Good point...makes me wonder if they also do little 25cl miniature bottles like they do for the 1 shot whisky ones?Snap and I mean why would anyone when they have a giant lube bottle to hand….

Not yet. We tend to all get the email at the same time so sit tight, you're an hour ahead of me and will probably have it before I do!did anyone get an email from bob as was previously discussed?
Are we expecting another email further to the one we received on friday saying we have a delay to Oct/Nov?
OK @NellieG you win. The Red IMR on your Bluetooth setup looks way cooler.
A bad design with the UTWS3 is that the pins are made for IEMs that have no recess for the pin connection. The pin insertion to the Elan and for the other IMRs is quite shallow. It makes the pins easy to come loose.
The overall sound from the Elan/UTWS3 is a flatter response than with my wired connection.
There is loss of richness in the sound and bass range. It is not an unpleasant sound, but there isn't much layering and 3d effect that I have been enjoying when wired to the iBasso DX300. The Elan/UTWS3 should still be good for laid back, acoustic music.
Sounds like the Sednas are giving you the perfect fit. I have tried the Xelastecs and the Crystals, but I can't get a comfortably deep insertion. I am using M size. I'm currently using some silicon tips which came with I think from the BGVP DM6 which fit and seal very nicely on the Elan.... Astra and the Bone Conduction coming through the Xelastecs - man, that's a whole nutha' level. I'd be intereted to know how it comes across with your reds, ozarks, elans, BCs
I have the Semper and my experience has been nothing like yours. Out of the box it was surprisingly dull and lifeless, which I did not expect after the lively and fun Aten. This has fortunately improved with burn-in. But I do notice that when transitioning to the Semper from another unit, I need a little time for brain burn-in to kick in so it "sounds good again". There's never been any sibilance in my unit. But with that said, in my case the Semper is quite picky with regard to the genres it works well with, and not all nozzle/filter configurations work well for all genres.I got the Semper, the PB1 and halcyon and I was quite dissapointed with the semper. It had quite a lot of sibilance and I found them far less pleasant than all the other IMR's. I was hoping it would be fixed with burn in or different tips but I can now say this isnt the case. I find them harsh and less immersive than the PB1 and halcyon (choose great mids or highs not both).

If have not already done so, you may want to try different sources. Synergy is a huge factor in many people dismissing good earphones, which they could enjoy.Wow these threads are hard to keep up with!

I was hoping it would be fixed with burn in or different tips but I can now say this isnt the case. I find them harsh and less immersive than the PB1 and halcyon (choose great mids or highs not both). Due to this I have lost a bit of faith in the new IMR's.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Are the newer models even more immersive and detailed?
Other than the sibilance issues, these are the areas I would want to upgrade in.
EDIT: I have also had two failures on IMR products (halcyon (might contact bob about) and RAH replaced with Pb1 by Bob)
