Can anyone compare IM-03 with Re600?
I'm so happy with Re600 , my best IEM ever but i need 1 more for changing and ATH is my 2nd favourite brand. 
I listened to IM-70. Its good but lack of detail in mid and i feel it dun have enough sparkle so can u give me some idea, Does Im-03 suit with my taste?

Based on your description of what IM70 is lacking, and some of the reviews of RE600 I just read, IM03 will be for you!!!  I have to say that IM03 "ruined" my enjoyment of W40 lol!!!  I think their well balanced and very detailed mids (especially natural sounding vocals) while still having a heck of a well controlled sub-/mid-bass is what makes them stand out.

From what I read so far, I guess all IM series have natural vocal presentation and mids. I have IM50 the lowest of the new series but it is still my favorite IEM so far. I only listened IM50 and IM02 from the new bunch but I can easily say that they share the same sound characteristics except that IM02 is more detailed.

Its not the tips its the angle of the tube coming off the shells. The headphone sticks out from my head instead of nestling in my ear. I guess that's why I use the GR07be...the adjustable nozzle clearly is needed in my case. Shame too cuz these things sound awesome.

Actually I agree with you. The angled nozzle as well as the large bore size makes it very difficult to achieve a good seal. Though I settled with Sony hybrids I still couldn't get a good seal nor isolation, hence I'm only using it in quiet environments. If they do a redesign of it, it would be good!

For those that have ATH-CK10, would you say any of the IM0X beat the CK10?  I think CK10 is excellent, and just curious if AT has come with better performing products with the new IE0X series.
 
Maybe I will have to find out for myself.
