While we wait for the release of the IEMs, is the frequency response plot of the IT04 available, to have an idea?
Ahhh good so the date is set for release on June 1st? lololWe are working on it. It is the plan to have them out before summer but whenever I make a date it bites me. We want the IT04 out as much as everyone wants them. We are trying.
Ya lets stop all manufacturing processes so Ibasso can change the logo on the shells.
It is not a big deal folks. At lest it is not this. Lol I own these and they sound awesome. Glad I bought them. My point is there is a lot worse.

Not trying to be an ass, but I am completely turned off by that In Tune logo. Advertising and marketing in the USA has gotten the best of me over the years, and fonts trigger memories or associations (the advertisers know what they are doing). Unfortunately the font style triggers 80's aerobics. They would look just as at home on a videocassette that said "Jazzersize" or Olivia Newton Johns's "Let's Get Physical" video. The fonts just don't portray "audiophile" or "technical superiority" or "forward thinking" design that well. I would change it for future versions.I really really don't mind the InTune logo, it actually looks kinda cool for what I tend to like.
Little iBasso logo would had worked as well, but this intune logo looks both playful and attractive, without looking too audiophile. I think it is chic and works well with most fashion types, both those of us wearing a suit for business, and those of us being more casual during the day.
The only real question I have is how they'll sound and how they'll feel. I learned that looks are way less important than sound for something you keep in your ears, or on your ears. I take LCD-MX4 on a walk sometimes, and it is not small by any means, can be rather intimidating and does attract some attention, but at the end of the day, I want to listen to the music inside of them, and the way they make me feel is of outmost importance. Same for IT-04, think that most of your friends would probably find them quite sexy in reality.

Not quite as iconic as Fender, I'm afraid. haha Maybe the problem I have with it is not exactly the fonts, but that it seems like a "slogan" or "catchphrase" with the In Tune thing. Like, maybe if it just said "Ibasso" in those fonts, it would be more palatable to me. But then, why not just use their official logo fonts. Oh well, I'm sure there will be tons who love it. One last parting shot to the 80's...Welp, I don't have anything else with quite that vibe, and honestly, I don't mind it.
For me, it rreminds me a lot of a good guitar cabinet, especially of Fender ones, and such.
Equipment doesn't eed to always look like uber technical stuff, like say, Etymotic IEMs really look technical with triple flanges and the fonts used, where ClearTune VS Series looks somewhat similar to the In-Tune idea, a little retro / vintage with a touch of color

I love the 80’s too! I don’t know what I’m griping about. Long live the 80’s!!Coincidentally, I just created a playlist of 80's Hair Rock on my DX200
Am listening to Poison right now; it's just fantastic!
Can't stop grinning
Bring on the 80's retro I say!![]()
