Dear Reality dearVR MUSIC

Since Dear Reality started more than 10 years ago and joined the Sennheiser Group in 2019, Immersive Audio has become an essential part of the professional audio industry. To better leverage future potentials, Dear Reality are consolidating all immersive audio initiatives within the Sennheiser Group. As part of this process, Dear Reality will no longer continue as an independent company, and the brand will be phased out by the end of 2025.

But wait, here’s some good news:

Free full versions of Dear Reality plugins will be publicly available on the Sennheiser website from March 25, 2025. Anyone is free to download and use them without restriction upon registration for the AMBEO newsletter. The following products will be free to download to all interested users:

• dearVR PRO 2
• dearVR MIX
• EXOVERB
• EXOVERB MICRO
• MIYA
• dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT

This also means that moving forward all Dear Reality products incl. dearVR MUSIC will no longer be offered on the Plugin Alliance platform. You can still however access legacy installers via your account section if you have purchased the products. If you need assistance with that, feel free to reach out to our support team.

What this means for MEGA subscribers

Active MEGA users that subscribed before March 24, 2025 are automatically granted full licenses to the legacy Dear Reality dearVR MUSIC. To retrieve this license, simply re-activate the product for the new license to appear.
