I blind bought the TSMR X as my first IEM!

I wrote about thw X vs Shock here :slight_smile:

The X are fun, bassy and good separation, but I find the mids lacking body these days. I prefer punch, estrella, and shock over X.

That pad swap looks interesting! Which ones did you use? From my experience, those thicker, deeper pads really add some nice additional kick in the sub-bass due to the increased distance from the ear. Rest of the frequency response is another story, mostly dependent on material, but thatā€™s why we experiment.

If you havenā€™t tried the Ultrasone Signature X, I highly recommend doing so at some point, even with the (very legitimate) build quality concerns. My all-time favorite closed backs for roundhouse kick to the eardrum levels of bass but still good all-around sound. Those thick pads reminded me of them.

Thicker pads usually seals better, I believe that is the bigger factor for this.

Looks like Bass is back.
Fatfreq showed a market and shit on their own customers.
Any companies filling that void with good QC/ Branded drivers and no absolute abuse of customersā€¦is welcome.
Lets go team BASS!!!

Sorry to hear that, feel better soon.

We have had fans drying out our basement after the backup and steam cleaning. After 10 days of the fans running, our house is quiet. I actually went to the library to listen to the music Wed. evening for an hour or so, because the house was too noisy, and it was too cold outside to sit on the patio.

I am waiting on a collab set that wonā€™t be afraid to go mid-bass heavy. Need SLAM, heft, lower midrange presence. High Volume set.

2 really well tuned sets.

It is said the drivers hold them back.
Interesting as fuck
:thinking:
So yah saying the driver quality is what makes the tuningā€¦ great?
And custom/trust us bro drivers are ignored when itā€™s your friends or a company you wanna support?
Either tuning matters or drivers matter or waitā€¦itā€™s both :melting_face:
Why are we talking about no named drivers in 2025?

My badā€¦itā€™s folks who got approached and paid cash or goods to pump that shit onto the community.
Knowles and Sonion allow you to mention them if they are custom done by themā€¦itā€™s part of the deal.

Yeah, Iā€™m using pads from Modhouse for fit and seal. Stock pads too shallow. Love the sound stock but not comfort (stock)
