I agree about the fit. The stock cable and tips didn't work for me, the angled connectors forced the IEMs out of my ears. With the fit I have now, the BLON is one of the best in my collection but I would like a little more treble presence and life. They make for a very relaxing listen, though.
One of the best in terms of fit or sound?

In terms of sound. It took quite a bit of experimentation to obtain an acceptable fit as I have larger than average ear canals. However once adjusted they perform well above their price level.

I also have larger than average ear canals and more over, my left one is a little bit bigger than right one. Troublesome but thankful as I given awesome hearing to enjoy this hobby world

Kopi Okaya posted some EQ settings in the comment section of @Otto Motor 's Blon review that are supposed to make the BL-03 sound a bit like the Tanchjim Oxygen.

Well, I tried those settings in the parametric EQ in UAPP and while the results sound a bit over the top to my ears here and there (8.5k boost) it can be considered a starting point for own experiments. What these settings certainly achieved was a more airy sound (16k +5dB, hehe) ... definitely worth a shot and some extra tinkering if EQing is your thing.

OK, I've been reading such love for the BLON BL-03 here that I'm about to go for a pair, in preference to the Tin Hi-Fi T2. Any recommendations as to the best place to buy these? I assume AliExpress, but I'm quite a newbie to that and am not sure whether it's safe to just go for the cheapest option or whether there are known good (or bad) sellers on there?

Just use a seller on aliexpress that has had a lot of orders. It will be ok.

I'll just go for the cheapest (after factoring in shipping). Unless the seller is brand new or has < 95% positive ratings.
Aliexpress is very safe IMHO, they keep the money in escrow until the buyer confirms they received a satisfactory product, then they release the money to seller.

If u can wait a month or so, 11/11 is coming up, and there are usually big discounts on aliexpress. But I bet there will be a new hypetrain IEM by then and maybe the BLON BL-03 will be yesterday's news then haha.

Edit: oh ya, China is having a golden week holiday this week, so if u do purchase anything from aliexpress now, chances are, it will be delayed.

As @mbwilson111 alluded to, when you do a search for "Blon BL-03", the top sellers will appear at the top of the list (.e.g. AK..., Woo...)

Be aware that orders might take over a week, to start their being processed. 70th Anniversary (Hail Hydra) starts today (Oct 1st), which coincides with the nationally recognized "Golden Week" holiday; which also starts on the 1st of October.

When I was looking for a small micro driver earphone, to replace the HiFi BCD X10 that I've taken apart (to try and rewire as L = Left and R = Right), I came across the DEAT HiFi Small, and ordered a set for $29 from Penon Audio.
Looking forward to seeing how well they fit, and how good they sound.

I've jumped on the BLON BL-03 hype train. I heard someone say they use QDC connectors. Can anyone comment what type of cable these benefit most from. I tend to default to pure copper. I'm thinking a Jcally 4 or 8 share QDC 0.78mm cable. Any suggestions?
