Yeah I'm not the type of person buying shining stuff either. I did however made some subtle modification to the the Blon 03 that I got. I originally bought them in Brown, then I used a piece of 150 graded sand paper to clean the surface. It still looks silver but not as reflective as the stock ones (even under the lights), hope this method helps.
Boy, these sure are utter garbage!While looking for TV specs for cyber Monday yesterday, I came across this TCL 1 DD / 1 piezo headphone: https://www.tclusa.com/products/headphones/elit/tcl-midnight-blue-ear-headphones-mic-elit300bl. No idea whether it is any good, but Amazon Warehouse had a new one for sale that was $17 due to damaged packaging, so I took a punt on it, will arrive this week.
Boy, these sure are utter garbage!
Hello!
I've been searching for info for almost 6 months to replace my entire portable setup (which was basically an iPod Classic 5.5 with Tarkan Mod + some random Xiaomi earbuds) and today my brand new (well, second hand but barely used) Sony NW ZX300A came today in the mail, can't wait to get home and add some music to this bad boy.
I've been reading about IEMs for a bit but i am still a bit lost with the amount of options available. Bare in mind that I haven't experienced the different sound signatures out there since the only headphones/earphones I have are the Xiaomi Pistons and the Audio Technica ATH M50X. My budget is around 60 euro, and what I'm looking for (I think) is a detailed pair of IEMs since I like to hear as much as I can of what is going on on my music but I don't mind some fun sound signature going on.
I listen to a wide variety of music, from poorly recorded Black Metal to minimal pieces like Arvo Part.
I've been reading and seeing a lot of videos but I'm still a bit lost with all the options. I've narrowed down my options to (open to recommendations!):
I don't have a single problem changing the tips or the cable (as always, recommendations welcome, specially on the thickness of the cable and tips in general).
- Blon 03 (I think these are my favorite, but I've read that the connector is weird and it's a bit difficult to find a replacement cable)
- Tin T2/T3 (a bit old, T4s look like they are a better built Blon 03s but still a bit expensive).
- TFZ T2
- KZ ZSX
- KZ ZS10 Pro
I'll be using this setup for commuting, since at home I'll be using the AT (at least for now).
Thanks!
Blon BL03 is a bit lacking in detail and separation but makes up for it in musicality. Expect a bit of experimentation with eartips.
Yeah, who knows honestly, ha. They're incredibly dull, with zero high end sparkle, a fully 2 dimensional soundstage that feels like it's at the back of your head, and no sense of detail/separation like you'd expect from a piezo. The best I can say about these is that the DD provides moderately decent mid bass that isn't too bloated. I did check to see if maybe they were out of phase, but nope, that's not the issue.Do you think the pair you received is just an isolated case? You bought it on Amazon Warehouse, meaning it was returned for some reason. Perhaps that particular pair had a problem from the get go, which is why it was returned?.
Who knows though. It's actually not that surprising, for a company that primarily makes TVs lol

Nice job.
I had used a green Scotch Brite pad on one of my pairs, which gave it a nice satin/brushed finish. Very subdued and classy looking, vs the shiny bling of the stock one.
Hopefully, the underlying zinc doesn’t discolor or oxidize with the plating gone. That’s why I didn’t do it to both of my pairs. I wanted to wait a good while after doing the 1st pair, to make sure the underlying metal didn’t get affected. Assuming all is good, I will eventually do my 2nd pair.

Take the TFZ T2 Galaxy. It's a very fun sounding IEM & it's one of my favorite. Fairly balanced sounding imo, but only some problem you'll encounter is the driver flex. for commuting, it isolate pretty well too.Hello!
