from 3538 reviewsClean, clear sound with very good refinement and control in the treble region. Solid build quality. Almost all the tunings can be done through physical buttons on the DAC. Coming to music.. Sounds great, bit warm. Just started exploring the DAC with different music genres. Paired this with ISN Neo 3 IEM and simply awesome. Takes listening experience to the next level
As rest of the buyers have already given detailed technical reviews so I’ll just keep it short.
Coming from ISN Audio Neo 3, I can tell these are in a completely different league in terms of everything. Neo 3 Pros certainly have a WOW factor when it comes to its beautiful soundstage. Its almost hard to believe how such small IEMs have such wide and accurate soundstage.
One thing - The sound signature of Planar Magnetic is noticeably different than your regular Dynamic + BA driver IEMs. For Planars : Its like the music is being played at a constant-fixed intensity while you are sitting at the centre of the stage and music uniformly filled around you. While Dynamic + BA gives you a sound signature where music is thrown directly at you in a straight line with varying intensity of lows, highs and mids.
So in my opinion Planars are not for everyone or you might have to adapt to their sound signature. I think Planars don’t have the “exciting” factor, but a soft, wide soundstage and technical-detailing factor. (LOL its hard to turn my exact thoughts into words )
I made my purchase decision after researching little bit on websites, YouTube and product technical specs. The DAC has sufficient power and it comes in clean. It lets you listen to the IEM and not the flavour of the DAC, I suppose that’s how all the DACs should be in first place.
My best combo with the DAC is with Turthear Hexa, the clarity & sound stage is huge fun. With right songs and closed eyes you have a concert going on in your mind.
I like the DAC and for me it is worth for its price.
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.
I like Abigail pro dongle very much. It is very portable,light weight. I will buy one more in future
Expensive but it’s a well made cable, it looks premium, I bought the lightning to type c to use my moondrop dawn pro with iPhone and it works perfectly and it also matches the dawn pro look wise
Pros:
Pretty looks
Good build quality
Excellent Bass Response
Soundstage Is Well Rounded
Cons:
Included eartips
Not satisfied with the DSP cable lots of noise and buggy app
Super fast delivery by audiostore received my package in just 1day
Thanks Audio Store for recommending FAAEL balanced cable for my IEM, I am enjoying every bit of it. Sound clarity and dynamics have certainly became a tad nicer. Having fun listening for long hours
I'm just a new man to this Audiophile world.
Before buying to an IEM below Rs - 2000/-, verified lot of IEM earphones.
Finally stopped at 7HZ Salnotes Zero and ordered it from "TheAudioStore".
After listening songs from this IEM ear phones, just felt like I'm in a big home theatre.
What a craft piece it is.
A very good audio IEM pair engineered with the best sound.
No deep Bass, not much treble. Able to hear a clear voice in a song.
Just surprised with a big smile how they are giving this great IEM phones at this minimal price :) .
Before buying it viewed some comments like "dull bass and low mid bass notes while listening" from some users.
Still don't know why they commented like that ?
If they want to listen deep Bass or deep treble or any other specific note then why they're choosing IEM's. LoL.
There are lots of other earphone pairs available in market, can give deep Bass which are suppressing voice, treble and other instrument sounds.
For me 7HZ salnotes Zero is for the people who are to enjoy the each and every note in a Hi-Res song.
Started my Audiophile journey with the BEST 7HZ Salnotes Zero IEM. Hope this may lead to add more best devices in future.
Thanks to LINSOUL for crafting a great powered IEM, hats off to your research and engineering on this IEM.
Thanks to AudioStore for making this product available at lower price with comparing other available sources.
After a lot of contemplation and reading reviews about many IEMs in this price range, I settled for Simgot EW200 IEM under Rs 5k. I am happy that I did make a right choice. My observations are based on about 10-15 hours use with iphone 13 pro (wiith both apple dongle and also with Fiio Q1 DAC) and Tempotec V6 DAP. Played FLAC, WAV files from my downloads, lossfree apple music. Listened to variety of genres- Indian classical, Bollywood, Abba, Beetles, Fusion, apple top 100 , Instrumental etc.
Plus points
- Very clear notes and natural timbre. Instruments appear strongly as they should
-Imaging was beautiful when I played instrumental fusion by Bickram Ghosh. 6 drums with other accompaniments were played distinctly and clearly. One could visualise their location.
- Shifting from one to another side ear is flawless
- Good reproduction and dynamics for all genres
Improvements I would love
- Mids are little too bright for me, a little taming and rounding would be nice, I used EQ on my DAP to get what I like.
- The original tips lose the grip after some time. I replaced them with my Spinfit CP 100 + and problem was resolved to a great extent. The hard part of nozzle starts aching my left ear after an hour or so. Shape of nozzle and my ear do not seem to agree well. May be someday I will try foam or Spinfit W1 tips. (can Audiostore could suggest a right one ?)
Overall, it is a great value for money. It has a clarity more than my IMR splash of Red, which are 4 times pricier.
I am happy with this purchase and am using my SIMGOT EW 200 every day.
Thank you Audiostore team for a prompt despatch and adding joy to my life,
First of all hats off to this site, the product delivery experience left me no complaints (I am always skeptical of ordering stuff using online services from new sites)
Now for the IEM in question:
After one month of use I have to say I'm head over heels for this, as it has surpassed my expectations in of an IEM in this price range, I have tried IEMs and Headphones ranging over 5k+ but this has clearly beaten them off the charts, the audio quality is clear and way more natural to what I prefer unlike many who have boosted bass range clearly out there to destroy your ears. I was surprised by the volume too, as the max output is pretty dang loud and a good thing is you can easily separate instruments from vocals that blend in if you focus enough on it, but I would still say it slightly lacks in dimensionality well figures from the structure and size you can't expect it to be able to produce that but I would say in this price range I'm more than satisfied with this IEM.
The only time I would go over to Chinese Jade Beauty over Anime Girl IEM :p
Xduoo XD05 Pro. -This chonky bad boi is more fun than finesse, on the default ESS dac & op-amps. It has a somewhat colored sound, in a good way. Emphasis is on sub-bass; mids are beautiful and treble is non-offensive but not rolled-off and certainly not fatiguing in any way. Very enjoyable overall. Explosive dynamics and thundering bass - ideal for genres such as classic rock and EDM. Popular pop songs also sounds awesome. Ability to replace the DAC and the op-amps is a fantastic value proposition. High-quality accessories galore. Quite powerful for driving full-size planars; massive battery. Nifty piece of gear which can be end-game for many not only because of sound quality but also because of its versatility (can change stock DAC to RoHM; AKM; stock op-amps to LME or Sparkos). Go for it!
After much deliberation between hidiz MP 145 and this i went ahead with it...and oh boy !! What should I say...I was right all along ...I mean these are fun IEM, a treat to your ears !! The sub bass and the lush vocals for desi genre music ...one word ..perfect !!!!
Using this since 8 months without any problem. Build is very sturdy. Recommended over wired DAC. I consider this as a long term investment.
I have been using this iem from last 2-3 months. First time I saw this iem from z reviews and after that my craving started.
The first trial was not good because it sounded muddy and suprresd but after 3 days continuous listening I found the real happiness.
This iem really maintains almost all aspects...good sub bass , nice mids and cleaner trable. Good dynamics and separation.
This iem is best in it's price segment and I have never regreted .
Keep in mind that the stock cable is good but with a good silver cable it shines.
