Yep, my first purchase was a full retail Zenith I.

I did for the edp ace and i think its worth the new £500 price not the original price

For me it's vice versa. The Zii should be 500£ but we all have different taste and that is good so.

Not sure if this is the right place, anyone got a PDF of the manual for IMR products? I've got the ozar but will take anything, really, mostly just wanna make sure im not gonna break it swapping the filters, theyre so small.

Can you state exactly what is your requirement? There are no procedure of swapping the filters written in the manuals that are provided alongwith.

The filters are easy to use just be careful not to cross thread I find it easier the choose a bottom filter screw it on to the iem then experiment with the top filters by changing them to suit my preferences a good starting point is black bottom red top

Honestly just worried about breaking em, really. If it is that simple then I shouldn't need it, though if theres a list somewhere of what each of the filters and bases does that would be good too, I know I can just test them all but theres *so many combinations* that I'd rather have a helping hand.

This should help although please note its more about the synergy / relationship between the filters and your Source but this is roughly how they work:

(Once you are happy with cable + tips) )Suggest starting with the level of bass that you are happy with ans THEN try different upper treble filters to tweak the mids / highs to your preference

Nozzle and bass quantity:

[Least amount of bass] - Green – silver – pink – red – grey – gold – blue - black - [Most amount of bass]



Filter and treble quantity:

[Least amount of treble] - Gold – green – pink – red – black - blue - [Most amount of treble]

You can further tweak bass response [mainly] by using different tips or different material cable. The IMR cable are high quality single crystal copper ​

Thank you! This helps a whole lot!
I gotta find the right combo, but knowing what is suppose to do what is definitely what I want. Like I've been on all blues and think the treble is a bit much, so I know that the next one to try is black, rather than just going through em one by one.

When changing the filters I usually use a spare tip to grip the filter and twist off
Whenever I find treble a bit much I usually find the gold upper filter is my go to

Also - IMR' IEM's need a minimum of 300 hours burn - Ideally 5-600 hours in total !
This process allows them to fully settle into their best. They can end up sounding very different from out of the box
Totally up to the individual of course but leaving them running with some good dynamic music, just louder than normal listening levels for this time will allow the IEM to present its very best self

I'm quite liking blue base red tip at the moment, but it's cool that there's so much customisability, definitely impressed with the sound

Nice We tend to forget how much or how important the source is you use to effect the sound. Listening from a phone versus listening from a high end desktop amp is of course going to give you quite a different experience but... if your IEM makes you smile when using it then that is the most important measure of all

Anyway, welcome to the IMR thread community. One of the nicest, helpyest, genuine threads out there

You've certainly been that way so far! Still not sure if IEMs are what I want, getting the fit right is a pain in the ass but when it's perfect the sound is stellar~ Almost beats my audeze, if only they'd stop pushing themselves out of my ears.
