IMR R1 Zenith IEM

I have been using various IMR IEMs for as long as three years. The stock cables I have received remain supple and sound great. I am making no representation about anything except what I own and use.

Except for the fact that this new company has shady business practices as well. The cable for their IEM's is made out of some kind of material that was literally designed to get hard and crack when exposed to something. What exactly? I have no idea. Weather it's open air, humidity or human oils, i'm on my 2nd cable and it's already hard and will no doubt start to crack, causing the copper wire on the inside to break....same as the first set of cables that came with my IEM's did. I spent almost $200 USD to order 2 new cables from IMR and have them ship it from the UK to the US only for them to release new versions of the cable just months later and putting their old cables up for half the price. I knew of these rumors before ever purchasing my IMR Atens, and because I genuinely have no idea what this Bob guy's involvement was and know for a fact that people come to judge others WAY too quickly, i decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and buy one of their IEM's anyway. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the IEM's themselves, but the cables they came with are a legit scam. They are also proprietary, the cost of them are asinine and the fact that they're literally designed to fail after 6 months of daily use tells me that the company has a serious lack of integrity.

Love this iem. Sound amazing.
