very interested to hear the other 2 (although i am 100% happy with my K3 and not looking for alternative sound signatures)

 
 
No need to bother yourself lol.
 
Trust me when I say the K3003 is as good as it gets. Unless you want to try another sound signature, take it and run from this addiction. Since I found my own end game, I really haven't been tempted to even browse other IEM threads.

yeah i know the feeling - i started re-reading all the K3 threads cause i get a kick out of seeing other people sharing their joyful experiences with the K3s

I would ask the seller for some personal pictures, the ones they posted are just press release style pictures. Any supporting story of a gift from a boss could easily be made up as well,

i agree that it seems relatively conspicious , so tread lightly here.

Definitely  a scam. No such prices for USPS shipping. The most expensive one in any country in the world would be under $100.

Well fellas, I am finally joining your club. Not at liberty to say which merchant (yet), but I managed to negotiate a purchase of a new sealed K3003 for under $700. This is from a trusted merchant who I've done business with before. I'm excited to hear all it stacks up with my other earphones (especially other hybrids). I'll let you know. Happy listening.

For me k3003 is amoung the top four iem I have purchased. The others are F111, dita truth and ck100pro.

I find all these four iem cover all the genera of music I listen too nicely.

Greatest disappointment for me are the ultrasone IQ and IE800. IE800 is much better than IQ but the sound is very V shape for me.

Awesome Eric.  Such an addicting IEM imaging wise.. bar none, the best that I have ever tried.  I just couldnt get past the treble spike.  It might be different now that I have been using more treble-y hps but also, that mic doesnt play nice.  Always getting stuck on my shirt and doesnt like working with my android phone. Love that you just popped them in and go, unlike some of the IEMs now where you have to twist, push, pull, etc to get it right.

hey you K3003 gang members - do you hear any sonic differences with the K3 when worn behind the ears and (most importantly) does the cable gets more roughed/clinks if worn like this ?
 
thanx for any feedback

If you mean wrapped around the back and then top of the ear, then i would just say that I think you can't even wear them that way without flipping Left and Right to be inccorrect.
