EDIT: Scrap that, messed with the memory wires and wow, it really is like a CIEM.

Also, my lord these are good with hip hop.

If anyone's looking for a cable with a mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0751831TV/

Leads to an insanely sleek look.

Are you talking about IEMs or your cool earrings?

LMAO I actually had to size those down. I had them at an inch (3/4" now) and the bigger lobes didn't fit inside my big cans.

These days I just take the plugs out when I'm listening on the big rig, so I might size up again.

Discovery:

The KZ Starline tips work REALLY well.

Your inner ear canals must be a bit wide. Those tips won't fit mine. Shallow insertion would be fine but with the IT03's deeper insertion, small tips fit the best for me.

I have fairly big canals, it's true. I got custom molds done some time a go and the audiologist even mentioned it. The Starlines go alllllll the way in for me so the IT03 housing is flush with my ear and it's absolutely perfect.

I have two sets of those unused as it is not worked for me, spiral dots in ML size is the best for me.

So the IT03 shells have been copied already. But with 2 pin ports and 2DD + 2BA drivers configuration.

I do wonder how they sound. That 11/6mm dynamic arrangement is kinda interesting.

Plus the additional DD. Yes, interesting. I wonder how they will compare to the real thing.

That "The mother city" part though. Haha!

LMAO that's gotta be a translation issue. Like they meant "female connector" or something? I gotta admit, I wanna start calling things THE MOTHER CITY now.

Imagine if you own this and the ports started to uave problems. You will contact support like, "Please help me. My unit's mother city seems to be broken."

I do wonder why brands like KZ and TRN rip from other manufacturers (Campfire and iBasso, respectively). Headphones are kind of a niche market, it's not like you'll be walking down the street fooling people into thinking you're wearing Andromedas. Is it just that they like the design, or are the molds readily available, or...?

Some of those brands actually have potential to sound great. They just choose to copy other known companies' designs. Well, they got people to get curious. Still, if they can develop something good with their original design, then that can catapult them as one of the big brands. But I don't see that happening soon. They seem to care about selling in quantities and not much about aesthetic and quality.
