Not for me. You can hear a bit more mids and highs (nothing agressive and it also helps with some of the detail retrieval) with stock cable. Once I switched to a Yinnyoo 16 core copper cable, the highs got more tamed and bass became even more punchy and richer.

TFZ no. 3 is still unbeatable for bassheads: https://rg.squig.link/?share=RikudouGoku_Target,intime_Sora_Light_2019_(S2),TFZ_No.3

btw, does anyone know which stock tips the Blon BL03 / 05 uses? I find the small ones (also the longest) one of my favorite tips, so I'm interested in buying some: (they are very similar to Spinfit CP500 (size S), but of course they aren't)

I have the kbear 08 and it's a bassy eartip. Not that it boosts the bass (which I think it doesn't, at least largely enough for you to notice), but instead it tames the mid-highs and highs in order to reduce sibilance. Personally I only use them in those IEMs which highs can be too strong, since...

btw, how about the Sony XBA-N1AP vs a TFZ no.3? (for a basshead I mean) I know Sony is twice the price, but I want to know if the differences are huge or not.

Thanks for the clarification. I really meant the N1, as they are more bassy than the N3 :wink:

yes that's it ;) btw, how about the Sony XBA-N1AP vs a TFZ no.3? I know Sony is twice the price, but I want to know if the differences are huge or not.

System: - MSI Z490 Gaming Plus - Intel 10600K @ 5.0Ghz all cores, with Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme Rev. B + Phanteks PH-F140HP2 + Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste (one fan only due to RAM height) - Crucial Ballistix Gaming 32GB Kit 3200 16-18-18-36 @ 4000Mhz 17-21-21-44 - Zotac 1660...

I have the IT00 but I find them not so much on the basshead level and also with a more flat sound (I prefer the V-shaped profile from my KS1 for instance), so I'm looking to a side-upgrade of the IT00 for a real v-shape basshead IEM.
