SUPER CONGRATULATIONS!!!

These are continuing to grow on me, and I'm thinking I'll put out a review for them soon.

In the meantime, I just saw iBasso has a new balanced portable amp out, the PB3. Might be a good compliment to the IT03. I don't have one yet, but I created a thread for it. If anyone is interested, it's over here: LINK

And even if you are into a warmer and fuller presentation like the Sennheiser's, there are nowadays really better alternatives to the IE 80 around the same price bracket.

Wow, I really appreciate this. Thank you. I am pretty much set to order the it03 at this point, but just out of curiosity what are the alternatives to the ie80 you mention (other than the it03)?

IE 80 alternatives if you were to go into a warmer and/or fuller and/or bassier tone: LEAR LHF-AE1d & NS-U1, DUNU DN-2002 (less bass than the Sennheiser but still on the warmer side), ORIVETI BASIC, RHA T20, AAW Nebula 1 & 2

  I have been using the iBasso IT03s for some time already, and still cannot find eartips that provide a perfect seal. Any recommendation for any other eartips? I have tried SpinFit, and they do not fit me, as I feel like they are extending the earpiece out of my ear. For now I am using the eartips that I used on the Xiaomi In Ear Pros and they provide very decent comfort for the first 2 hours of listening, then I have to take them down cause my ears feel hot. May be due to the shape of the IT03s again, but hopefully a change in earbuds will alleviate the problem somewhat.

i found the right seal for my ears by using the cheap KZ starline eartips, pushed all down (the grill of the nozzle is near the surface by about 1-2mm).

Rocking guest right now with my Sony nw-wm1z... Really great synergy. Sound is unreal.

Stop making me jelly about the serious TOTL DAP, bro!

Lol. You aren't exactly slumming it with your LPG sir!!!

I feel like it now that you've got WM1Z, bro

 

[warrior1975]

Lol. I'm sorry, but I don't feel bad for you. LPG is a great dap.

Ironically, reason I didn't buy it, can't search for a song manually... Which I can't seem to do with the Z either... Go figure.

Say wha?!? Sony DAP can't search for a song?

 

[warrior1975]

I can't find the search feature to type a name in and search, which us absolutely horrific for me. I'm hoping I'm just a fool and can't find it. I asked in the Sony thread, but no response yet.

Well done for a well worthy product!

+1
 
But shouldn't it have been an award over 2016?
As 2017 is still ahead of us

I'm not sure how that works, they're a pretty crazy bunch over in China.
