I'm debating getting these. The good reviews and good price have got me curious. This would be my first purchase off aliexpress though and I get the sense from this thread there is a fair bit of variation in wait time. Does anyone have experience using the DHL option? Is it true to its stated...

This is more of a curiousity of mine, because it won't directly impact my life or wallet, but I've always wondered where the line is on this subject. I'm a fan of blind testing, so I readily accept that a $700 amp is inaudibly different from a $20,000 amp, but I don't think this trend over...

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look at both the meze and beyerdynamic (as well as the focal). The audio world continues to surprise me, Beyerdynamic must advertise the 250 WAY less than the 770/880/990, as your post was the first I had heard of them. Im in the country, so there's a lack...

Thus far in the world of hifi I've only experimented with earphones, and I want to make the leap to headphones. I've been reading a lot of the Sound Science Subforum and i'm going to try to get a "neutral is best" mindset. Sounds like from the impressions these are modestly more neutral than the...

After seeing JKDJedi's and stryed's suggestions, I tried various configurations. The volume difference persisted across different tips, different cables, and different sources. Is there any software I can download to manually adjust the volumes of each side?

Hi all, after some reassurances that the IT01 would partner well with portable dac/amps I went ahead and got a pair via Amazon. Unfortunately the right one is noticeably louder than the left one. This is my first over-ear IEM though. Is there a method to test whether it is equipment or operator...

I've been reading quite a bit of this thread, and it seems the IT01s are a bit more source dependent than some other IEMs at this price point. Anybody have an idea how much mileage I would get out of the DragonFly DACs, or any other usb-powered dac/amp? I've noticed a lot of the reviews use DAPs...

Edited my original post, thanks for the advice!

Hi all, I hope you don't hate recommendation requests too much, and well if you do, I've learned for next time! I want to get a $50-150 IEM that is not over-ear. While I have a fair bit of confidence, I don't have quite enough to be the only one on my college campus wearing earphones that style...
