19 x B stock Dawns on their eBay. £80 at the moment. I know there's talk of them just being a cheap rebranding, but are they still worth it if you already have OZAR (at that price)? Edit : According to Brandon from IMR the Dawn "outperforms OZAR and is superior in overall sound". Anyone able...

Yeah, i have to agree here. I've heard most reviewers who have compared the ea500LM and EA1000 conclude that the LM might be the 'better value of the two'. Some replies seem to have taken that as 'better sounding'. As you say, Simgot aren't going to keep it at 70 dollars if it was an upgrade to...

That Jays Audio guy who has heard them seems to suggest the ea1000 is still the more refined sounding of the two. I'm gonna guess from a value perspective the ea500lm will be very good (depending on price), but if the ea1000 still improves on it sound wise, I don't mind spending extra. I'm...

Ps... I'm a bit time limited for buying in time for Xmas delivery and haven't had a reply on the Simgot thread, so hoping I'll get more eyes on this one 😉

Hi all, anyone able to chime in on how male vocals sound with this set? I've read some say they're a bit hidden due to a lack of lower mids body, but I'm wondering to what extent? I'm aware it's a brighter set so that's not an issue, it's just some of my favourite male vocalists are part of...

So I'm on the fence with the ea1000. I'm just trying to find out bit more about male lead vocals in rock music... do they take a backseat due to the tuning of lower mids... and if so, how much? Anyone able to compare to fiio fd5?

Its horrible to say, but I'm surprised someone hasn't taken legal action. Failing to provide goods under a reasonable timeframe and providing misleading information to multiple buyers could be considered fraud. You could call it cybercrime too. There's a lot of defence for IMR for the products...

Also, the cable on the Dawn looks quite cheap... any issues with microphonics?

I guess the issue of a budget chi-fi IEM (which it technically would fall under) is your typical QC issues, over a more premium product. That's not to say premium IEMs don't break tho or that past IMR products don't break either... my EDP broke within an hour 🫣 lol. Anyone have QC issues with...

Any of you experienced the Simgot ea1000 which has been getting a lot of buzz now for a wee bit?

Thanks. So what's your thoughts on them both if you were to compare them? Obviously the OZAR started out a £400 earphone. Not that price always tells the full story! I'm looking for something on par technically... Not a downgrade. Edit: and as I mentioned, I'm after something different in sound...

My favourite IEM is the IMR OZAR... it's got a rich, musical sound, great low end detail. Easily the best bass of any IEM I've ever had. It's been a while tho since I've had a new toy... So looking at the ea1000 as a set that offers a different type of listen. The OZAR has a slightly thicker...

I don't think you can call people "whiny" for being messed around having spent hundreds of pounds. IMR is a business at the end of the day. I had a look thru the old, "Trinity Audio" thread and that thread ended the exact same way this one seems to be heading. Bob got a pass from some loyal...

Amps, DACs, daps... 100% matter. Yeah, getting volume into certain sets is important, but different setups have their own unique flavour. It's why you can hear changes when swapping from source to source. Sometimes subtle, sometimes big. The right combo can make all the difference to the listener.

That's quite the journey over 3 posts. Can I ask why you'd want to purchase the Dawn having just shared your opinion that its, "quite sad" that you've had no transparency on the £1500 product you're waiting for?

If anyone is ever selling their SOG can you pm me

What's with the unbranded cables being sold on the eBay store? I mentioned this a while back regarding tiny IEMs and soundstage... the weight (or lack of weight to be more accurate) and feeling as if there's nothing in your ears, gives the impression of music appearing out with your headspace...

As someone who only has experience with the OZAR and EDP ACE, I haven't got close to the spend a lot of you have on IMR products... Or the grief it's obviously brought to many of you. I did have issues back in the Trinity Audio days tho, which put me off dealing with the company, and Bob. Gave...

Seeing just the Dawn in the shop. Is that IMR's last product?

Not at all. I was trying to reply to multiple POVs from the last few replies to my post. The point you made resonated with me regarding how it could be perceived if the Alibaba set was the same IMR one i.e. no retuning or updated internals. Maybe that kind of markup is the norm when it comes to...

My everyday IEM is the IMR OZAR (with 10mm bespoke CNT ADLC Driver). The cable that came with it didn't really sync well (too sterile, thin sounding) and it's WAY longer than your typical length. I changed to the basic KBEAR 16 Core Copper one which was much better sounding for me, noticeably...

Well this was my initial reaction. I'm totally aware how a business works, I've managed bars and clubs for 25 years. I understand the costs and mark up to final selling price... but IF it was just the exact same $30 IEM - with the exact same sound that is - being resold with some cosmetic tweaks...

I'm confused here... Didn't someone buy a Dawn (lookalike) for $30 and conclude it's the exact same as the IRM Dawn? If so, it's FAR from being priced competitively... nowhere close. Apologies if I've not read through the posts properly.

After the long burn-in and the Tripowin Altea cable (for my Ozar), I use grey/red. This for me is the most balanced sound. Sub bass stays deep enough, not as low as with black (bottom), but tighter. Mids are clear. For more forward vocals, slightly darker top end... Grey/green. This is an easy...

I had the Periodic Audio Be, which is pure beryllium if i remember correctly. The capsule, bullet style shells though were massive and I couldn't get a decent fit with any tip apart from foams... which made it sound WAY too smooth and thick. Extremely musical tho, but way too rich due to the low...
