Ya I was just listening to the IT01 using my BL and man it sounds good. It don't sound like any $100 earphone I have heard I will tell you that much. I was thinking of getting the DS1 but that money can go toward the IT04.
You have a BL too? Btw i tried the DM5 on balanced from the zx300, very satisfying for me.
Have you heard any initial impressions on the it04?

I got to listen a bit to the it04 today at CanJam, it was show conditions, short, soso don't have detdetai comments, but paired with their DX200/Amp4, they were mighty fine sounding, open, detailed, good drive, I enjoyed listening to them.

Any chance you stopped by the Dunu booth? Curious about 4001 & Falcon-C.

@Raketen, i hadn't, too much stuff here, but I went back to check them out. They didn't have the 4001 (they had it, but they told me they were told to send it back, it seems to be still in development) . The Falcon C was here, wentwback to hear it, not too expensive, single DD driver, warm iem leaning to bass emphasis. (standard disclaimer .. Noisy room, short listen, too many headphone auditions overload on my part).

Samson SR850 or Samson SR950. Best value for money monitoring headphones.

Anyone have experience with Status Audio CB-1? Was thinking about getting these for monitoring.

Saw these...https://www.flareaudio.com/products/flares-jet ...and not ever trying Flare I took one for the team and bought a JET 2
Big talk about changing the earphone game and...

"Imagine if you had X-Ray hearing. The ability to hear all the subtle nuances and detail in your favorite tracks for the first time.

Flares® JET brings Flare's unique audio technologies to everyone. Gone are the days when you have to spend thousands to hear amazing sound quality, Flares® JET is changing the game."

So, let us see what ~$88 will get you and just how much you don't need to spend $1000(said the company that just released a $1350 Gold model) :) Easy enough to get to the bottom of it soon after receiving them.

Also someone made a thread for them last night...

EARNiNE's EN2J is one of the most crisp and clean sounding earphones I have come across to date. It's signature being treble heavy and bass light certainly won't have widespread appeal, but the level of detail and clarity it's dual-BAs brings to the table is most impressive;

E-earphone has pics of the new Final coming out on 3/18 for ~$250-ish.

Wish they could cut down the length of the connector relief but I assume you can replace with another cable.

Haven't seen these before- Interestingly designed earspeaker/earbud type thing Ambie "sound earcuffs". Only around $50.
Maybe my ear cartilage is just weak but these look super painful, cool idea though.
