listen and review TSMR - X. My views aren’t influenced either by Audio Geek/TSMR in any way.



I happen to have the tour unit with me and you can check out the pics. In the retail packaging, TSMR offers:-

· 1x In-Ear Monitors

· 1x Detachable Cable

· 6x Pair of Eartips

· 1x Cleaning Tool

· 1x Switch Pin

· 1x Carrying Case



There is some interesting tech going on with X as well. Packed with 2 DD 4BA and one ‘Custom Film Retarding Driver’.

There are tuning switches so that you can customize the sound quite a bit as per your preference without going through the hassle of using digital EQ. The changes made to the tuning are analog and this might be important to some.

It also features a coaxial mechanism to release the pressure build-up in the ear canal and aids in sonic enhancement as well, as claimed by TSMR.

From the get-go, considering the package and the tech that’s inside I feel that a lot of thought has gone into this product. It has all the bells and whistles to captivate the most tech-savvy users out there with features that are found in price brackets much above this tier.



Sound – There are 3 sound options which one can choose from by simply flipping through the switches on the iem itself.

Standard Tuning – 020 Mode

Bass Enhancement Mode – 100 Mode

Low Frequency attenuation – 003 Mode.

All switches off result in NO BASS mode. Switch settings: 0 (closed downward), 1/2/3 (opened upward). I personally liked the 100 mode and my impressions are based on that tuning. However, there is plenty of change in sound that is evident. I liked Standard Tuning with instrumentals and jazz. The sound changes completely with the switches and feels considerably different when tweaked.



Lows: I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer quantity it had while delivering mid-bass. Generally, manufacturers try to play it safe here but in the 100 mode, you get all the bass you need. Sub bass is neatly done and never gives a smearing effect. The warmth slightly carries to the mid-range but it's quite amicably done.

I liked how much the impact and the punchiness of the bass attacks also changed with the switches rather than sheer loudness.

Mids: Mids aren’t too subdued resulting in a V-shaped tuning but have just enough bite on them that it feels like a balanced tuning. I enjoyed my regional music quite a bit on this iem particularly due to how well it presented all three. The highs, mids and the lows. It never feels that one aspect if more forward than the other.

Highs: My aversion to sparkly highs always kicks in whenever I try a new iem and in a few minutes I was confident enough to try it with ‘They Don’t Really Care About Us’ by Michael Jackson and the initial 40-50 seconds felt very palatable. I often use this song to check for any harshness or sibilance. I was getting loads of information in highs and I wanted to check if it would get harsh but no. never. There is more quantity in the highs but I am amazed how tastefully it is done.



Technicalities: Imaging is pretty nice. I will say that the only aspect where I could ask for a little more is a little more resolution. The soundstage is satisfactory but I feel I could use more air around the individual sound cues of lows, mids and highs. The presentation tastefully projects Highs, Mids and lows very distinctively from each other and there is enough detail for me to enjoy every genre of music that I throw at it. Timbre is on point and effortlessly reveals the difference between different sound cues.

Conclusion: Well, is it worth your money? Suppose you prefer a balanced sound with a slightly pronounced mid-bass. In that case, you want to get spoiled by tuning switches (which I believe do a more distortion-free job at EQing than digital eq options in music players) and a terrific looking turquoise iem in your ears I am sure you will relish listening to TSMR and dabble with different tunings.

