Maybe it's just me but these look so cheap like something KZ would put out. I don't like the shell at all. For $3000 I'd want top tier looks and sound.

I dig it, simple is more sometimes. I can’t wait to demo this just to be sad I can’t afford it lol.Maybe it's just me but these look so cheap like something KZ would put out. I don't like the shell at all. For $3000 I'd want top tier looks and sound.
To each their own lol. I don't judge what others like but for me it would be a hard pass just based off looks. Even if it was $30 not $3000.I dig it, simple is more sometimes. I can’t wait to demo this just to be sad I can’t afford it lol.

Quite presumptuous... as if there were a queue of customers out there ready to kill themselves for this KZ clone at this very convenient price.
And now I'm expecting: "Ordered!" "Waiting for the DHL!" "Got 2 also for my grandma!"

I asked myself, will let you all know when I get an answer.Thank you. Venting systems make a big difference, but what does "custom film retarding driver" mean. Is it a DD or something else?
So I had a headfier ask me a question today that got me thinking what the TSMR X is an upgrade from..
EA1000, but tuned better, better impactful bass and extension, better textured for bass, more airy mids with astounding dimensional qualities, treble with better extension and articulation. Its got a similar balancing of the EA1000 but with refinements on each part of the spectrum. The TSMR X imo is special. Definitley one of the absolute best IEMs I have heard this year thus far. Heck from all of last year.
@theintention MEST MK1 is good but I will be honest with you and say I like the TSMR X better at 1/3rd the cost of them. The only thing the MEST has on the X is its stage but that is due to some sucked out mids so it sounds like your getting a grand stage. And yes I own the MEST kept it around to remind me I dont need to buy another UM IEM. I am sure they make great sounding stuff. The MEST is enjoyable for certain and definitely not a bad trade especially if your more into IEMs. But
TSMR-X is a better sounding and better balanced IEM and is just as impactful, better mids, just as dimensional. Sounds a bit more refined to me years in comparison.

Listening to Daft Punk’s “Crescendolls”, the section at 2:13 in gives me that pain in my head that makes me squint my eyes a little. I’m guessing it’s the treble but can anyone tell me which frequency it is that it is?
That was with the OD200’s and Final Audio E tips, so not even a set with high treble but it was still enough to cause discomfort. I can only imagine the discomfort it’d cause if I was wearing a set that had a ton of treble-focus and makes me think i might need to avoid the likes of the EA1000. I’m thinking if I know what frequency, or region, that section is hitting, then I’ll be able to look at a graph and know I want to avoid IEM’s that peak in that area.

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.

Quick question: Would you consider X an acoustic upgrade as compared to Tansio Mirai Tragic Duo (Land & Sand)...?
[Iconic "Kung-Fu Hustle" reference]
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 regarless of cost.
Thats a very simple answer right now.
