No, not really. Just very slightly warmish.
OK, thanks.
Btw have anyone tried pairing the IM02 with the F880 Walkman, how does it sound?

Am considering getting the IM-02 / 03. Which would be the one with a bigger soundstage and has more clarity/detail? Which do you guys prefer?
For curiosities sake, how well built is the IM70? I believe I read somewhere that the ATH-M50 was built like a tank. So is it built well, could it be referred to as built like a hummvee or something? =P
Also, for the detachable cables, will the IM01-03 series work for the IM70's? Or do they have different connectors?
Edit: Any IEM's that is around the $100 mark of the IM70 with an over ear wire/clip type figuration. Plus how the Im70 sits, or the Shure 215, kind of low profile?
IMHO, IM02 and IM03 have about the same level of detail, clarity, and soundstage size. But IM03 sounds smoother, and more player friendly.
IM02 when paired right, sounds way beyond it's price tag. More value for the money.

What other sites, besides Amazon and Accessory Jack is good for getting these?
Was considering Accessory Jack due to the warranty.
Found some on Ebay, not sure if they are legit or not.
IM03 is way to go for You. If You dont mind size, then Sony XBA-H3 is also exellent buy.
Don't remember if I asked you this before, but what do you think about the bass quantity of IM02 vs IM03? I can imagine that warmer signature of IM03 with less brightens can make even the same amount of bass quantity in both appear as more bass in IM03. Do you recall by memory how did they compare in terms of bass?
I've compared the IM02 and IM03 very briefly, the 03 in my opinion is less clear to the level where the clarity became lacking.
They really sound different, imho. The IM03 has more sparkle, and is more neutral.
the H3 is darker and has a fuller low end.
The IM03 goes deep and punches well, without loosing any of the detail from the high end.
The H3 has detail but not to the same level.
The H3 has more of a fun signature, that works really well with neutral or bright daps, the IM03 works better with daps that are a bit darker.
The IM03 responds really well to amping, have not noticed that with the H3.
For my ears, the physical fit on the IM03 was much easier than the rather clunky H3. Really had a difficult time finding tips that worked for me with the XBA-H3's.
I like both, but they are different.
What is good to pair with the IM02 then?
