The only part of the driver that will change with burn in is the suspension. The membrane is purposely constructed of materials to make it as stiff as possible so it behaves as a piston and flexes as little as possible. Ideally we never want the membrane to flex as that will reduce the accuracy of the reproduced signal.

This is what I meant, suspension not membrane, English is not my mother language.

Maximize sound stage by this ear tip.
Its not a rule but the bigger sound bore, the bigger stage.

It01s has to laid back mid that I need it more forward so music left behind.
By this kind of tip, got both what I want.
Stage is as big as a full size can.
Bonus improved of fit - this may happen to personal ear

Hi all, for anyone interested, I have just posted my long-delayed review of the IT01s.
You can tell how delayed it's been, in that the photos have a Christmas theme
I've been going through a very rough time for a long time, but hopefully brighter days are ahead now

Thanks to @Paul - iBasso and the team for yet another excellent product offering great value

Wait a minute, let me grab my IT01s to see if I concur.

@Layman1
Sorry to hear about the tough times...hope you get things worked out.

I am almost happy with my IT01 iem's.
My problem is with the ear tips that came with them.
I had to use the smaller ones and i can only get a good seal if i sit still..

Have any of you tried custom earmolds with your IT01 iem's?

Not with my IT01s no, but I did with another IEM and didn't have much luck.

Do larger tips not give you a better fit and seal?

The larger tips fall out of my ear or do not seal at all.
IEM's can be a hassle...
I am tempted to put them in a box and go full size again.

Is that a general thing for you or just with these?

Yes it could be that IEM's are just not for you, if you can though try something with a 2mm nozzle, Shure, Westone and a few others they may fit better.

Also try some good quality foam tips with the IT01s, Comply for example they may work better.

I actually had to put a keyboard spacing ring on each earpiece then put a tip on to get a good fit

Getting a good fit and seal was not easy for me as well when I started with IEMs.
I do not have the IT01s, but I had the Moondrop Kanas Pro and got custom silicone tips for them.
Fit and comfort was good to very good, depending a little on the day, seal was excellent, but they did have an influence on sound as well, in my case reducing treble a little.
I have smaller ears as well and a narrow ear canal, so as long as I tried to cram IEMs into my canal I did not get good fit, comfort and seal.
What works best for me now is to use tips that sit and seal in my concha, the area before the ear canal. Best tip for me is the Spiral Dots, but depending on IEM type as well. They are less conical, more ball shaped and soft. Very comfortable for me.

Cheers and good luck!

Thanks!
I will look into the spiral dots and the other alternatives!!

Hi @Netrum,

Definitely don't give up on IEMs just yet till you've tried as many different ear tips as possible, (yes, I realise it is time consuming & detract from the listening time & experience but is well worth it).
Also, one thing to note I often recommend to others is also consider different size tips for either ear as more often than not, a different size tip in one ear canal opposed to the other (eg, Medium & Large ) can fix fit issues, this also works for different silicone as well as mix & match foam & silicone, etc

Crystalline Audio make decent tips as do Periodic Audio Hydrogen tips in both foam & silicone.
I have also had good experience with Spinfits too though personally & subjectively, comfort wise, much prefer foams.

As a final note, most IEM manufacturers &/or tip manufacturers will usually have a listing of what size tips fit what IEM as well.

Hope this all makes sense.

Hope you have a great day !

between it01s and b400, I have read some impressions on both in here.
Both seem have different sound signature. However which one give more wow factor?
I rhint I want to buy one of those.
