Unfortunately nothing yet. They haven't said a peep about them since middle of last year so I'm excited they are still in the works

Showed them at NYC Can Jam, supposed to be out in a month or two IIRC.

I heard the fiio f9 pro yesterday it was damn good . From what I can it01 sound sig is very similar to fiio and it's cheaper . Hence it01 should be recommended I feel imho

Then you should listen to Fiio FH1. It's better than F9 Pro and almost half the price.
From what I have read to people with a great reputation as @Brooko, F9 Pro has some excess treble.

I have FH1 and IT01 and the profile is quite similar. The great advantage that FH1 has over IT01 is its comfort and price. The IT01 cable is excellent, but the Fiio comes with 2 cables in the box.

I tried both fh1 and f9. Both sound very thin

Well fellas, I'm had about 10 minutes with it (it needs some power from a strong amp - probably tube is the best for it), I truly believe in burn-in, but already I must state that is THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK full-size over-the-ear headphone I have ever purchased!

I'm sad I didn't have the opportunity to jump on that one. I've been looking for a pair since then on the aftermarket, but everything is marked up to $250-275. I'll just wait for another drop at that point.

OK so something to keep a look out for. Aliexpress is going to have their anniversary sale here in a weeks time. What does this mean? Guys that missed out on getting nicer cables/ daps/ earphones/ accessories on the big 11/11 sale from last year will have a chance again.

I was just browsing around the site and there are gonna be some very nice deals on the site from all the vendors. It also looks like aliexpress will be throwing out random coupons. Keep a watch out on the site for some really good deals. I plan on getting some foam tips and a few other things.

SD7 plus will be sold for $161 as well.

The Star Tips are good. Some say they differ slightly I believe bass wise from the original grey ones. They seem the same to my ears though the black version is a little more firm I guess so that could attribute to things.
