    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Ordered the Enigma. Let the wait commence. Hopefully they come in time for Christmas (2024). I think Jon's post below described them better than I could. I think a lot is down to them having the best implementation of bone conduction I've heard.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I did wonder this myself as it has slightly different wording on S+ & Enigma pages. Yes not a huge fan of the colour design either. Think the E+ & Titan look the best of the new models.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    After a few months with the Seraph+ nicely burned in I've been in audio heaven with these & the E+. Stand by what I said before about S+ being the closest I've heard in an IEM to electrostatic headphones. These hit you with resolution same as good electrostat over ears. Not just detail &...

    Personally I am enjoying the E+ more than the Semper. They are something special & have set a new bar for me. Glad yours finally left Milton Keynes & made it to you. Think you have nailed the special qualities of the E+ there. The thing about magically rearranging everything into its right...

    I should stop praising them so much to lower expectations but I've liked them since putting them in straight out of the box & they've got better with burn in. Def listen to them from the off as that early bass is crazy but does settle down & trades size for richness. I'm about 200 hours in now...

    I'd moved on from BAs especially all BA set ups. I'm not actually sure why I ordered the E+ really due to this but I liked the description of the sound. So I've been picky with them looking for things I don't like about BAs but not hearing them. The Semper has a bigger soundstage but bizarrely...

    He did put a vid on YouTube saying don't buy IMR & he would never listen to them out of principle. Seems to have gone now. Hope he does listen to a pair as I think a reviewer should review everything regardless. I like his vids altho when I've thrown money at pairs he has raved about (thieaudio...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Had time to compare the Semper & E+ today & something I thought would never do but considering selling the Semper. They are very close but the E+ edges it going back & forth. Fit & comfort is better with the E+ & once they are in they stay in the ear. I think the big difference is the bone...

    Not good to read your first message. Glad you got it sorted quick & hope you're on the mend soon.

    I got a tracking number for Titan & E+ on the 1st November 22. But nothing for the Titan since then. Have you not had any tracking number for them at all? Email Bob if so.

    Love these. Did you make them yourself?

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Great album. The number of times I've said I'll just listen to stayin alive & ended up listening to all of it is crazy. For me yes. Its the best I've heard for electronic music but plays anything well. Although it sounds like you can't go wrong with any of these new models & the BC23 may have...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Yes this. 80 hours in bass has settled a little down from its out of the box insanity but is still on course to be my favourite IMR bass. Comparing with the DM today which has fabulous bass & are fully burned in the E+ goes deeper has more impact & is more detailed. Mids are more prominent...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Interesting you have found this synergy. I think amp12 is the 300s version of amp8 on the 220. So Amp12exn could be similar to amp8fe & the Astra sing with this amp. DX220 + amp8fe + PWAudio m2 cable is my favourite setup for the Astra. I hadn't seen the npaudio site so was good to see as they...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    When the E+ arrived I was listening to the DM & put them in straight away & the difference was noticeable. The ba's make the mids more prominent and add detail to the highs. Placement is on point as well. Yes I like the Astra a lot. I scaled down the collection this year & the IMRs I kept are...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I tell you Bob is onto something with these ba's. Like you I'm not a fan of them usually. It's a decade since I put a lot of money into a multi ba IEM but these are some of the best vocals & mids I've heard. I had to look at the IMR site to check the driver setup of them as I'd forgot what they...

    I always like Ibasso daps with IMRs (DX220 & 300MAX) but a friend has the AP80 & I was very impressed with it. Seems very good value. I own the old old BC and I like them a lot they are always a fun listen but I honestly think the DM is a better bass cannon & the E+ surpasses both. Always...

    These Elan+ are very special. I'm loving them so far. Think they could replace the DM in the line up which says a lot given how much I love the DM. The Elan+ match the intensity & intimacy of the DM but take things deeper & wider. I'm using the same tips I use on the DM - azla crystal light...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    They are worth the wait. I got the "there is something coming email" 2 Thursdays ago so just over a week from then. Checked the tracking number yesterday and nothing was happening so was surprised to get them today. Hopefully they all are on their way now and you get a nice surprise in the post.

    Elan+ Are in the house. Have only had a small listen but they put that smile on my face you get when you know they are good. They remind me of the dark matter but more refined. The same power but higher quality. Thunderous bass. Some pics comparing the size to Dark Matter & big daddy Semper...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Really liking the blue ets filter on the Astra. Tried a couple (blue & silver) on the DM and preferred the Black/ blue set up already had. The blue was closest to Black/ blue on the DM but seemed to change the shape of the sound and placement which was already where I wanted it. Silver removed...

    This Z2 sounds good. How does it compare to the DM? Made the mistake of fancying a couple of tunes before bed. That was over 2 hours ago can feel this being a long one as everything sounds so good. Also I finally got hold of an Amp8EX for my DX220 a couple of months ago and the synergy with...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Very interested to hear how they compare. I like to hear new driver types and the effect they have and also like to hear what Bob has done with them so it was hard to choose the Titan over them. Wonder if it will make another appearance in an IMR?

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I had the Seraph+ & Elan+ ordered but was very interested in the Titan based on Bobs description & mailed him to see if I could swap one for the Titan. I was heading towards swapping the Elan+ as I was interested to hear the Mems driver but Bob got back to say if I wanted the Titan he...
