Tansio Mirai - TSMR Armor (TANSIO MIRAI ARMOR)

The laid back treble 'fix' (if you want more) is to turn it up louder, the treble is so silky smooth you won't get fatigue. I was also worried about the 8k dip before I purchased but I don't notice anything missing in the treble response, it all sounds really natural and my least 'coloured' sounding highs of all my iems. I'm normally eq-ing the snot out of the highs in my other sets but haven't had to touch the armors.

Listed from cheapest to most expensive: CVJ Luki KB Ears Rosefinch 7hz Legato 7hz Diablo Fatfreq Deuce TSMR Armor TLDR winner: TSMR Armour So I've been on the hunt for an IEM that works well for metal with thunderous bass that clearly defines kick drum from bass guitar. I'm treble sensitive and what would probably be considered an extreme bass-head in this community, so my opinions will probably only be valid for a small selection of you but hopefully this helps someone. Impressions (favourite to least favourite) without any EQ: Armor: does everything right for my ears. The only IEM that I haven't felt the need to touch EQ. Kick and bass guitar are balanced wonderfully and a really pleasant warm sound signature without fatiguing highs yet still sounds clear and transparent. Is an absolute monster if you plug in to the deuces impedance adaptor. Diablo: Similar thoughts to the Armor. Less sub bass than the armour but has fantastic midbass punch thanks to the planar. Also a pleasant warm signature though the slightly boosted uppermid/high presentation makes me slightly prefer the Armor. Close contest though! Deuce: lots of sub bass but in stock form without EQ the lack of midbass makes it sound thinner and more brittle than the other two above when listening to rock and metal. Highs are a bit harsh for my ears without the midbass to smooth it out. This pair sounds fantastic for genres I don't really listen to much though - think any music that's sub bass heavy - R&B, hip-hop etc. With EQ the deuce can be made to work well for rock and has the largest quantity of sub bass of the others, so its still a set I enjoy using depending on my mood. This pair made me decide to not try Martilos as they seem to have a similar tuning looking at graphs and reviews. Legato: plenty of sub and mid bass but lacking some definition between kick and bass guitar. Upper frequencies are a mixed bag: a little muffled/veiled yet also has some sibilance. Probably the one set I wouldn't recommend as it sits in an odd price bracket where it's just outside of 'cheap' where you get the value for money recommendation yet just a little below the midrange bracket which are a significant step up. Rosefinch: similar to legato - less veiled but has a very irritating fatiguing spike at around 8k that kills this pair for me. With EQ these turn in to quite a good value for money bass-head pair though. These are my knock around pair for travel, workout etc. This pair with a cheap peq dongle like the JA11 would be my budget conscious recommendation. Luki: just a super cheap $10 set to test out bone conduction. Not enough sub bass and wonky tuning. EQing helps a little but still sounds cheap. However I love the way it made bass guitar sound in some tracks - assuming that's the BCD. Makes me want to try something like the Penon Archangel but for now I'm satisfied with the Armor and not sure I want to push this hobby in to the high price bracket when I have nowhere in my hometown to 'try before you buy' (Brisbane).

Tansio Mirai Armor should be nr 1 imho

Tansio Mirai Armor or Sound Rhyme SR7. For orchestral music you need something that feels orchestral and cinematic. Either of these should do it.

I prefer the TSMR Armor. Most people shy away from it because of the treble dip around 8k-10k, but it's actually intentional to make it more natural to how your ear catches sound in that frequency. The dip is done to simulate outer ear effects since an iem bypasses all that and goes straight into your ear canal. I think a lot Penon and TSMR stuff are underrated because the popular Youtubers don't make videos on them and their tuning scares people because there's deviations from harman or whatever is meta nowadays.

So much bass my head exploded. These sound good, but I have a real problem with the venting. Or rather, lack of adequate venting. These build up a pressure in my ear canal and become uncomfortable for me unlike anything else.

I’ve had both and the Martilo was better—more refined and easy to listen to, especially with those translucent/red tips that they come with. The Armors were sort of gimmicky with those three switches.

TSMR armor! They're pretty great. I put the tuning switch onto treble since this set has a lot of bass. Feel free to ask any questions!

You're a part of the reason I looked into it :) Thank you, though! I love this set 🫶

I currently only have 2 other sets, the bunny dsp and kiwi ears aether. This one blows the bunny out of the water, but it's slightly more comparable to the aether. The armor definitely has more bass than the aether, even when I set the tuning switch to treble. I would have to say it's powerful and punchy but also clean. The bass quality is comparable to the aether, but it's also more impactful. This set also has a bit more depth and better laying. The mids are smooth and natural. I've noticed that even though the treble doesn't pop out as much or have the same amount of emphasis as the aether, it's still smooth and I guess it's pretty warm? I've also tried the 5+2, and the armor is just better in every way. From my 20 minutes of using it, theyre actually somewhat comparable in terms of sound profile, but the hardware and tuning on the 5+2 is just worse. Sorry I didn't have a lot of other sets I could compare it to. I guess I could say that the armor has a pretty medium size and has a pretty bad cable, but that's really it. If you want more details, let me know.

$289 USD, I got it for like $305 somewhere local but it was 100% worth being able to listen to it first. Also I got to try a bunch of expensive sets that I couldn't afford so 😋

YES. That's literally my only complaint. I've tried it with another 2 pin and it works just fine. I don't have recommendations for cables or tips, but I will say the stock tips are fine.

That's a job for the TSMR Armor, I recently did an overview and found it similar to my Explorer, the more you crank it the better it gets. https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/s/Sp9HxcGoIa

Sounds like a job for TSMR Armor, I recently did an overview on them. Bass is punchy, rumbly, and fun to listen to https://preview.redd.it/qssllxh7185g1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e11ebe50562e8f6cafd44dbc70a475f6872df9db

Thirding ! (It's your fault Mck_motion, you got me too... but the Armor's a beast, you were right)

I ordered the Armor 😊

Even though I like bass I am afraid the Armor is not versatile enough, like a one trick pony. I think the h60 will work with whatever music I throw at it but I can be completely wrong. Other option is the Neo 3, costing 168,- it costs about half as the other options… also it will depend what discounts are given…

I ordered the Armor 😊

Tansio Mirai Armor is for me the best sub 750,- IEM you can buy right now.
