Excellent across many parameters
Everything about this product reflected well on the manufacturer and the actual listening experience. I own several different Sennheiser products because I have always liked their design and execution, both functionally and aurally. These are the first IEMs I have purchased and I drive them with a Yulong DA9 (balanced), MacPro Tower, and lossless files. I have eclectic tastes in music so I have listened to everything from Barber to Fripp to Stravinsky to Shorter to Hoey to you get the picture.
The build quality and included accessories are exemplary. The filters make a difference. Flatter is better where you would expect it as is phatter where you expect it. They drive decently from an iPhone, especially with a kludged portable Groove setup with lossless files. But they shine using the balanced cable with the DA9.
The cables suit me fine with with the exception of the fact that they are one meter too short.
The sound stage is not massive; you sense that the music is happening around your head as opposed to around your person. Tuned to the source, reproduction is faithful but not pristine. They are not going to replace my 800S headphones. They are going to steal about 50% of the time I might spend listening to my 660S headphones, though. They are comfortable and sound very good and have the benefit of providing a way to shape the sound to Level 42 as well as Joe Pass.

TzamazI am positive IMR (previously TRINITY Audio) are the same people who scammed people out of over $100,000 on Kickstarter with their 'Phantom Air" iem. I hope this is NOT the case DROP.

chame1i0nWell, since I have them and they work as advertised and they look and sound quite good, I am not sure the scam thing makes sense. I have no clue about IMR and kickstarters. Nor do I have a dog in that hunt so it is what it is, whatever that is, is.
As for not doing business with people who are part of/lead failed enterprises, I am fine with people deciding that question for themselves. It might be mentioned that baseball and free enterprise have this in common; 33% is a winner.

chame1i0nNot a scam.
You are warned on kickstarters that it is not a store and they cannot promise your rewards.
Stop blaming others for your mistakes.

TerozzzTerozz Actually drop is growing at a ridiculous rate LOL (No one is going anywhere)
just because you are angry over your mistakes does not mean denying the reality that drop is one of the fastest growing sellers for tech items and audiophile equipment isnt going to help you much.

WhateverzCorrection: Trinity and IMR are some of the same people. Completely different companies and these iems are not a Kickstarter product they are produced and ready for delivery. Go pour through all of the IMR Threads on headfi: R1, R1 Zenith, R2 Aten - The praise for Bob, his honor, his customer service is irrefutable just by the voices who've been willing to speak and share their experience. It's a shame, a trajedy, and a severe injustice what happened at Trinity but to paint one guy with misdoings of an entirely different company is also unjust. I know the expression: guilt by association and I also know that it speaks to unfairness. I also know what Jesus said when the mob wanted to stone the guilty adultress: those of you have committed no wrong doing shall throw the first stone.... They all dropped their stones and walked away. I know I've got circumstances from my past that in no way reflect who I actually am and am grateful they don't follow me around Bob has proven his design, sonic, and manufacturing abilities and he's also proven his real character.

holsenI'm sorry to tell you this. You seem to know nothing about the actual connection between Trinity and IMR. Absolutely nothing. It's fine if you want to avoid the facts. But please don't parrot the lies that you've been fed when we who were duped by Bob in more ways than one are still around.
Three years ago I had the same blind trust in Bob you are showcasing right now. Sooner or later you will get a brisk awakening and regret all your praise. A good place to get the correct facts is to read through the Phantom thread at Head-Fi
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/trinity-phantom-series-new-thread-worlds-first-push-pull-hybrid-iem.796729/
But be warned. The thread is currently 1642 pages long. So it will take you a good amount of time to catch up. The first couple of hundred pages are just blind praise from us who were his fanboys at the time. And it's not until halfway through that the thread starts to get really interesting.

Colm4gIf you don't want to read the whole 1642 pages long head-fi thread that I linked to and just want the tip of the ice berg (about the failed Kickstarter), you can watch Hawaii Badboys youtube clip linked above. But it's way worse than what HBB knew when he made his video.

holsenI'm fully aware of just how little you know, because if you know the actual wrongdoings this man is responsible of you would not defend the latest iteration of Bob's misdemeanors. So it's a good thing you wont respond any further. See you in three years when you are not a Bob fanboy anymore.

holsenThe only thing you stated that was correct is two different companies. There is no disputing that. However Bob (of IMR) was attached to Trinity, and according to the filing of the company it (Trinity) was in his wife's name. I'm sure you can put 2 and 2 together on your own.

holsenExcept 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.

anthony.tanakaI 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.
