Wait 200h to lose mids veil and 150h to have good bass and highs but I think this ****ing IEM could sounds better with many hours... be patient or plug it to something and wait

Hi all, just wanted to ask something.
I bought an IMR R1 last year I think it was, but ended up returning it as there was a weird issue where I felt a kind of pain where the IEM body touched my ear. Seemed like an electrical thing.
Bob offered a replacement of course, but I was pretty freaked out (and still somewhat cautious from the whole Trinity thing) so I just got a refund. No issues at all with the service; it was exemplary.

But I kind of stumbled upon this thread again, and the new Opus Mia & Semper look amazing and I'm very interested to hear them. I think for me these are aesthetically the best design Bob's come up with yet

So I'm wondering if anyone else had that issue I described and if it was ever established what caused it?

And was it just then, back in the day (so to speak), or has it cropped up on any of the more recent offerings?
Many thanks

I haven't read of a similar issue in the multiple threads. Must have been your unique circumstances. Could be a skin sensitivity issue, like some people have with Magnesium.

Hi all!
IMR order finally made me register and become a member of Head-Fi instead of being silent reader.

Still burning my Opus Mia, will try to find out "my combination" within upcoming weeks. Currently using red nozzle + blue filter = feels fine for now.
Comparison with Xelento is somewhat I am looking forward now but seems IMR will outrun Beyers in terms of versatility.

Checked some impression pieces within the thread - and keep looking for more insight!

Currently using red nozzle + blue filter = feels fine for now.

This is the exact combination I've been using with the EDP.

Was it like a low voltage electric shock while you are listening to the iems? I had such an experience feels like there’s a continuous electricity leakage causing a stinging sensation from the metal shells of the iems and it’s a $150-200 chi-fi iem I bought maybe 2-3 years ago. I have never experienced the same thing on any of the IMR iems (I have quite a few from the original R1 to opus Mia), though, and have not seen anyone reported such an issue with IMR iems.

wich dap and combo filters do you use?

Currently on blue and red

 

[Tjhfirefighter]

I think Mia needs many hours to sounds very good

Have taken your suggestion and I am attempting to burn in for a few more days before I consider mailing out to Bob. Maybe I just have not hit the sweet spot was burning yet so I’ll do that for a few more days and then take another listen. Thanks for the suggestion

Got a weird question to community (it was probably asked sometime ago but haven't faced it during thread scraping)

Have you tried asymmetric combination of filters?

I think what you are describing is what I felt.
One or two other people definitely mentioned this issue with regards to IMR earphones (but it could have been on the Audio Lounge thread or some other place) around the time I bought them.

Anyway, the good news is that since everyone seems to have no experience of such issues, it was probably just an early QC glitch that has long since been addressed (this occurred almost 2 and half years ago!)

Which of the current line up do you all think has the most bass slam and rumble?
And aside from that, which has the best technical performance?

Purely in terms of appearance (including colour), the Opus Mia is the one I most want, but since I'm an audiophile and all, I suppose I ought to pay some attention to the audio performance too

I would say the opus Mia takes the position being the strongest performer currently among the IMR lineup and it definitely slams hard on the bass/sub bass department, at least compares to the Rah and PB1. Great news is that they are available to order as well.

Thank you to everyone that bought the last of the OM... temptation addressed by eliminating the choice!
