Well, I only listened to them for an hour. I won't be listening to them during the burn in period, so "brain burn in" won't really come into play. I used Sony ZX507 and Shanling M3X for my hour listening, both are Android based DAPs. The ZX507 is warm, while the M3X is neutral. I think the synergy was better with the M3X.

Enjoy!
I found better synergy with the mid-centric WM-1A.

Well, well.....and identical review to mine. Imagine that? He even talks about using a SPC cable to brighten it up slightly!

Well after roughly 52 hours of continuous burn in the TTROMSO have changed. There was no 'brain burn in' involved as I didn't listen to the TTROMSO during the continuous burn in period.
Before I favored the synergy with the M3X DAP, now I prefer these IEM's connected to the ZX507. It's hard for me to describe the sound I'm hearing now. When connected to the ZX507 there is a spatiousness, bigger soundstage(?), whereas with the M3X, now the sound seems edgy and uncomfortable to listen to.

I can’t wait to hear more impressions. I sincerely believe the TTROMSO is special!

Still waiting, they haven't cleared customs cleared customs yet.
I'd been looking for a DAP, glad I didn't get the M3X!

Maybe wait on that SPC cable since maybe they brighten up on their own lol!

It does appears these IEMs do brighten up after some burn in. I don't have any other 2 pin cables only mmcx, so using the stock cable. The M3X is not a bad DAP. I have other earphones that sound great with the M3X. It's just that after the burn in these Tipsy's sound better with a Sony DAP. I confirmed this with ZX507 and ZX300 (running WalkmanOne, WM1Z, Country: J, Plus V2 mode). It will be interesting if others have similar impressions. I don't have DAPs from multiple manufacturers, so can only give impressions for what I have.
Edit: Also using stock ear tips.

Got these today. I’m pretty impressed right out of the box. They’re really engaging sounding and a lot more detailed than I was expecting. Great bass that’s almost at the point of being too much but never goes over the line. Awesome sound stage too.
Very tasty stuff.