TSMR X Anniversary IEM Review
Pros: Customizable sound with tuning switches
Clear and balanced sound signature
Excellent mids and vocal clarity
Comfortable fit for long listening sessions
Tight, controlled bass with adjustable depth
Cons: Slightly bulky design
Heavier than some other IEMs
May lack sub-bass impact for bass enthusiasts
Introduction
TSMR has earned a solid reputation for delivering customizable, high-performance IEMs, and their X Anniversary model is no exception. This special edition is designed for audiophiles looking for great sound with multiple tuning options to suit individual preferences.
Unboxing and First Impressions
The packaging is simple and straightforward, featuring various ear tips, a detachable cable, and a compact carrying case. The IEMs have a clear resin shell that reveals their inner components. While visually pleasing, I was more interested in how they fit and sounded.
Fit and Comfort
Though they appeared slightly bulky at first, the IEMs fit snugly and securely in my ears. They aren’t the lightest I’ve tried, but the weight was manageable during long listening sessions. I wore them for several hours without discomfort, and they remained firmly in place, which is a big plus for extended use.
Sound Quality
To test these IEMs, I paired them with my HiBy R4, using a balanced cable, and streamed high-resolution tracks from Qobuz. I listened to a range of genres, including "So What" by Miles Davis, "Blackbird" by The Beatles, "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, and "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. Here’s how they performed:
  • Treble: Crisp and clear without becoming harsh or fatiguing. It maintains a nice balance between detail and smoothness.
  • Mids: Full and rich, especially for vocals and acoustic instruments. Both male and female vocals stood out, making the mids one of its strongest aspects.
  • Bass: Tight and punchy, without overpowering the rest of the spectrum. The bass switch adds a pleasing depth for those who want more low-end without drowning out the mids and treble.
Final Thoughts
The TSMR X Anniversary delivers a balanced sound signature with slightly elevated mids and treble, ideal for critical listening. Despite the somewhat bulky design, they provide excellent comfort and sound quality. I’d give them a 3.8 out of 5.
Thanks to Sandeep Agarwal , Nikunj Dedhia and Kashyap Doulani for the loaner as part of the Audio Geek India Tour. This review is based solely on my personal experience.

Mid (9.5/10)​


At the heart of the TSMR X lies its midrange performance, a realm where the magic truly unfolds. Here, vocals come alive with a richness and clarity that is nothing short of breathtaking. Whether it’s the soaring notes of a female soprano or the deep resonance of a male baritone, every nuance is rendered with exquisite detail. The mids are not merely heard; they are felt, drawing the listener into the emotional core of each song. It’s as if the artist is performing right before you, their voice enveloping you in a warm embrace.

Treble (9/10)​

As the music ascends into the treble, the TSMR X continues to impress with its crystalline clarity. Each note sparkles with precision, allowing listeners to uncover the intricate layers of sound that often go unnoticed. The treble is bright yet never harsh, offering a delightful balance that enhances the listening experience without causing fatigue. It’s a delicate dance of sound, where every shimmer and subtle inflection is laid bare, inviting you to explore the depths of your favorite tracks.

Bass (7.5/10)​

However, every masterpiece has its nuances. While the TSMR X excels in many areas, its bass performance may leave some audiophiles craving a bit more depth and impact. The balanced armature drivers, while capable, may not deliver the thunderous low-end that dynamic drivers can provide. Additionally, the non-removable cable design may limit customization options for those who prefer interchangeable cables

Technical performance (8/10)​

Beyond its tonal qualities, the TSMR X showcases impressive technical performance that rivals even the most esteemed studio monitors. The soundstage is expansive, creating an immersive environment that allows listeners to feel as though they are sitting in the very heart of a recording studio. Complex musical passages are handled with grace, each instrument occupying its own space while contributing to a cohesive whole. It’s an experience that transcends mere listening; it’s an invitation to lose yourself in the artistry of sound.

Conclusion​

The TSMR X is not just an in-ear monitor; it is a sonic odyssey that invites listeners to explore the vast landscapes of music with newfound clarity and emotional depth. With its exceptional mids, crisp treble, versatile sound profiles, and technical brilliance, it stands as a testament to the art of audio engineering. For those seeking a captivating listening experience that adapts to their musical tastes, the TSMR X is a remarkable companion on the journey through sound. Immerse yourself, and let the music unfold.

Non-removable cable? BA not delivering thunderous bass? TSMR X has 2 dynamic drivers for low-end, not BA. Not enough impact for bass? Check again. Looks like you didn't try all switch combinations...
