100+ Head-Fier
For ZiiGaat Cinno in Universal Fit
Pros: Unique tuning that is neither too forward or too laid back in approach
Despite what the graph says, a healthy and tight bass response
Very small shells, fit should be easy for most people
(For me) Details and resolution are ahead of the pack
Very Natural mid-range, vocals sound lovely
Warm and easy to listen to
Top tier upper-mid-range for the price point

Cons: Treble is a bit laid back and safe
Rolled-off sub-bass is apparent
Might be boring for most folks
Vocals might be too laid back for some
Unboxing experience and accessories leave a lot to be desired
SLIGHT BA timbre

Headphoneus Supremus
For TANSIO MIRAI Feat in Universal Fit
Pros: Handsom handcrafted all resin build
Solid passive isolation for outdoor use
Ergonomic shape for most ears
Neutral bassy sound design
Coaxial bass= sub woofers for your ears
The little brother to the TSMR-X
With similar sound design
Much cheaper than the TSMR-X
With similar sound design
Easy to listen to vs other TSMR design
Perfect for media and outdoor use
Outstanding rumbly deep reaching tactile bass
Sub bass punch.
Bass that stays away from the mids
Versatile sound tuning.
Due to less treble emphasis vs prior TSMR IEMs
The included cable actually synergizes with it.
Bass only engages when called for.

Great review! I am really happy with the X, otherwise I’d be really tempted…

The appeal of these I can understand. At the price point there will not be too many that will top these for bass engagement. These are what I hoped the old GR07s should have been. I think if I didn't have the TSMR-X already these would be a no brainer but they have their own appeal.
I quote
"Folks that have never heard a Tansio Mirai IEM before and you're a bass fan, these might be a good place to start. For the guys that own the TSMR-X do you need to get this one? Nope not really. Well that is unless you feel the need to get a more simpler bass driven version of the TSMR-X for out and about. And or your just a huge fan of what Tansio Mirai has been cooking up lately and have to have them all."

Cons: - Need to find suitable eartips for a better fit.
