What makes an iem more musical in your definition?

Probably because they are sloppy.

What makes an iem more musical in your definition?

It's hard to give a recipe for musicality. Just like a great violinist.. ..what creates a Yehudi Menuhin? There are many ingredients definitely including timbre.....and also tone, dynamics and with IEM's that have EST's (maybe not all) a fluid/liquid treble, organic sound. Bass that allows textures such as drum skin textures. Pace and realistic staging. Also what the IEM does not do, such as exaggerated Pinna gain or harshness in upper mids or unrealistic bass. It's a right brain thing, though, to me and purely a listening 'Experience' so left brain focused measurements etc do not describe musicality. It's like a great recipe in a quality restaurant and about the chef, ingredients, cooking and flavours. Like a great restaurant experience and impossible to describe, so I answer out of politeness and respect rather than really understanding what makes an IEM more musical.

Another great sound and (even better) color matchup here! Angelears Abyssal, Graphene alloy cable!

New cable arrived from HiFiGO.com, a Hakugei "Golden Bhodi Pro" 4.4mm gold plated OCC, copper+silver+palladium alloy, but mainly for the color match with the subtle green & gold in the cable. Compared to the stock Sands cable, the Hakugei is a bit lighter, softer and more supple, but not rubbery or floppy.

Sound wise, combined with the 4.4mm to USC-C dongle, the TSMR X sounds incredible. The dongle chip has some power to it, about a 10-20% volume boost. And the Hakugei cable adds some nice warmth and very noticeable sense of holographic imaging. Listening to some favorite music last night, I heard some faint BG vocals on a Steely Dan track, a 3rd background rhythm classical guitar on a Jesse Cook track, and some [typical] crazy stuff in the background on a couple of King Gizzard songs -- all that I've never noticed before. I switched the TSMR back to the Sands cable, and sure enough, couldn't really hear any of those 3 things.

The X is filling a gap that I never tried to fill: quality, low volume playback. It seems that most of the current, mid-fi IEMs play better as you up the volume.

My hearing ebbs and flows, as the day progresses. Mid morning to early evening is the period where I can use an IEM for extended periods, without fatigue. Late night, the volume has to be cut, by at least 20%.

With switch 1 on, I can now play more energetic offerings, at the reduced volume. But I'm not loosing any detail or that glorious low end. Even a laid back song like "Me and Misses Jones" (by Billy Paul) retains it's magic sauce.

i bought this cable, it makes my 7hz Legato's treble sharp and metallic. I'm curious it how can tame my future Tansio Mirai X's treble

The airy treble is why you buy the x, you don't want to tame it. It's a feature.

Airy is ok, harsh and fatiguing not ok

Do you own the X ?

Of course, that's why I said something

Nothing treble peak or harshness ?

Not for me. i like airy treble, i don't think it crosses any line.

I find there’s something in the mids or treble that leads to fatigue after a few hours of listening. I have not tried EQ to specifically figure out what frequencies are causing me trouble. I’d just say if your hearing is like mine I probably would not suggest enhancing upper frequencies.

I got the same cable. It sounds great with the X. No harness to my ear while it's still airy and bassy. The stock X cable is too spicy for me, but it pairs well with the Neo 3.
The stock Butastur cable also sounds great with the X IMHO.
