Sure, play with EQ without any fear in the bass frequencies (and to a minor extent in mid-highs or lower treble if you're sensitive those frequencies) and I think you'll be positively surprised.- kennyhack

HZSOUNDS Heart Mirror
What I find exceptional about Hzsound Heart Mirror is its EQ capabilities. For me, it's not my cup of tea with its stock sound signature, but it takes bass boost so well, so I boosted the bass and decreased a bit mid-highs and lower treble, and now I can really say that Heart Mirror can achieve...- kennyhack

Reply to review by 'kennyhack' on item 'Blon BL-01'
I also bought BL-01 at AK Audio Store at 11.11 , and a a couple of days after I bought a second set from another seller. And the fact is that the second pair is more lively and airy sounding, better soundstage, faster and more textured bass, and less recessed mids compared to the first pair I...- kennyhack

Blon in ear monitors impressions thread
Thanks for the detailed comparison! I'd like to highlight that BL-01 needs some power and proper amping to sound its best. In my case, I use Sonata HD Pro as my portable audio equipment, but plugging a cable extension (or jack adapter) before plugging BL-01 bypasses the "low impedance IEM mode"...- kennyhack

Just make sure you use a different set of tips (throw stock tips away) and if you can, also replace the stock cable with a better one.- kennyhack

That's a major upgrade you're doing... from KZ ES4 to BL-01... Yesterday I had a brief listen to my "old" sets of IEM's (in which there's KZ ES4) and I can tell you that you'll be more than happy with BL-01.- kennyhack

I appreciate your reply 👍 Well, different tastes for different ears, luckily we've got different options to choose from based on our preferences. In my case with EDX, I've had to partially cover the nozzle with micropore tape in order to tame the upper mids and treable peaks that I hear...- kennyhack

Depending on what you'd want to achieve (increase or reduce bass, increase or reduce treble) people use certain tips. Tips can change sound signature slightly. For BL-01 I'd reccomend Spinfits CP-145 , and if you'd like a cheaper alternative or you don't know which size fits your ears best, you...- kennyhack

BTW if someone finds BL-01 too polite in the treble area or still a bit muddy or dark, the good news is that it takes EQ pretty well without distorion or sounding weird. I've been playing with EQ and you can make it more neutral sounding and detail revealing by toning down bass and midbass...- kennyhack

Build quality looks better. Shell is bigger on BL-01 though. A new cable is strongly reccomended, as well as different tips (you can throw the stock tips away as soon as your receive it, they're crap)- kennyhack

Well, I don't know if you received the same BL-01 as me, but I have both KZ EDX and BL-01 and from my point of view, my conclusions are the opposite as yours. Of course than the top end of BL-01 is less than KZ EDX, but the main problem with EDX is that it has a noticeable SHARP upper mids and...- kennyhack

Guess I'd share my 0.02$ of Blon-01 which I've had since yesterday morning. I'm listening to them right now, and I've had Blon 03 since it came out, and can definetely say that it remains the main characteristics of BL-03's sound signature but with a faster and tighter bass response. Upper...- kennyhack

Well, you've been lucky! But it's a pity to find these differences in sound quality between sets! At least I'm glad to have discovered the full Blon experience now with my 2nd set.- kennyhack

With the first set I always thought it had too much muddy midbass and was lacking some air and extension on top, so I EQ'd it a bit, lowering midbass frequencies and upping a bit 10 - 16kHz. With the second set I do not feel like EQ'ing it at all, the sound is more balanced across the range.- kennyhack

I've been A/B 'ing both sets for a while, and there's definetely an improvement in treble extension and soundstage. For example from minute 1:54 to 2:21 in "Animals - Martin Garrix" I can hear the high pitched electronic drums much clearer and naturally with the 2nd set. Obviously I used the...- kennyhack
