Owners will typically want to replace the cable, experiment with different ear pads, and use a headband cover during the course of their long ownership of this headphone. I say long ownership because they are built to last and they will. I'd start with the headband cover, because the underside of the headphone tends to get soiled in an unsightly way the more it is used.

The cable I can use is the "new" version from Focal. Before, they had a thicker and more rigid cable by default.
Regarding the pads, I'm not a fan of that. And even less at these prices. Spending €500 or the €1000 it was worth to have to change the pads and experiment, I don't think it's fair. There will be those of us who will gladly do it but I don't see it well. The changes are very subtle.
Yes Yes. In the Focal Clear the top of the headband also gets stained.

Thanks for comment.

Another fire cracker of a review, brother, you absolutely never disappoint! And your images?! Dude. Excellent!

Awesome write up. Photos are incredible, bravo my friend!

Excellent comparisons Mars. EA1000 is a real class act!

Thanks David

What an exciting time for single DD fans. I had the EA1000 and the Falcon Ultra at one stage, I kept the EA1000 because it has more defined and textured bass. But now I miss the Falcon Ultra’s euphoric sound, better imaging and less cramped soundstage. I think it’s impossible to clearly say which is better, or to say which can replace the other. I think the same applies to the Origin.

@zeissiez that was perfectly put. I completely agree with you. The Falcon Ultra is a special iem with its own flavor to the sound and it's right up there with the rest of them. This hobby is RICH in great single DD's at the moment, that's for sure.

Another great review Mr. Chris, so I was wondering is the a replacement to the Oxygen? so how's upper/treble region forward/spicy/sparkle/airy/extended?, I was wondering if I should I get the Dunu Falcon Ultra the blue version or the Origin?

@Redcarmoose;

Incredible and suggestive entry. Although very subjective, as always. Consulting with a trial error master is always convenient. It could be better than the NEO3? Everything stays at home.

With patience and a lot of reading I will have my small and coherent collection of extremely portable digital audio...I love small things.

Thanks!

Claiming that “I am not a reviewer”, dropping a kickass review good job mate.

@o0genesis0o You always post some of my favorite comments, you're the man. Thanks for the support always!

warm bassy musicality at its best.

extremely addictive

Great review! I am really happy with the X, otherwise I’d be really tempted…

The appeal of these I can understand. At the price point there will not be too many that will top these for bass engagement. These are what I hoped the old GR07s should have been. I think if I didn't have the TSMR-X already these would be a no brainer but they have their own appeal.

I quote
"Folks that have never heard a Tansio Mirai IEM before and you're a bass fan, these might be a good place to start. For the guys that own the TSMR-X do you need to get this one? Nope not really. Well that is unless you feel the need to get a more simpler bass driven version of the TSMR-X for out and about. And or your just a huge fan of what Tansio Mirai has been cooking up lately and have to have them all."

Excellent review mate.
and nice song too. love both Trent and Johnny version of Hurt.

@NymPHONOmaniac i really both versions as well, both versions show and bring a other message's with the same text just a complete diffent way of bringing a song
