If all you're looking for is better ergonomics, then go for it. Just don't expect a change in sound. Especially for $20.
The cable I made would cost at least $200 from one of the big custom shops. It sounds great, but I can't easily say if I hear a difference. I don't listen to the IM03 very often anymore.
A (3 months old from their 2nd birthday since I made the purchase, but still going strong besides harden wire, worn out [but still acceptable for me] plastic housing and much blatantly looser pins) IM02 user here. What I can say about them is that these have turned me from someone who loved a V-shaped, bassy kind of sound to someone who is exactly the opposite of that (neutral/balanced head, whatever).
If anyone is looking for a pair of in-ear monitors that does every single genre well but don't want to shell out way too much (just take note that these are tricky to fit), these can be seriously considered for their price. However, these can sound peaky at times if you use a certain source or music to play with, so these are definitely not for everyone (cliche).
I have the ATH IM50 and I love this little fellas!
I guess this makes me a basshead?
Even loving the IM50 I'd like to have an option with plenty of bass but with a bigger soundstage and clarity.
What would you recommend me?
The IM02 and IM03 seems to have great clarity and openness but won't have bass enough for me I'm correct about this?
The IM70 seems to be the same thing of IM50 but less bassy (more controlled thought).
I was thing about geting the vsonic GR07 BASS edition but it seems to be treble heavy and I'm quite sensitive in this area. (I have already the Vsonic VSD3S with I love but that is my treble limit).
