Well I run the Blue on my R1's and have found the green nozzle blue tips to be the best for my taste on my Aten's, been having a small Bob "T-ea" party of late as well:grin:

Take my advice, do NOT show your psychiatrist this photo:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

True story, I turned him onto portable Hi-fi 10 years ago and his collection exceeds mine:smirk:

Hi, any of you guys who own R2 Red would be so kind as to provide his impression?
I have been searching on the Internet but besides @Jon_parker´s comments and a review in Spanish at auricular.org, not much detailed info on them.
This closed version of R2 seems to be a great option for outdoor use.
Thanks in advance
Jose

Way more controlled and balanced than any other imr, the soundstage is intimate but nevertheless is massive, layering is outstanding, bass is prominent and responsive (I thought it would be clogged due to the closed shell) mids are a bit more forward with focus on male vocals, treble is good, but I think it’s not the imr strongest strength, overall those are my main for the road and with the bt20s along with my beloved r1z, overall, they are quite something amazing for the price, truly

Hi i get in touch since I have noticed that my right capsule has a defect, it is heard lower than the left, and I tested it with my cell phone measuring the levels and it marks me more under the same song putting the left and right capsule separately, the right is heard lower than the left and I don't know why, I already removed the cable thinking it was that, try other headphones, some Ibasso IT01 and both capsules are heard at the same volume level and with some $ 8 sony headphones and both capsules are heard at the same volume

I tried a Fiio M11, Cellular and PC, and in all the right capsule it sounds lower than the left.

I already sent a message to Bob but I want to know his opinion, regards

My right piece stopped working and i switched out cables and had the same problem. Not the same situation as you, but Bob sent me a replacement piece.

I posted one in-depth full written review, about IMR R2 Aten from UK! I think having 30 signatures from one product is quite amazing, and if you like the idea of a highly customisable IEM, this may be interesting to you!

This review is coming to Head-Fi as soon as I finish uploading it! :)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I've read on the earbuds forum this morning the terrible news that hungry panda has passed away from covid 19 virus complications. RIP
