I've seen that problem of selling of R2 Red, that's pity.
I'd have to agree. I think my Elan had more raw molar-rattling bass, but the DM deliver more refined, controlled, "audiophile" appropriate bass. Nothing exaggerated.
Lol, welcome aboard. I figured this out many months ago. The Zii is probably my favorite IEM. I've been gushing over it ever since I got it.
I'M warming to the Zenith11 I think my problem was I bought 6 sets of iems in a 6 week period Inc senn ie600, AKG n5005, Acoustune HS1670SS, ikk OH10, dunu vernus and the edp ace and they got neglected. what bottom filter are you using? I'm on red and think they might need a touch more bass
I'm using purple lower and red upper with Whizzer SS20 tips (short, wide bore). To me, I want tips to get out of the way, not influence the sound. For my ear canal geometry, the SS20 works well. For others, different tips may work better. But I hear a lot of people trying to use tips as tuning devices, where I have the opposite opinion. I have found the SS20 tips to work best on EVERY IEM that I have in my collection (and I've done a TON of tip rolling). They're a great match for my ear shape and I've stopped trying to use other tips to change the sound.
I was toying around the 1670ss during the weekend, man, we are in amazing hifi times, those are some of the best headphones ever built, sad to see em neglected by many in the community, as well other little monster that has been on my weekly rotation: the all amazing t8ie by A&K and Beyer. Both 1 single DD with amazing clarity.
The Acoustune are superb and have a unique sound with astounding clarity and attack. The Opus Mia again has an incredible bass and lush mids so many brilliant iems so little time.
As a self confessed bass person I tend to go with the raw settings of black lower, blue uppers except on the DM, black lower, gold upper. Although the bass of the Zenith is 'big' it's much less digital than the 'big' impactful bass of the DM and the Zenith II has that analogue bass sound, fitting for 60's, all the way through to modern music. I have a 'lot' of ChiFi IEMs but none quite have that analogue 'Western' sound structure of the Zenith II, and I agree that the Zenith II, along with a couple of other IMR IEMs, should be full time as part of the IMR catalogue. That longevity would make IMR directly in competition with some big brands and thus IMR being known by all and reviewed by all.
As my first purchase from IMR, this is pertty disappointing. I've never bought from Drop because I don't believe in having my money tied up indefinitely. It's one thing to know from the start that they would be coming out in late Dec / early Jan etc, but the shifting date is how cancellations are made. I won't be cancelling mine yet though.
Hello, Na-Le is my first ever purchase from IMR. I have not received any email about the change in the shipping day. From where do you know this, please? Should we not receive an email update about this?
Welcome to IMR club. There is no email update on shipping of Na-Le. I got it from IMR website description. Initially the shipping date was December 2022. But it was changed to November just before final payment of the pre-order. Now it is late November/December 2022.
