Now that looks like a unique set.

Will post some pics of them when I get a chance.

Not only stunning in person but the sound easily matches up with how they look.

Can you see how the drivers are mounted ? Please it says coaxially is that side by side or double stackes one behind the other?

 

[Dsnuts]

I do believe it is coaxially. They are stacked on top of each other.

That's what I thought they meant interesting I am sure those smaller DD are impactful

I know this is the Penon site but I had to post about these here as well cus there is some relations here for this brand with Penon. Penon is going to launch an IEM brand they helped develop and market in the Tansio Mirai brand They are pretty much the exclusive dealers when it comes to Tansio Mirai IEMS sold for the western audiences on their web site. If you dont know about Tansio Mirai. They have been around almost the same amount of time as Penon has. And just like Penons excellent 10th anniversary IEM. Tansio Mirai will also introduce their version of the 10th anniversary IEM simply called the TSMR-X.

TSMR X

2 DD+ 4 BA + 1 custom film retarding driver Hybrid IEM

Driver configuration
One side with 7 drivers, both sides total 14 drivers
Low frequency: 2 x 8mm strong magnet dynamic, hollow coaxial structure, Carbon mixed diaphragm
Mid frequency: 2 x Knowles balanced armature
High frequency: 2 x Sonion balanced armature
Full frequency effect: 1 x custom film retarding driver (this driver is detachable design, frequent disassembly is not recommended)

Frequency response: 5-30kHz
Impedance: 10Ω
Sensitivity: 103dB

Low frequency control switch settings

Default standard tuning mode is 020, recommended to use this mode as a reference.
20 x frequency division elements on both sides make the accurate and scientific tuning.
Bass enhancement (100 Mode), control factor: 0.51
Standard tuning (020 Mode), control factor: 1.0
Low frequency attenuation (003 Mode), control factor: 1.47
*The higher the control factor, the lower the low frequency energy.
*All switches are turned off to NO BASS mode.
*0 indicates that the switch is closed downward, and 1/2/3 indicates that the switch is opened upward.

As per the sound. This was my take on them on the 2nd day of burn in and listen.

Day 2 of the TSMR X.

These got an overnight workout and some quality desktop time using my Fiio K9 Pro ESS.

You know who these will appeal to? CA Andromeda fans and IER-Z1R, UM fans. I was trying to put my finger on exactly what level of sonics we are dealing with on these.
If these are going a bit under $400 range for price. These are gonna rock the boat for up to 1K level plus IEMs. Its not just the technical chops of these things but its got an airy quality to the sound that will make you pay attention to whatever you're listening to.

I messed around with the tuning switches a bit just now and this will go from absolute flat neutral sounding with all switches down, quite boring if you ask me to a full on almost basshead level of bass with a flick of some switches. TSMR IEMs of past always had tuning switches but I can't recall one like this where the switch makes an obvious difference.

It comes with the mid switch in the forward position which is its reference balanced sound so it comes this way. But then when you flick the 1 switch or bass switch. BOOM. Its definitely adding about 3-4dbs of extra bass end in the mix. Surprisingly it works amazingly well. It seems Tansio Mirai has learned a thing or two about just how much is required to make the switch actually function the way it should be and to fully utilize the dual 8mm carbon based dynamics for bass.

The bass switch makes more of a difference than something like the Yanyin Canon or anything else I have heard that is minus one Penon Turbo where the switch adds a Ludacris amount of bass. To be honest I never see a real need for the full bass on the Turbo as it is just a bit too much but these. The TSMR X is actually listenable bass boost. It takes on a very nicely done L shaped tuning with the bass switch. They take on an entirely different sound profile with this switch and not just a mild boost like they have done in the past. To say this is the best bass boosted sound I have heard from Tansio Mirai is an understatement and they had some doozies.

I can see the advancement of their work from the Sands and the Lands to these. That reference tuning however is just fantabulous. If these are selling for $400 and lower. I simply can't imagine IEMs to sound much better at that price point. Its mids are just liquid with an atmospheric dimensional quality to the sound, fully 3D to its make up. Its treble is sparkly and shimmery--Reminds me a bit of the old OG Andromeda type of sparkle. But then it has this dual 8mm carbon based bass performance that is about as good as it gets at this price point, and it's got legit variability with the switch.. Hmmm a new contender? Folks that love them some Yanyin Canons, Tansio just made their version and it is a much more refined Canon. These things are not just good. They are crazy good. They sound better and better every time I put them in my ears. We will see how much these will go for but for now this is one IEM to keep a watch out for. I do believe that Tansio Mirai has just made a statement piece.

