How are these compared to HEM8? I want something for EDM and modern music.
I like both IEM, but I'm going to give the nod to IT03 for your use case. The IT03's dynamic driver bass punch combined with BA sparkle up top really provides an enjoyable listen with electronic music. HEM8 is a much smoother listen with abundant mids, so I don't think it's what you're after.
The other thing to consider is ergonomics. From responses on this thread, IT03 fit can be a bit hit or miss. The shells are a bit on the large side, and the shape has caused discomfort for some. They're perfectly fine for me, so I'm not complaining. I just wanted to point that out. The HEM IEM have small shells and are very comfortable. I haven't heard of anyone having issues with that more "Westone" type of shell.
And of I were looking at the HEM lineup for electronic music, I'd be looking at HEM2...
