Sorry I know this isn't quite the right thread, but it is an IMR thread...
I've been trying to piece together news about the new IMR over ear headphones. It sounds like Bob is targetting two models, both hybrids.
According to Instagram last year "One is a planar and wide band dynamic. The second is a wide band dynamic, planar and AMT driver. Styled and tuned in only the way IMR can.".
Then the latest email before Christmas says... "This won't look like other headphones (apart from headband etc.) and as you will come to discover its is function over form and has been done this way to give the greatest sound possible, you will have to wait until the reveal to see what I mean.". It sounds like he is targetting a first model in Q1 so not far away.
It all sounds promising, though I am a little worried about the "function over form" comment, will these actually be comfortable to wear for extended seated sessions? My imagination isn't great for what Bob is working on
