Were those supposed to be links? Cuz clicking on them didn't do anything. The IT01 does look interesting, but if I'm grabbing another iBasso IEM I'm waiting for the 4...

Fixed the links. Didn't seem to work first, maybe because I was using mobile that time.

Cool cool. Might snag one of those then! Thanks for the heads up.

Yes I think they are, but a lot depends on how you hear things, best to try both if you can. - Answer provided by Google Translate TM

I'm actually starting to get a little angry at these things because I'm at a point where I just won't stop listening to albums. It can't be good for my ears to have plugs in all day.

As long as you keep the volume low you will be OK, just keep enjoying the music.

Honest Q: It isn't a problem to have IEMs in for extended periods? Like, don't your ears need to "breathe"?

If you mean by breath, to air out, do dry, sure it doesn't hurt but also the "wax" as it is called in the ears, is an antibacterial. I think that just like everything else, good hygiene will alleviate most any problem. I think that playing music at too high a volume would be more of a concern. I have seen fungal growths in the ear canal, it is normally black, but that is when other infections have caused a problem.

Honestly I can't wait for the IT03 to be back from RMA! It's like the best thing I can ever ask for this Christmas. And Im glad Paul is like Santa for helping out with this RMA!

Anyway I tried IT01 last week and felt it's a lovely IEM to have. I'm pretty sure the cable and IEM pairing was meticulously picked because this evening little gems so picky when i tried to pair with cables!

If you can stretch your budget a bit more, go buy the IT01. You'll get a nice cable which you can use for the IT03. Plus, the IT01 is having rave reviews and impressions on its thread.

For cables only, I'm using this SPC cable but has no memory wire.

Or check this one out with memory wire.

Brilliant idea!

Futzing around with tips again. Trying out the wide-bore blacks that have like zero "nozzle" to them at all. Not sure what I think yet. You'd imagine the lack of extra funneling would make the sound clearer but it's almost like the opposite.

I do the same from time to time too.

At the moment I've settled on Comply TSX-500 tips. They pair very well with the sound signature of the IT03 IMO. A bit more Bass at the expense of some loss in the upper frequencies. I find because of the deeper insertion of the IT03 and the slightly larger size of the Comply tips the small size work best, very comfortable for long listening sessions.

Audio bliss.

friends finally encourage me to ask after reading so much, I wanted to make a last query respond well to the equalization

Are you asking if the IT03 responds well to equalization? I am not a fan of using EQ on my DAPs, but I can say that the IT03 sound is quite sensitive with tips selection. Frequencies might change depending on the fit or on the size of the bores of your tips. Better be aware of these things before fiddling on the EQ.

Has anyone here bought the it01 and thought they preferred it over the it03?
