IBasso Audio IT03

[Richsvt]

Is Penon the only ones who sell this currently? Are there any other distributors? No direct sale from Ibasso?

I also asked this specific question (in a pm) just before I ordered it at Penon. Paul answered:
''Because we make these by hand and check each one, we have not been able to keep up with demand. If I didn't have a pair even I couldn't walk out on the floor and get one. We are filling orders before we sell them directly.''
 
Don't know if there are any other distributors atm.

I've bought mine on EBay.com

At 25 hours burn in now and the harshness I noticed on some songs is much reduced now. The song that stands out the most is Name of the Game by Badfinger on the Straight Up album that was released by DCC. I found the harshness in the singers voice in this song.

The more I listen to these the more I agree with Audio123 that these are a totl sound. The medium bore tips seem to have fixed any harsh or grain I was getting. These things are very balanced and sound very coherent to me. Extension on both ends is superb, and the wooly bass is disappearing and being replaced with something very mature and rich. Cool beans!

thank you. Like I said before, it is not a hype train.

There are, I could audition and buy them in Singapore at Stereo.com.sg
They're currently not listed on their website though...

They have powerful bass indeed, which is quite typical of hybrid configurations (not all of them but most).
Now it isn't bleeding into the mids strongly so the signature is still quite detailed and clear up there.

For sure, the bass is nothing like a flat BA-based signature.

I'd be curious to know what you were expecting, if you wish to elaborate a bit.

I've used several hybrids in the past, and they have varying sound signatures, so I don't think it's really fair to lump hybrids together. I did expect powerful bass but right now it feels intrusive. And again, I clearly tempered my statement with the fact that these aren't fully burned in yet. I'm also telling everyone I give a listen to that these have only reached 50% of the recommended burn in time, so they're fully informed. And finally, I'll reserve final judgement until these have reached at least 150 hours.

And I do want to give a big shout out to Paul - iBasso for sending me a pair to bring to CanJam RMAF. I think we both wish there was time to burn them in fully before I arrived, but at least interested people will be able to grab me abs get a listen!

Can anyone comment on how these sound, signature wise, compared to the FitEar TG334?

334 is sweet and smooth as compared to the well extended and crisp sound of the it03

I'll give you a listen IT03 + Jomo 6R when I get back from RMAF shotgunshane.

I placed my order from shenzhenaudio, it's on its way now. Can't wait to get hold on it.

Hmmm, Penon shipped my IT03 on the 29th with Hongkong post. I received a tracking number and yesterday the status said the package had reached my country.
 
This afternoon I saw the courier drive by (he passed my house), but because the package didn't show up on their website so far I wasn't really surprised.
However: I just noticed that the status on Hongkong post now has changed into: The item (RE.........HK) was tendered for delivery on 8-Oct-2016 without success because the addressee was not available at the time of delivery. Addressee was advised to pick up the item.
 
The bold part is absolutely not the case, so now I'm worried!

For you who have fidelio X2, how's bass on IT03 compared to X2?
I love bass on X2, it's just right amount for me.

Was it dhl? I hear lots of horror stories online. Luckily I live in apartment so they always leave it at the office.
