Welcome to the Tipsy IEM Tech Lab—where every in-ear monitor is engineered and manufactured to the highest standards, with an obsessive focus on detail. We don’t rely on marketing buzz—claiming “<1% distortion at select frequencies” or vague “average <1%” figures—to make bold promises. Instead, we publish comprehensive Frequency Response and THD graphs for every model, because we’re confident our precision design speaks for itself.
Here, you’ll find the latest Frequency Response (FR) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) graphs for the M1, M3, and every upcoming model, along with clear, jargon-free analysis. Bookmark this page, because we’ll update it with fresh data every time we launch a new product!
M1 – “Warm & Smooth” Studio Driver
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD ≤ 0.5 %)
-
20–200 Hz: Tiny 5 % spike at 20 Hz, then falls under 0.3 %—bass stays tight with zero fuzz.
-
200 Hz–1 kHz: Just 0.05–0.2 %—vocals and guitars come through crystal-clear.
-
1–10 kHz: Peaks below 0.4 %—treble remains silky, without crackle.
Frequency Response
-
Sub-bass (20–60 Hz): +2 dB lift for a touch of warmth.
-
Mid-bass → Low-mid: Gentle 8 dB roll-off to prevent muddiness.
-
Presence (1 kHz): Slight dip for a relaxed vocal placement.
-
Clarity (2–4 kHz): +10 dB peak to make leads and vocals pop.
-
Upper Treble (8–12 kHz): Single smooth peak for fatigue-free sparkle.
Real-World Sound
M1’s bass bump adds body to everyday tracks, while smooth mids and clear highs keep long listening sessions or gaming marathons comfortable and engaging.
M3 – “Open & Detailed” Hybrid Monitor
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD ≤ 1 %)
-
20–200 Hz: Flat, precise extension under 0.5 %.
-
200 Hz–1 kHz: 0.05–0.3 % for razor-sharp midrange detail.
-
1–10 kHz: Slight hill near the crossover (0.8–1 %), inaudible but adds resolution.
Frequency Response
-
Sub-bass: Neutral-flat for pinpoint punch.
-
Presence (1 kHz): Slightly higher plateau for forward vocals.
-
Clarity (2–4 kHz): +11 dB broad peak for airy detail.
-
Upper Treble: Multiple micro-peaks for extra shimmer.
Real-World Sound
M3 excels at critical listening and competitive gaming. Fast, defined bass, forward-center vocals, and a wider soundstage give you an edge in FPS titles and every nuance in your mixes.
Future Models
We’re constantly innovating. Every new IEM we release will get its own set of FR and THD charts—right here—so you can compare performance across the entire Tipsy lineup. Stay tuned for the next deep dive!
