What an entry into the IEM market. I don't think I would be exaggerating if I say that here we have a piece that is going to be compared to IEMs well beyond its price point.
Before I begin with a review though, some things to know where I come from:
Sennheiser HD598s, Moondrop Blessing 2, & Thieaudio Monarch MK3 have been my listening buddies in the last ten years; the Monarch being the latest. To pair with them I've used the Jcally AP98 DAC/Amp & Sony NX707 walkman.
I can listen to any kind of music as long as I like it, but my library mostly consists of instrumentals, which I listen to through Apple Music.
What brought on the need to shop for an IEM? Primarily because I wanted to listen to my songs through a different tuning. My Blessing 2 ran out of commission a while back, and I wanted a bit of change from the MK3s. Funnily enough, I ended up picking something thats actually not too different signature wise from the MK3, but after listening to them once, there was no way I couldn't pick them up.
So lets get into the meat of the matter: the sound.
Tansio Mirai X comes with a U shaped default tuning, but you can change this with the three tuning switches provided, which affect the low, mid, and high frequency bands.
The Audio Store was amazing as usual, and provided me with a plethora of options to test which included - ISN Neo 3, ISN Neo 5, Penon Dome, Penon Quattro, Penon Turbo, & Symphonium Meteor, all of which range from a level lower priced to a level higher priced than TSMR X. I might add my comparisons to all these pieces (and my own MK3s) wherever it feels pertinent.
The bass:
This has some of the most gorgeously tuned bass I've heard in a long time. For some people, it just might be on the limit of bassy side (I am myself not a basshead and in some songs it does feel borderline to me), but the quality will more than make up for it. Some of the drums, lower tone strings, and tabla (especially the strokes of the dagga) I've heard through this have left me amazed. Only the Penon Quattro with its 4 DDs could maybe offer more detail, but there is another reason why TSMR X will still feel like it has better bass (which I'll mention later).
Playing with the tuning switches over here and using the 100 mode will get you more bass, but doesn't affect the quality. Go for this if you are a basshead. If you think the bass is too much, go for 003 mode. I'm using the default 020.
The mids:
Compared to the bass, the mids are not as forward even in the 020 mode which is the balanced tuning. Especially with vocals, you might feel that they are slightly being pushed back, but in my opinion, this is because the instrument presentation feels much more forward. The strings here are very nicely heard, and although it might feel like it could have had better resolution, overall you will not be disappointed. Out of the pieces I had a chance to listen to, these were still close to the best, with the cheaper ISN Neo 5 also being surprisingly quite good for mids, the Penon Turbo doing well, and the Symphonium Meteor being the clear winner here.
The treble:
You will find this to be fun. There is enough detail here to put them above many IEMs in and around this price range. Instruments like cymbals, maracas, tambourines, and chimes can be perfectly heard, and the sound in general is not overly sharp. Of all the IEMs I tested, I would safely put these the best for treble (although I will mention that Penon Quattro sound very interesting here as well).
The mindblowing:
Up till now, you might not have understood why I've been so overboard with positivity about these IEMs. So the bass and treble is good, but the mids are only decent. Why would that alone make them phenomenal? The Xenns Mangird Top would probably be equally good (or even better) sound quality wise. That my dear friends, is because this IEM brings something into the equation that I've not expected any IEM to bring. Soundstage.
The soundstage:
Till now, I've never really rated IEMs on this. After listening to open cans like HD598s (and some very good ones like HD600, HD650, Sundara, Ananda courtesy TAS), I know that I can't expect IEMs to deliver that effect to me. But boy does this come close. I've never expected to hear acoustic reverberations in an IEM. Maybe it is the custom film retarding driver with the detachable design that does this, I'm not sure. It gives you the most rich acoustic feeling you will have ever heard even among IEMs way beyond this price. My Monarch MK3 which is nearly 3 times costlier cannot do some of the things that TSMR X does! It was especially so good for my playlist, which I mentioned earlier is mostly instrumental. Some of the guitar notes, the tabla, the cymbals I hear on this are just out of the world.
And this last bit is what makes the TSMR X punch way, way above its price point and make it worth getting IMO.

Enough BASS, Treble not harsh. Smooth cable. Also, actually I've Tangzu Warner in my opinion, but i selected this. Satisfied with this IEM. Delivery was fast! Thank you TAS!!!!!
I was searching for mid forward, vocal centric IEM. Looking at options like oracle, mega5est etc. Mr. Pritam was kind enough to attend my numerous calls and indepth discussion and finally suggested me to penon voltage. Hefty price tag and becuz of my already good collection, I was not tempted for any iem if not drastically different sound signature. Again my man Friday Pritamji allowed me audition of his personal set of penon voltage.
Penon voltage is honestly outstanding and justify every penny.
Midst are lush and superb. Treble is outstanding. Male and female vocals are life like. Technically top notch. Base is full and extends deep and thumping. Best part is timber. Jazz, vocals and classical sounds so natural, it seems intimate and soulful. I had u12t, campfire Solaris og, now I have a 64audio volur, but voltage has etched a unique image in my soul. It's sounds like a headphone rather than an iem. Penon audio has an ace up their sleeves.
