Hi there,
I recently bought the TSMR 3 Pro but found it to be very sibilant, particularly in the “ch” and “sh” consonants. I also found the noise isolation to be poor. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems? Also how would the TSMR 3 pro compare to the DM6 overall?

You can switch to Up, Down, Down, try with foam tips or pair with a copper cable.
For me, the TSMR-3 Pro is better than the DM6 with more articulated bass, clearer midrange and extended treble.

Thanks for your reply! So is there a big difference between the DM6 and TSMR 3 Pro or is it just a minor one? Also, are you saying if I change the TSMR 3 pro to a copper cable, the sound quality will improve and stop the sibilance? What would you say are the best IEM’s in the $200 price range now?

I feel the difference is neither major nor minor. As mentioned earlier, the TSMR-3 Pro improves with more articulated bass, clearer midrange and extended treble. I recommend the ISN C16. Definitely one of the best in the $200 price range. Cheers!

I bought a copper cable for the TSMR 3 Pro but there is still a lot of sibilance for the ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ and ‘s’ consonants. Using foam tips also didn’t help. I am using the S9 as a driver. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Unfortunately, I have not experienced this particular copper cable.
I just tested for you out of my S10 with different switch combinations & tips.
I recommend Up, Down, Down & Acoustune AET08 tips (Need to position at an angle & force fit the tips as the bore is slightly smaller). Cheers!

Hi again. I just realized that the tips you recommended are only sold in China. I wanted to buy them to test them out but it would take a week to arrive and by the time I got the product, I wouldn’t be able to return my TSMR 3 Pro if it didn’t fix the sibilance issues. Therefore I ended up returning the TSMR 3 Pro.

To me the difference between TSMR 3 Pro and DM6 are huge, DM6 sounds warm and slightly back while vocal on TSMR 3 Pro are more forward and shouty sometimes, snare sounds sound artificial sometime but treble are smoother even if it has “sibilance” (acceptable to me as it’s not “s” sound but “ch” which are softer), DM6 treble sound more picky.
The best analogy I can give is DM6 sounds like under the ocean while TSMR 3 Pro sound like it’s surface, both are as wide but everything in DM6 sound focused while TSMR 3 is a more global representation (doesn’t cut down “airy” frequency to make clean sound) (I think this is what people refer to “wet” and “dry” sound, not sure of those term)
You should have tried Down Down UP before returning. As only bass are affected when using switch, this mean that treble stay the exact same, if they stay the exact same but bass get lowered, it result in a smoother treble as the relative difference between spike get smaller. But that make song too bright so I use Down UP UP.
It’s when I listened to Eric Clapton Autumn Leaves that I realized treble get smoother with Down Down UP (but it work on song like that because they’re not bright, also, it add way more transparency in that song)
Also thanks for recommending me TSMR 3 Pro, I prefer them way more than my DM6 (I like forward and not warm vocal).
Ordered Tin Audio P1, they’re warm but I hope vocal are still forward (slight warm is okay if it’s forward like the HD 58X)
