Glad my order is in. Not sure what I'm expecting from these but will be a good point of reference for comparisons now everyone is going to buy them.

The hype train is going to really roll now.
Yep, I had the same thinking with the blon03's - just got them to see what all the fuss was and because everyone kept referring to them.

Or so we tell ourselves time and time again to justify owning all these sets...

I keep asking myself why I need another well tuned single DD and I just don't have a good answer other than "I want to". "I might need a backup to my backup to my backup lawn mowing set of IEMs" really doesn't seem to be sufficient justification anymore.
We all need more than 1 IEM :p

It's a hobby. We are going to spend our money on IEM's as long as it's a hobby. Especially in these days of Covid 19. Why not have a little joy, a little sweetness? You deserve it. And without you guys I would not have the faintest idea what is good in this hobby. So please don't stop buying and keep letting us all know what's the best to invest in.

I have something on my hand that you might be interested in. Still listening before my verdict. :p

After mod IT00 gains density in vocal range akin to the Penon Orb. As well it cleared up slight haziness I felt in somewhere near the lower Mids.
@audio123 not sure if you mod your earphones, but hoping you or somebody can try this and share their experience.

I keep all my IEMs non-modded so this way I can help to compare stock vs stock. Cheers.

I hate you guys....

:joy:

thats like 100 usd...so damn expensive for us europeans...
You could have got it cheaper at https://www.audiophonics.fr
That's where I found it, asked for a price match from that UK shop, and they matched the numeric value of the EUR price... in GBP. So I got it from Audiophonics anyway since it was cheaper due to currency exchange.

Audiophonics sells them for 75€, with shipping included (Portugal, in my case).

By the time that these finally land in the U.S.:
Fiio will have an FH4
Moondrop will have something for sale (SSR/SSP)
UrbanFun will have sourced the proper driver
My orders from 6 weeks ago might get here
... not holding out too much, on the last one

Just got my AM05's in today. WOW. Pairing them with the DX220MAX that's burned in for 400 hours and it sounds AMAZING!

Moondrop will have something for sale (SSR/SSP) - maybe, but will probably have another supplier issue
UrbanFun will have sourced the proper driver - they will have sourced 3 different ones, who knows which one you will get though
My orders from 6 weeks ago might get here - nah, will still be stuck in customs

Mine should arrive mid next week. Just a note to fellow Canadians... the $69usd doesn’t really work out for us with another $22usd in shipping, the exchange rate and $23cdn in import fees.. ugh!!! Hope these are as good as everyone is saying..

Yep, I went through that painful currency conversion and importation fees, yet I am currently contemplating whether to get another set or not.
