iBasso IT00 and AM05 Two very different IEMs with one purpose, to Enjoy the Music!

Just noticed that as @SciOC predicted, the ship date has moved up, on Amazon. But for anyone who has already done the pre-order, you might want to check, to see if your delivery date has moved up as well.

Kinda funny how they have the delivery dates for prime members before the in stock date.. Lol... Think I'll wait till they actually get in stock before ordering....

@audio123 Is the IT00 similar in how compact and dense the build is, compared to the Tanchjim Hana? I really like the build quality on the Hana but....well I dont like the sound as you might know

I guess its plastic vs metal debate haha. I prefer the sound of IT00 to Hana, significantly better without a doubt.

I can compare them and give another perspective when my IT00 arrives in few days. HANA is my current favorite.

It's good to have different perspectives definitely. Just curious, don't you find the Hana shouty?

Yep, I noticed this, my delivery date hasn't changed (August 25). Amazon does some screwy stuff.... During covid I have noticed it is sometimes best to cancel and reorder to get stuff sooner. I'll wait because I honestly expect it to change again....

I guess this pretty much sums up the superiority of IT00 to Hana purely on stock sound despite the IT00 costing 90.99 USD cheaper. The IT00 does not need to be modded to sound good so yea. Cheers.

DHL was supposed to deliver the IT00 next Monday, hmmm lol. Not going to complain.

They look very similar

I have often seen graphs that are similar but the IEMs sound totally different. Graphs measure, in effect, quantities, but qualities....materials, metals, shape of unit, tips, cables, blah, blah etc etc determine the qualities. They are impossible to measure at this moment in time.

I had several se215's over the years and they sound nothing like the it00.

The IT00 is simply superior to the SE215. Period.

Advanced MP3 Players in Scotland have a 15% discount sale at the moment. They are a good company and have the iBasso it00.....and more.