Bass
So the bass end of the TSMR-X is fantastic. It is by far Tansio Mirais best bass implimentations I have heard, even over the Sands and the Lands. It is 2 8mm carbon based dynamics stacked on top of each other coaxially. If you guys have ever owned an IEM that is designed this way for the bass end. Lets just say it is not lacking in both quality and quantity, which is variable. You can get big bass from a flick of the switch and the quality of the bass end don't suffer.

I do believe there is some bass bleed on the full bass on mode for some fun aspect to its tuning but again that is an option most IEMs don't give you.. You want a full bored bass? one switch and you get it. One of the absolute best implimentations of bass boost with a switch I can recall next to the Penon Turbos. Except this time instead of a dual Sonion Acupass Bass BAs. You get two very capable carbon based dynamics for better agility, impact and rumble.

I would have never in a thousand years would have guessed Tansio Mirai of all people will be putting out a very capable dynamic bass based IEM. ( These guys are traditionally all about BA sets) But then these are much more than just how good the bass is. All of it is exceptional. The mids are more neutral in emphasis but whats got me in a tizzy is just how ambient the entire sound is. It is shockingly airy to the likes of much higher end IEMs. Might have something to do with that newer vent driver they are using.

I am hopelessly addicted to it. Its included cable enhances technicalities with a slight skew for treble emphasis. Tried the Simgot LC7 cable and it gives the overall sound a bit more warmth and skews the sound for more mids an bass. This iem has been for me anyways one of the biggest surprises for me in years.

In comparison to their Lands and Sands IEMs
YES. Mids are just a dimensional as the Lands but slight bit more forward and more airy in comparison. Does not have the big upper mid and treble shelf of both the Lands and or the Sands. The Sands has a bit too much in the treble department that can cause fatigue if you dont have the right cable and source to use them on.

Sands in the end is more v shaped in comparison and a bit too technical for its own good. Lacks some musicality. I think they learned a thing or two vs these but more so they have been tuing for higher end stuff like the RGBs and their recent Halos. And I am certain the TSMR-X has a bunch of trickle down aspects of both higher end IEMs as well, especailly in the balancing department. The TSMR-X can easily be sold for double and folks would praise them up n down for how good they sound. I own IEMs that cost more than double to these that these sound better to my ears, MEST being one of them.

For fans of the IER-Z1R. Yes I can even say you folks might enjoy these quite a bit. They are not exactly what the Z1Rs are but the TSMR-X is much easier to drive to get a full bored sound out of. Bass fans will absolutely love these.. Mids fans will absolutely love these.. Treble fans will absolutely love these. What happens when you get all 3 aspects of the sound and your a fan of all 3? A must buy.

The reason why I know so much about Tansio Mirai is because I own and heard just about all of them including their flagships. Anyone ask me which Tansio Mirai to look into regardless of cost.

Thats a very simple answer right now.

Just in case anyone missed it...

Just ordered the Tansio Mirai 10th Anniversary X from Penon. Loved the Penon 10th and am impressed by the driver setup here with the TM 10th X. Hopefully will have them in a week or 2. Still haven't a clue at how a 'vent driver' drives.

The anniversary model is already out of stock on penonaudio.

It seems that stock was very limited before the Chinese New Year. I imagine there will be more later.

I received my set in this setting.

...always wanted that Tansio packaging. Never dreamt it would be this - a 10th Anniversary Edition



- the Acoustic version (the entire album) is phenomenal on the TSMR X, just the same



As DS commented recently, to discern tunings in the Penon Ecosystem -Tansio sounds best with classical music. I find the above tracks play and sing on the TSMR X - justifiably great, too.



But then again, some things do play and sound better than others. Indeed, TSMR in general is a Classics specialist, the X - included...

They look great.

Looking forward to your impressions.

Any possibility you can graph them?

Recorded live in 1932, a young Yehudi Menhuin, conducted by Elgar himself, playing the Andante from Elgar's Violin Concerto



This will be the first thing I will listen to with the TM 10th X

Nice pics!
Please share more impressions when you have time to do it..
Classical is my most listened genre and your comment got me even more interested in the X

A question. 7 drivers per side 2 x DD, 2 x Knowles mids BA, 2 x Sonion tweeter BA, 1 x custom film retarding driver. Why are Tansio Mirai calling the venting system a driver....is it a driver?
