Youtube Video Summary
Twistura D-Minor positions itself as a complete entry level kit around 29-30 USD, keeping a similar metal shell to D-Major but with a darker finish. In the box are a USB-C dongle, two sets of tips, an SPC cable that is thin and prone to tangling, a pouch, and three tuning nozzles (red, black, blue) that step through brightness levels. For newcomers this bundle removes setup friction and lets the user experiment with tips and nozzles from day one.
The sound targets a warm, fun balance: a noticeably elevated bass shelf and pulled-down treble create a smoother, non-fatiguing, more forgiving listen than D-Major. Red nozzle is the safest starting point, with bass boosted above a Harman-like baseline and treble kept relaxed; moving to black or blue increases treble energy if desired. D-Minor uses an LCP dynamic driver (D-Major touts a plated composite diaphragm), so technicalities are modest for the price, but the tuning and value make it an easy recommendation for an entry level buyer who wants plug-and-play convenience.

Reviewer Score
Twistura D-Minor is an ultra-budget single-dynamic IEM that leans on a 10 mm dual-magnetic driver with an LCP dome diaphragm. The shell uses a zinc-alloy front chamber with a resin rear, and the package notably adds three replaceable filter nozzles (Reference / Classical / Pop) plus a USB-C DAC adapter, which is uncommon at this price; street pricing sits around $30. These hardware details are documented by major retailers and the EU listing.
Tonally, community impressions describe a mildly V-shaped baseline with crisp perceived detail and punchy bass for the class; the swappable nozzles shift that balance from a more balanced “Reference” to a warmer, bass-boosted “Classical,” or a brighter, more lively “Pop.” Stage width and imaging are competitive at the price, though absolute micro-detail and treble refinement remain modest as expected in this segment. These observations are consistent across user reports and product pages that outline the filter behavior and accessories.
