Yeah, the IT01x shell is not as nice looking as the IT00, but the form factor of the IT01x is smaller and lower profile. Also, the area surrounding the mmcx connector is flat which is cable friendly. This is a pretty tiny IEM, all things considered. Roughly the same size as the YBF.Nice. Any comparisons to the it00?
I wish they stuck to the old it series design instead of this one, or at least they could've not included that 'In Tune' text, lol.
I can't do a real A/B test so I won't get into too much sonic nuance, but there's definitely no driver flex haha. Notably, the upper mids and treble are cleaner with the IT01x. This helps with the consonant range and the air. The IT01x isn't a wide staging IEM but the treble technicalities improve that sense of space. To me, the timbre sounds like a cross between a carbon driver and a pure beryllium driver. Bass on the 01x is a bit more textured than the 00 but it's a more even match, I think. Overall it sounds more refined to me, and I'm hoping it scales well with something like the Cayin N6ii.
