What tips are folks using with the Blon BL- 03.... I am liking them with large Spinfit at the moment.

That's what I'm using, with a TRN 16 core cable. Perfect fit.

I use foam tips from a variety of sources. I know that they are @mbwilson111 favourites

 

[FastAndClean]

I use the stock gray tips, they are great

The blon03 only seals for me with long foams like the new bee middle sized narrow ones, ymmv. I swear it was made for a 5 year old.

I switched over to these rather shallow wide bore tips last night (AE)

... more comfortable fit, less driver flex during insertion, slightly more sub-bass, extended treble and better imaging/layering than from the ones I've used before - using the same tips on my IMRs as well

I'm only 4...mama..


Actually, I think I'm using the new bee ones as it goes. But I've also fitted the cut-off sleeve of a starline down the nozzle to lift it up more.

I thought everyone knew by now how much I hate foam tips.

Let me guess...You must be, what...3 and a half years old?
haha.
Those are very shallow and would fall out of my ears I think...

You would probably go up a size and, depending on your ear shape, the concha and the cable would keep it stable. My Blon lies so tight and flat in my concha that I would be able to sleep on my side with them if I wanted to. The eartips are not going in deep. I have not extended the nozzle. If I did ,or used longer tips, the shell body would be sitting out away from the concha just held in place by the tips. It would feel insecure that way to me.

So, very happy with the sound and the fit.

Still using (and loving)in sub-50$ area:

SF ****
BLON BL-03
KZ ZS10PRO
AUDIOSENSE T180
FINAL AUDIO E2000-E3000
TIN AUDIO T2
BQEYZ KB100

Great list! I have them all except the final audio. Any one of those on that list are <$50 winners.

The average Asian ear is smaller in size.

The average Asian ear is smaller in size.

Yes I know, but that doesn't explain why other various Asian iems fit fine.

can someone ( or link me to a reply or thread that ) compared bl03 and mh755

much appreciated

I'm really tempted to jump on this Blon BL-03 hype train. But still not sure if it'll be big enough upgrade (I know that it's relative for each user) over my current daily IEM, the KZ ZS10 Pro and TinAudio T2. Also what would warrant a big enough upgrade over the $50ish ZS10 pro? I was considering the Guideray GR-1 but also chifi's in the $100-$150 range like the TFZ No.3. I'm leaning towards a new IEM that sounds more like ZS10 pro than the T2.

This thread by @Tonymac136 compares the 2 IEMs, very helpful IMO.

I have yet to receive my BLON BL-03, but it is a single DD compared to the hybrid KZ ZS10 Pro, so they have different strengths and weaknesses IMHO.
Usually single DDs would excel at timbre and sounding more organic, whereas the hybrids/multi BAs would have better details and instrument separation (in general).
TFZ No. 3 is a single DD IEM too and loses out (slightly) to the ZS10 Pro in terms of clarity, details, instrument separation as above. But it has a much better bass in terms of quantity and quality. TFZ No. 3 is quite suitable for all genres but will excel at bass forward music like EDM IMHO. And No. 3 has better timbre than the ZS10 Pro, which sounds a bit artificial for some acoustic instruments.
I don't have the T2 or guideray so I can't comment on that.

As for what would warrant a big upgrade over the ZS10 Pro? I think that is pretty subjective as the higher up we go the law of diminishing returns kicks in. The newest KZ release, the ZSX, is supposed to have improvements over the ZS10 Pro, but I don't have it. It is a few bucks more than the ZS10 Pro too. I have 2 multi BA/hybrid IEMs that are more expensive than the ZS10 Pro (Westone W30 and Audiosense T800), but they cost like 5 - 10x more, and the improvement is not 5 - 10x. But they do give better instrument separation, details, clarity, soundstage etc.
There are some great reviews for newly released CHIFI IEMs that are hybrids/multi BAs like the ZS10 Pro - the CCA C12, KZ ZSX, TRN V90, BQEYZ Spring 1, so maybe u can check out those.
