Tansio Mirai X

Intro:
I got this IEM on loan from the Indonesian tour which was sent from the BTM Store.

When the iem arrived to me it was in incomplete packaging, because I was only sent the case and the iem without any tips. The cable used in the iem is a Jack 4.4 cable with good and thick material.
The housing material is considered solid with materials that feel premium. It feels expensive when you hold it.

As for the fitting itself, I think it's quite comfortable, although I have to adjust it first before fitting it to my ear.
Because when it was sent to me there were no tips, so I used Divinus Velvet tips.

This IEM is relatively light to use using a weak source. This IEM is a multi driver hybrid IEM with a 2dd+4ba+1 custom film configuration.
With this 7 driver configuration, we also add the option of 3 switches which makes it easy for us to change the sound. Switches that we can set for example:
100: The bass is boomy and tends to have a warm vshape sound character. Enter for bassheads
010: Tends to balance with a mild vs warm sound direction
001: Tends to be a bit warm with a focus on the treble. Even though the focus is on treble, it's still not enough for trebleheads

This combination of switches can be further tweaked, for example like switch 011 which makes the sound bassy but also ringy. In this review I used a balanced 010 switch.

What's a more complete impression of the sound? Check it out...

Bass:
This IEM has a mild, warm sound direction with a focus on really deep sub bass. The bass quantity feels a bit big. The quality that is highlighted in this IEM is in the sub bass which has rumbling vibrations and a steady texture from the combination of the custom film and DD drivers. These subwoofer flavors make a magnificent impression in the sound presentation.

The mid bass isn't as big as the sub bass, but it still has good quality and texture. Yes, although for people who are fans of mid bass, it definitely feels like the bass lacks impact. It feels like it's holding up with the big sub bass.

The sub bass decay feels long, but the control is still quite good at fast speeds. Even though it's a bit bleak on other instruments, fortunately it only feels like this in songs that have a rich combination of sub bass and bass, like the Abyss-Yungblud song. If it's for pop, rock and top 40 songs, it's still safe.
Overall, the bass presentation helps make this Mirai X feel fun and musical.

Mid:
The mid position feels behind the bass. The weight is thick with equal male and female vocal positions. The uppermid is slightly boosted to make the vocals seem clearer and looser. So the vocal presentation can be clear and sweet with a smooth sensation.
Sibilance and peaks feel minimal here.

But unfortunately the vocals feel a bit less swinging, so it feels like it lacks emotion and fun. But I can understand this because this IEM really focuses more on bass quality.
As for the timbre in the mid, because it uses a good BA driver, it feels natural and not too plasticky. When I listen to acoustic guitar, piano, etc., it feels like the weight and timbre are right.
Even my Juzear 41t feels a bit plasticky after listening to Mirai x, because the BA presentation is so natural.

Treble:
The treble of the Mirai X tends to be laid back, smooth and relaxed in presentation. The cymbal ring feels a bit thin in weight, with pretty good extension even though the ends roll off a bit.
The aggressive impression of the cymbal hits is a bit lacking for trebleheads, but for other people it feels right. Peaks and grainy are also safe in this treble with a quite natural timbre from the good BA driver. The plasticky impression in the treble is only felt in songs where the treble is dominant and aggressive.

Technical:
One of the things that Mirai X stands for is its good technical skills. The stage is quite wide even though it is not a wide stage.
The stage presentation relies more on balance. So it feels like the width, depth and height of the stage are the same.
Make precision instrument imaging and get a 3D impression

The detail, resolution and micro details are really great. In my opinion, it is at the same level as Blessing 3 and slightly above S15, MP145, Wind, and P1 Max 2. The clarity is also quite clear. So it makes the musicality of Mirai X even better.

The transient speed is fast even though the bass is a bit big. It's still suitable for metal songs that are a bit heavy, although it will feel lacking in rock songs that rely on sub bass, because the sub bass is a bit long.

Actually the sound layering is good, but unfortunately the separation is a bit lacking in my opinion in songs that are busy with loud sub bass and mid bass booms like the song Abyss - Yungblud. But in songs that don't have dominant bass that responds, the separation is good.

Outro:
I can say that the Tansio Mirai
The price is affordable (around 400), it can be used as an option for straight end games for fans of warm IEMs that can go all around, or for non basshead maniac

The flexibility in the switch function which is not a gimmick is also interesting to try. There is no ivory that doesn't crack, and so does Tansio Mirai x.
The vocals are a bit less swinging and the separation is less separable in bass-dominant songs, which can also be taken into consideration for those who want to buy this IEM.