D32 is way better than expected. Sound imaging & separation is very good. Nice thumpy bass, crystal clear mids. Overall very value for money stuff. All bluetooth codec available. Supports aux in from DAP for hires audio. Fantastic overall.
For quite a long duration, I was looking for an budget IEM with a size that would perfectly sink within ear lobe and will not exert any pressure while being a couch potato , on one side. Atlast this is where the search ended.
Aurora is even a bit smaller in size than Sennheiser IE100 Pros, which were my only go to solution at late nights. I already referred to various other reviews about the sound signature of this tiny one, and was quite confident about the other end of the bargain any way. I will not be hence touch the audio signature stuff , since there are plenty detailed reviews on the youtube and many other forums already. It is the ergonomics which is mostly untouched area of any in ear type monitors, that was more profound for me in this case, for long duration of usage. Also liked the quality of the case supplied with , the whole package is absolutely incredible !
This iem fits like a glove, it is so well tuned. The sound profile changes based on what you plug it into.
I was searching for an IEM that fits comfortably for soo long and then I came acrosss this review by Acros. I immediately jumped on it as soon as he said it was light, because so many reviewers talk about how an IEM looks and sound signature and more but never about its weight and fit. He did a comparison with few similarly priced IEMS. This one when compared to Moondrop Aria which I have sounds awesome but it is a pain when wearing it for more that 30 mins. This one I have worn for 3 hours straight and nothing. Perfect for my needs.
I drive it with Fiio BTR3K specifically for the sound profile it offers, on the other ones it sounds too neutral. Thank you Audio Store for stocking this IEM.
Excellent delivery experience, it was a gift wrap.
My first time ordering from the audio store, really impressed.
And the device is marvelous.
Comfortable & Excellent quality. As per heard, i was looking adaptor for my Tangzu Warner sg wired IEM. This KZ AE01 fulfilled my needs for bluetooth adaptor. Music sound quality is good. Fitting is also fine. Call quality is little bit low.
Otherwise ok for bluetooth conversion of IEM.
It surely enhances all parameters of sound quality like stereo effects, vocals, all frequencies, soundstage and imaging.
I am saying it based on a week experience with multiple basic IEM like EPZ Q1 pro, Simgot EW 300 DSP, Moondrop chu 2 with hiby R4 DAP.
Highly recommended to upgrade existing budget IEM.
Although Cable is thick, its very much flexible and handy. No issues while handling and carrying it because of its thickness.
It's thickness enhances overall look of IEM.
Super Bass and ultra clear vocals in
affordable price..
REVIEW AFTER ONE MONTH DAILY USE
Initially, my set up was 'Samsung S 23 ultra + Simgot ew 300 DSP' for daily music listening hobby.
While upgrading from this set up, 1st I bought HIBy R4 DAP, used it for 10 days with same IEM and then decided to go for another big upgrade for iem. After trying existing iem on multiple phones, surprisingly I observed that 'Hiby R4 DAP' is superior even on high-end phones in terms of sound quality.
While upgrading IEM, I kept below criteria and told Mr. Pritam the same.
1. IEM with crystal clear sound with all details & balanced sound.
2. Ultra wide Soundstage & clear imaging
3. Clear stereo effect
4. It should separate Instruments sounds when there are multiple instruments in song/music.
5. It should handle bass heavy songs without compromising vocals & trebles.
6. Comfortable for long hours.
Now after using it more for one month, I can say that -THIS IEM HAS FULLFIELD EACH REQUIREMENT & ASPECT OF SOUND QUALITY.
Only downside I felt that Packaging and Case should be premium in this price tag.
EXPERIENCE WITH AUDIO STORE -
I had some options for IEM in my mind based on previous listening sessions at audio store office as well as youtube & web reviews.
I recently visited audio store office two times for some other product requirement, All those previous options, I tested all of them again. I found that Mr. Pritam's suggestion to buy MK3 over other IEMs is worthy.
Thanks a million Mr. Pritam for always helping & guiding before taking any major purchase.
Superb Cable!
Works well with Zero 2
Value for money product
I am very thank full
I really like the quality of the product not only that I really like your store Too
I want to work with your company as a employee please let me know if there is any openings
I'm an IEM guy and after a long time I've been really impressed with a speaker. And at such a fantastic price point. The sound is so smooth, you can listen to it for hours without feeling fatigued, and most important thing for me was, it sounds just as good on low volume when you want to listen to something in the background, but have guests and are going to talk over it.
Incredible separation. Very good stage, fills a 10x10 area nicely (with windows closed). Bigger area and you might feel the need for two of them (heh). Excellent details on both the bass and treble. This is very much a fun sounding speaker. Female vocals are slightly more recessed than the male ones, but the separation will ensure that they come through nicely nonetheless. Drums on this thing are just a blast (literally!). Strings are so melodious.
Last but not the least, looks are killer. Everyone notices it instantly (although it blends very well with the home decor) and asks what it is. Pick it up. You cannot go wrong.
This headphone needs some time to be given. I have sold these 2 times and bought again and now they are permanent in my collection. I now understand them and you need a seriously good amplification system and then they are much more of a lushfull/true/audiophile sound that surpasses almost all headphones under Rs. 50000 easily (including Hifimans).
