Ive been comparing these a bit today with the Onkyo DP-X1. The Onkyo and it03 have great synergy.

I have the same setup Using Effect Audio's Aries II + cable terminated in balanced hehe. Love the pairing!

be careful folks, I bought mine on 12/1, took almost 2 weeks to arrive (ie I have only been using then for just over a month)-always carried in a case, literally pull it out of my ear while talking with a coworker, conversation is over, walk back to my desk and notice that the grille popped off somehow. It looks to be glued down (see pics) , so I have literally no idea where it went. I looked like a fool looking at the carpet, walking around my office looking for a circular grille, :lol:.

I pm'd the ibasso rep, and penon....I sure hope I can just get another one mailed out to me. Talk about bummer deal, I LOVE these iems

Oh man, i had the same issue previously (dropped one of the grilles), found it, glued it back and all is well. Hope u find it!

I think there was a user here who removed the metal mesh, not sure if it is recommended / changes sound signature though

I have sent you a PM. Not to worry we will send out a couple of grills for you.

Got the PM, and I do appreciate it. Thank you

if i were you I would take the second one off as well until you get back the lost one and test things, and test the sound siganture as someone claimed without the grills the mids are better

I personally would return it, If it falls out once, it may fall out again.

A tiny bit of glue on the edge of the screen holds them in. Once our replacement is received and put in place I am sure it will stay in place.

newtophones07, just don't use any kind of "super glue" (cyanoacrylate), or acetone, or dichloroethane or any other plastic solvent. I used small drops of a polyurethane glue, with immediate put  the grill to the place, then dry (in contrary to the instruction: dry, then press and hold).
 
And, to prevent questions, no, I didn't lose mine: I've removed them myself out of curiosity

Thanks for those instructions, I actually ordered some super glue in anticipation lol. Guess I will purchase some polyurethane glue. I will put my set away, until the screens arrive.

And fyi, because I purchased from Penon, their return policy states that if the item is opened they charge a rather huge restocking fee, plus the buyer pays return shipping---even when broken.

So I'll just be patient and hope the screens arrive

I would recommend picking up some toothpicks as well to apply the glue.
 
Apply a few small dots on the outer edge of the grill. Don't want any on the sound exits.

Ive been using IT03 for almost 24 hrs now, comparing it to Fidue A83, A83 is brighter, more detailed however at first listen IT03 is smoother, bass is more prominent and the mids is more forward i guess and has more weight compared to A83s. 
 
I don't regret buying IT03, I love the sound signature and the fit is great.

i remove the grille on both sides to achieve a more balanced sound.

Wait till you pass 100 hours.  Bangis yan!  ^_^

Hows does it affect the sound? I would've expected the treble to have less control without the grills. More sibilance and harshness?
