I decided to upgrade my cable and purchased an Ortofon ec8s silver MMCX cable. Once I get it, I'll report back on the sound differences ...

Im probably gonna purchase the jvc fw01 and compare it to the akg k3003, ath ckr10 & ckw1000ANV. No point in throwing the ie800 into the test due to the k3003 beating it.

FW01 is definitely not K3003 league.

That bad ? lol
K3003 is very technically superior compared to FW01.
FW01 still sounds fun but veiled compared to K3003.

If you can still find Ck100pro, go for that instead!

BUT Its just your opinion
People have difference preferences

Imo, FW01 is fun to listen to but definitely cannot be compared to K3003, FI-BA-SS, Ck100pro, Fitear Tg334 etc.
With a good source, side by side FW01 cannot beat those I mentioned above at all.

I use my FW01 with Tralucent Uber cable and They beated the K10 with Effect audio Mars, when I compared them side by side (not only one time but 2 times and I would say I spent 2 hours both time)
Both Tralucent Uber cable and Effect Audio Mars MSRP are around 1000$ (more or less ). But I dont say the FW01 is superior to the K10,but it is just because I like it more,
About my source :my source is the Questyle QP1R, which is to someone better than AK380,mojo or HM901 , If you read the thread about QP1R , you will see how people think about my source. It is subjective though, but I think it's not a bad dap at all.
About the Fitear Tg334, I used to spent time with them + Brimar supreme Monarch compared to the Akt8ie+ ak crystal cable PEF22 and I prefer the Akt8ie combination to the 334 combination and Actually I even prefer the FW01 to the Akt8ie mkII,which I already sold.
From my experience , people are really different. I've myself found the K3003 bright and overpriced compared to something like Dita the truth, but I think someone may prefer K3003 to many other iems.
Today I compared the FW01 with the K3003 (see the picture), because of your comment and because I want to confirm my old feeling about the K3003 (overly bright and can only use to listen to few music genres). The result was the same. I still dont like them like before.
To each his own mate,I respect your opinion, you have you own preference, and the system , you use, just differs from mine. This is just my opinion and just my personal preference, nothing more.

I can understand your preference, FW01 is warm and bassy whereas my preference is bright and detailed like FI-BA-SS and Ck100pro.
