First impression:

I can’t believe I let these sit for a few days before trying them. Work.....

Well. My initial impression straight out of the box...

INSANE

I never liked IEMs...had SHURE / WESTONE years ago, can’t remember the models, Shure was $250, WESTONE was $325...second (ear) hand...a few other budget IEMs...sold them all after a week; none felt right in their presentation.

Took 7 years off from this hobby and I feel like I hit the lottery. These are a no brainer.

Full Review coming after burn in...but right out of the box. Beautiful Sub Bass, crisp highs...and everything in between.

AND...it’s about the little things, the beautiful packaging and details, all of the extra pads, replacement screen set, a very very nice stock cable...I was using them with my Schiit JOT before getting them into the CF01s....

What a great day!!!!!!

Hats off to IBASSO

Fully immersed
Beautiful closed feel...tips right out of the box fit the bill for me.

All of this needs to burn in...but WOW to right now. The 3D...wonderful isolation...perfectly clear....all minute details are present, triangle is full and detailed in the beginning of Rey’s Theme

No need to be Goldilocks with these...I feel no need to look further. Beyond overjoyed already!!!!

First thing this morning.
Stellar
Smooth and completely as perfect as I recall from yesterday’s session. Wrembel is a perfect test...the precision and clarity are 10/10
You will not get it until you listen...try this album too.

Starting them early...he shares his music, I share my hobby.

 

[paulybatz]

A new appreciation for this song...it has a ton of depth and interpolation...and a little cool

If you listen to Jazz and classical like I do, you will find it Rock Solid in all ranges...Solid in all Rock (music) ranges too.
The CF01...along with TIDAL MASTER quality tracks...unbelievable perfection.
And comfort laying down...moving around too...I went downstairs...outside...no issue 40 feet!!!....not tied to 8 or 6 feet with my other phones.

Check out these two tracks. IT doesn’t miss a beat, snare...dark space...The Edge is a great track that does it all. Minuet...is like food...just delicious sustenance through these.

Wow…what a huge improvement of isolation…bass…clarity

Amazingness
