Description
Dear Reality Plugin Suite is Sennheiser's official archive bundle for the former Dear Reality spatial-audio plugin line. It collects dearVR PRO 2, EXOVERB, EXOVERB MICRO, dearVR AMBI MICRO, dearVR MICRO, dearVR MIX, dearVR MIX-SE, dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT, MIYA, dearVR MUSIC, and dearVR UNITY under one newsletter-gated download flow.
The suite is strongest for immersive placement, binaural monitoring, virtual mix-room work, and spatial reverbs rather than everyday channel-strip processing. dearVR PRO 2 handles stereo, multichannel, binaural, and Ambisonics spatialization, while EXOVERB and EXOVERB MICRO cover room, hall, plate, ambience, and more precise stereo depth work.
The practical caveat is support status. Sennheiser's page now hosts the Dear Reality information and installer request flow, but the original Dear Reality website and customer accounts have been retired, and the former Dear Reality plugins are not expected to receive ongoing updates.
For producers who work in headphones, post-production, VR, 360 video, or Dolby Atmos-adjacent sessions, the bundle is still unusually deep. It gives you panners, room simulation, headphone monitoring, Ambisonics utilities, a VR spatial controller, and the MIYA resynthesis effect in a single package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Dear Reality plugins are included?
Sennheiser lists dearVR PRO 2, EXOVERB, EXOVERB MICRO, dearVR AMBI MICRO, dearVR MICRO, dearVR MIX, dearVR MIX-SE, dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT, MIYA, dearVR MUSIC, and dearVR UNITY. The exact installer access is handled through Sennheiser's Dear Reality form.
Why does the download go through Sennheiser?
Dear Reality has been folded into the Sennheiser Group and the old Dear Reality website and customer accounts have been retired. Sennheiser now hosts the official Dear Reality information page and sends installer links after email confirmation.
Are these plugins still supported?
The BPB source article reported that the former Dear Reality plugins would not be supported or updated after July 31, 2025. That makes the bundle useful for access to the tools, but it should be treated as a legacy suite rather than an actively developed product line.
Is this mainly a reverb bundle or a spatial-audio bundle?
It is broader than a reverb bundle. EXOVERB and EXOVERB MICRO cover reverb, but the larger value is in dearVR spatializers, virtual monitoring, Ambisonics tools, VR workflow utilities, and MIYA's resynthesis processing.
