IMR - R1 Thread

[cr3ativ3]

Filter choices will affect the bass more than anything.

yeah sure , i use the black one , its the best for my taste

 

[HungryPanda]

The black filter is my favourite too

I agree, with the R1 I chose the pink, with the Zenith I use the Black

Seems there is a sale on with the Zenith's currently - the shop shows the default prices but when you add a product to your basket, the price drops.

New Zenith's down to £375 GBP and used B-stock down to £187.50. That's a pretty good discount, though may vary depending on stock availability.

Yep. I had one in my cart this morning. But even with the extra discount they just don't seem that much of a jump from the R1 for me to pull the trigger so I bailed on it.

I agree with you. That’s why I ordered an R2 this morning

Nice! I can't wait to read the reviews. Please post up after some time with them.

Is there a little bit more bass when closed ? Or is it just my imagination

From my listening experience opening it will give you a slightly larger sound-stage, while closing it gives you a bit more subbass. But i agree, Filters make a much bigger difference, so i like the decision of having the R2 designed completely open with more filter choices.

i mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I had the same concerns honestly. I still bit the bullet and am actually glad that i did.. the R1Z I find to be a more different sound signature than the R1. The R1 is quite a bit more laid back to me, where the R1Z is more forward.. and that's with the same color tips on each.

I find I go between the two at different times.. they are different enough in their performance that I don't regret purchasing the Zenith at all.

Ooooo .. Bob just posted this on FB! Apparently this is the R1 Classic (budget option)

On the Instagram he called them "more budget IEM that uses the original R1 architecture".

I'm interested a portless IMR product. The one complaint I have with the R1 is wind noise when outside. I don't routinely use mine outdoors but when I am using them on office days I'll keep them in for the walk to my parking lot at the end of the day. It is a bit of a wind tunnel in places but even with the port closed I hear the wind rushing through the port. Makes me wonder if it's not truly sealed when closed. Anyone else experience this?

How did you get a loyalty code? I ordered the R2, but haven't gotten a code.

If I'm not wrong, he sent it to the people who bought the original R1 and Zenit
