strong bass slam
Not really with the IT03, The only IEM I own that may fit the bill is the IT01s, maybe. Try and listen to it if you can.

Then you should look at the Fearless S6 Rui. Check out @Hawaiibadboy YouTube channel. He gives a great review of this fantastic IEM. Similar price point, but i can't whole heartily recommend the IT03 as I had terrible quality issues with my set... YMMVHey guys,
DT 1770 is my go to. Looking for an iem equivalent. Everything I've tried sounds tinny and shallow. Just returned UE900s, for example. Someone suggested the T04, but those are a bit pricey @$500. Would the T03 fit the bill? Never been an iem guy and don't want to compromise quality, but want something more gym friendly and more portable.
Wants: high detail, strong bass slam, full sound, wide soundstage. This is why I love Beyer. The Amiron Home are my other pair.
Thanks

The it03w should be what we desire
Looks good for the money, but does it really have "strong bass slam"? Bass is handled by "1 Sonion Dual Bass BA Driver" which I've never heard, if it does that would be a great achievement.
I have no idea what that is, can I have a clue?
I trust the opinions of others who are far more experienced than myself, which is why i bit the bullet and bought the BGVP DM6's. I predominantly listen to EDM, hip hop, etc and the DM6's were bought to compliment my FH5's (which themselves sounded as good as the IT03'S). I assumed the full BA set up of the BGVP's wouldn't produce as much bass as the FH5's but would be more suitable for vocal and acoustic style music (I have an eclectic taste!). But boy was I wrong! The DM6's have incredible bass response, and I haven't picked up my FiiO's in months. So if @Hawaiibadboy says the s6 are better still, I've got no reason not to try for myself at some point ..
Really it comes down to to this: can I get sound as good as my DT 1770 with a $500 or less Iem? That's ultimately what I care about. Like I said, tried the UE900s that have strong reviews and everyone saying how good the bass is, and I found them to have abysmal isolation and pretty weak bass. I could EQ more on power amp than the ZX 300 would allow, but even the mids just sounded hollow and sharp by comparison. They lacked the fullness and depth of sound that I am used to. I don't know if this is because I need to try better iem's, or if it is just how iem's sound compared to over ear, especially a good overear like the 1770 or Amiron Home. Those are both $600 headphones, so does $600 iem mean equal in quality? Is it up? Down? IDK. I though the Ibasso might be good because of the hybrid design, and I would love to try all of them, plus the S6, but they just aren't around anywhere in person to try. Best buy and Target are the places one can try headphones and that's about it.
Just to give a sense of what iem's I have liked (and maybe I mentioned this), but the Bose Sound Sport Free are the only I have heard that I actually enjoyed listening to, and they had great bass response, but they were open. I need closed. Anyone heard those compared to the IT03? I would thikn the latter would be far more refined, given that they are wired vs wireless, but this is new territory for me.
I went through all of that with the UE 900s. Tried 6 different tips, and I landed on owns I felt fit and sounded better, but the sound was never good enough when doing an A/B.