Intro


This TSMR - X immersed me to sonic bliss for almost 2 weeks now. This is the first time I audition a 400$+ IEM it is different from the budget-fi experience I can simply say this TSMR - X is one that I want to keep as reference IEM. One thing is to take note is the tuning switches which customized the IEM in 3 different personalities.

This iems spend 7 days with me before taking details of this review

The TSMR X is a Balanced set in my taste. With Deep, full, visceral, well textured bass (Reference grade), nicely smooth and tranparent midrange, great treble response without the sign of fatiguing. I'm really enjoying this set.

To take note

I haven't touch the tuning switches. The tuning 020 is enough for me to evaluate this gear.






PENON Lacquer Orange

This is my favorite tips as of now. It adds bass and warmth to my gears without compromising the clarity.

PENON Lacquer Black

It adds treble energy ,clearer vocals and great resolution without reducing the bass quality.



Bass


The bass is the specialty of TSMR X. It shows clean, full and realistic bass response with enough impact. It's satisfying rumbles makes me wanting more when I'm listening to some EDM music it got my taste in every impact it leaves a trail in the presentation. I never heard an IEM as good as this. This is definitely a reference grade.


Mids


The mids is smooth, airy and transparent, the male vocals sounded a little lacking in texture. I prefer female vocals here it does sound fuller and richer compared to male vocals. The midrange instruments are lush , clear and detailed the strums of guitar is tastefully done. The realistic timbre of instruments here is addicting imo.


Treble


It is exceptionally refined In a sense it has enough sparkle, air and extension without sounding harsh or sibilant. One more thing impressed me is the treble good note weight it provides enough energy and shimmer to the presentation to become engaging enough to enjoy the music.


Technicalities


The soundstage, layering and separation I can't flaws here tbh. It is exceptionally good to portrait the music. Soundstage is wide and spacious. Layering and separation is good you can easily pinpoint where the instruments is placed in the stage without feel congested itt makes a clear picture of the presentation.





Conclusion


This TSMR X gives me chills everytime I play my entire music library it is definitely an all rounder. Its realistic timbre across the presentation is one thing to take note it gives you pure bliss you didn't noticed the time 5 hrs had passed because how good it is. If I have the chance to purchase one I will do it without hesitation. This is a Must Buy.

Tansio Mirai is one of the more boutique brands that had been in operation for quite a while now but was typically not in the mainstream spotlight. They offer a wide range of items from cables and IEMs from $39 all the way up to $2999. I will be referring to the 10th Anniversary edition as ‘ TSMR X ‘ for convenience sake.



They are now celebrating their 10th anniversary with a limited edition 10th anniversary set for the price of $399, making it settle in the midrange category of the hobby. Tansio Mirai packed the TSMR X 2DD + 4BA + 1 Custom Film Retarding Driver.

Their custom driver is removable and seems to be adjustable, which I find unique for an IEM in itself. Not only that, they opted to have the TSMR X made with tuning switches to future tweak the sound for one’s liking.

It comes in a small hard box with a unique coloring. It has your typical text and branding on the front and manufacturer’s details on the back. It has a straightforward unboxing experience, sliding off the initial cover and removing the top cardboard lid will reveal the IEMs themselves encased in dense foam. In the same layer is the provided case and underneath where the IEMs sit is the stock ear tips.




𝗜𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻:
Paperwork
TSMR X drivers
2-core 2-pin SPC OCC cable(4.4mm BAL)
3-pairs of white translucent eartips(S/M/L)
3-pairs of black translucent eartips(S/M/L)
Off-white faux-leather zipper hard case
Cleaning brush tool
Tuning switch pick tool
Custom driver pick tool

The set of inclusions is good. It is nice to see they included a brush for cleaning the IEMs along with the appropriate tools for tweaking the driver and the switches. The included eartips are your normal stock tips, and I can’t say much about them as they are not that exciting.



The quality of the cable is also amazing, it may not be as braided as others but I actually prefer sleeker cables like this. It doesn’t weigh you down, not stiff and not thick. The gold finish on the fittings also adds a little bit of pop onto the cable. One problem though is the lack of left and right indicators to be able to easily have the correct polarity.



The included case feels nice and high-quality. The look of it definitely gave it a “boutique” feeling but I wish the size would be a tad bit bigger to be able to hold IEMs without much cramming.



Overall, the inclusions are more than enough to get you started. Tansio Mirai definitely prioritizes the accessories that matter to the actual use of the IEMs.

