Different kinds for different minds.Different strokes for different folks. At 99 it's a very very good IEM IMO.
After a wee while with the it01 I must admit it's not what i was expecting going by the reviews. I'd heard quite a few of the more experienced users say they were bright, with great resolution and layering and i don't hear them like that... even with multiple sources. I enjoy them for the low end as with a good tip and deep insertion it's pretty spectacular at times. I do hear bass notes I'm not used to hearing even with higher end gear and headphones. They have a nice unique soundstage which I enjoy too.
I do think they are too smooth though and it effects the mids which can be a little hit and miss in regards to detail. Treble is too rolled off. Don't get me wrong they are still detailed enough at this price point. Layering is good but not as good as I'd hoped.
I enjoy listening to them as they're laid back and have a fun sound but they're no giant killer.
Some reviewers have compared them with the DUNU dn2000 and LZA4 but they're not in that league IMO. I'm still preferring the Brainwavz B400 and i may try the TFZ King Pro or SIMGOT EN700 Pro next for something a bit brighter and clearer without sacrificing the great sub bass of the it01.
Just placed my order with Penon Audio. Probably receive them early next week. Not really sure how long shipping will take from Hong Kong to Shanghai.

1) what tips did You use? Wide bore and deep fit is highly recommended.
2) What source You used and did You amp them?
Assuming SF Express does what the website says, I will have them tomorrow, woo!Took me like five days to get to Canada.
It’s a great website for more refined ChiFi offerings.

First "big" headphone purchase, let's see how this goes. I think I want to pair it with an EarStudio ES100, but it seems like there's a slim chance of getting one here in China. So I will have to wait until June to order one when I go back to the US for a few weeks.
