Hi all,
I've been on a fruitless endeavor to replace my it03. I lost my pair a couple weeks ago and since have tried the JVC HA FX1 (worst iem purchase I've made) and the ISN H40. The way these two have been hyped really gave me hope but I'm starting to think I should just buy another it03.
My issues with the it03 were the ever so slight lack of note weight/lean notes, a lack of bass texture/impact (almost perfect quantity though), and I wish the stage were slightly larger. Also, the fit was pretty far off for me. Any longer than an hour made my ears ache.
Can I get an upgrade for under 300? I have considered the Z5 but it's hard to find used and they seem to be ridiculous to take on the go. FH5 seems to have a small stage, which I can't stand. Any suggestions would be helpful!
