It's pretty good but also pretty vanilla. Easy rec for someone wanting to own one pair as an all arounder who doesn't really have a specific taste truly pinned down.
For a hobbyist, it'll be useful for making comparisons, but knowing my own tastes well enough, I probably won't listen to it all that much beyond using it for comparisons.
I think it'll be great as a standard, much better than the blon in my opinion. The blon just lacks clarity and scalability , which may not be evident from a cell phone, but any decent DAP or DAC puts a microscope on its relativite flaws. The IT00 actually scales nicely and just sounds better and better on high end equipment, rather than being best used from a phone.
Hmmmm... Would love to get a hold of one of those pairs to see how it sounds to me, because it's totally foreign to me when I've seen people describe it that way and I'd really just like to know if it's unit variation, defective sets, unannounced revisions, hearing differences or what exactly. You're in Indonesia though so I probably can't get you're pair too easily.
But I'm very curious about this set in particularly because it is one of my subjective favorites and the way some people describe (and as you've said there are a good number of you guys) is drastically different than some others describe it and usually you don't see such drastically different opinions split almost evenly.
Anyway, still waiting on the BQ6!