The TSMR X’s body is made entirely out of a translucent green resin which feels really premium. It has heft to make it feel substantial and is nice in the hand. They only offer this in this colorway but the design is really nice. It is subtle with a nice splash of green.



The faceplate has this wavy smooth texture along with the circular driver that you can remove or adjust. The custom driver also acts like a nice design accent for the quite mundane faceplate.



Overall, the design of the TSMR X is minimal yet unique. I'm really fond of this colorway and am amazed with the build quality.

Form-wise, the TSMR has a universal fit, it doesn’t have any deep grooves or protrusions that can annoy others but benefit some. The 2-pin slot is located on the top and the array of switches along with a vent is located on the rear. The nozzle is quite stubby(wide and short) and has no lip to aid in keeping the ear tip in place. This made me require the use of longer eartips during my testing.



Tansio Mirai packed this set with a 2DD + 4BA + 1 Custom Film Retarding Driver, to cover the frequency range. The custom drivers in this one have a neat ability to be removed or adjusted, I noticed that this driver can adjust the ventilation and bass response of the TSMR X.



Another way to change the sound is with the tuning switches. In other IEMs, such switches barely have noticeable change with the sound, the TSMR X switches though, make a world of difference in the sound.


| 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 |

Isolation on the TSMR X is the middle of the pact. It doesn’t leak outside sound in but at the same time doesn’t isolate them out entirely. I’m not quite sure if the custom driver affects this but isolation of the TSMR X is more than usable.


| 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 |

With the right eartips, the TSMR X provides amazing comfort in the ears. I never once found myself removing them due to ear fatigue or had to readjust them due to discomfort. The fit is nice and snug with my ear and is kept in place even after some drastic head movement. The occlusion effect isn’t an issue either.

| 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 |

Even with the wide assortment and quantity of drivers, I never had an issue with the TSMR X requiring more power. There was no issue for me getting my desire volume without much push with the gain.


|| 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 ||

Overall sound is pleasant and amazing. They offer a great performance all across the board be it from the lows all the way to the highs. The TSMR X offers a familiar yet unique sound that has something to offer for everyone.



| 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝘀 |

One of the key highlights of the TSMR X. These offer amazing bass for both midbass and subbass. Kicks and hits sound full, fast and have quick decay, as if you are hit but something with mass. Subbass goes in deep and is really rumbly. Texture of the rumble is really good whilst keeping it clean.



Definitely one of the best IEMs in terms of bass. Nothing I’ve ever tried sounded this full and satisfying whilst not sounding overbearing or smeary. This can easily impress even bass heads with the nice balance of quality and quantity.


| 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝘀 |

The streak continues as the TSMR X also has good mids. Vocals sound full, warm and have enough air. It never sounded as if the vocals were choked or pre-emptively cut-off. I never encountered any instance of sibilance either. Feminine vocals do tend to be a little bit more forward that their masculine counterparts. Instruments have amazing note weight. They sound full and lush. You can really feel the heft of instruments being played. Air and extension is no slouch either on the TSMR X. Timbre sounds as natural as natural sounding can get.



There is no hint of weird unnatural sound during playback even with the diverse driver selection the TSMR X has,

Overall, a great sounding mids with no sibilance and natural sound. This may not still be enough for midrange fanatics but it is almost at the point of performance.


| 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘀 |

Treble on the TSMR X is no slouch either. It has a very nice and unobtrusive sound, yet these provide a very detailed and refined treble performance. They have good clarity, detail, extension and a little bit of sparkle to top it off. It never sounded fatiguing or harsh.



In totality, good treble performance. It can provide ample amounts whilst still on the safer end in terms of energy. Extremist will probably yearn for more but I think the majority will find these appealing


| 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 |

Despite the safer treble forwardness, the TSMR X still offers amazing technicalities. Layering, separation and staging are all exceptional. Never once the TSMR X sounded congested or all over the place even with the busiest parts of songs on my playlist. Immersion with the TSMR X is top-notch, I can whole-heartedly do this for both kinds of gaming along with being great for movies.


|| 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 ||

This is definitely quite an experience for an IEM. The amount of little quirks it has all concluded in the overall sound performance that is exceptional. It ticks all the right boxes in my opinion and never once left me wanting for more.



I can recommend this for anyone that has the ability to do so. It has performed extremely well on all instances that I’ve tested it with so far. This is different from hyper-specific set like ones made and marketed for bass heads, treble heads, or anything similar but if you are looking at something that performs good in all instances, this is a definitely must worth a try even if it’s a loaner unit.
