Does this bubbling and cracking only seem to happen on the silver version or also on the dark-blue as well?

Sidenote: I just realized that Amazon US doesn't specify which version/color they are selling to consumers for the IT04....hmm.

I would have thought it would affect both colours. I only mentioned the colour as I thought it may have been a batch issue the kind of thing. Perhaps they make 100 silver and then 100 blue and during the 100 silver run something happened that affected the surface finish. All just guesswork on my part though, obviously.

I've had mine for about a month now, blue one, no bubbles/chipping yet.

I can see a litle something, like a bubble, it is very faintly there, and very faintly visible in some of my photos.

Wonder what's causing the buble appear inside.

I don't see any bubble in my IT04. But I see some cracks in one of the earphones, very weird...

@Paul - iBasso things have gone a bit quiet from your side at the moment, any update on this surface finish issue?

Will you ship my replacement soon for my returned IT04 or are you stopping all shipments at the moment?

Bro is not about look more or listen more..

First thing first, example u purchase a new laptop , bottom of the laptop colour coating peel off after one day. Are you going be happy with it if u wan to go back exchange and the person tell u u use ur laptop or u see ur laptop more??

2nd is the outer surface coating is for protection of the iem, if the coating fall off that easy. Isit mean that the iem body is going be easy damage or scratch ???

The sound has to be the priority but for me the surface finish was worsening, when would this stop? When all the coating had peeled off? Then I felt with all those chips and cracks it would have become a comfort issue, perhaps to a point where I couldn't wear and hear them any more.

Plus this is not a $10 disposable IEM is it.

Ya is not like a hairline scratch that we dun even feel it with our finger(if is hairline damage I dun even bother)..

this surface issue is something that we can feel with our finger and will slowly start to spread out..
Damage won't be stop at this 2 small patches
