BLON BL-03 (0.78mm 2pin), is it comfortable wearing straight down (with the drivers reversed/upside-down)?


Very comfortable for me. I did not need to change the tips from when I was using them cable up. Symbio Peels in both cases.

That sucks it got cancelled. I was really wanting to know how that 90's Indian Movie composer guy Rahman sounded through them.

Im interested in knowing if the Hibiscus is using the same driver as the KXXS or the KPE/OG Kanas. I wouldn't be shocked. The anime waifu art design could be a wink wink nod to that. We now know that Blon Cardinal/Bluejay and Blon Bl-03 are using the same driver from Tanjchim Oxygen so anything is possible.

There was a photo from a week ago, and they sure looked the same (if not extremely similar). I’ll see if I can find the photo...

My Nicehck DB3 review is up on my blog, and will be up on Head-Fi next weekend.
I think it's a solid entry-level hybrid that represents a much-needed course correction for Nicehck's in-house product development.
It has issues with timbre and tonality, and the treble is potentially harsh, but I haven't heard an IEM at this price that doesn't have those issues.
On the plus side, it offers good detail retrieval and clarity, and the transition from bass to midrange is particularly well done for an IEM at this price.

Love the cable. Looks a lot like the one on iBasso IT01.

BTW, here was the Faaeal Hibiscus DLC driver photo comparison I mentioned:

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-discovery-thread.586909/page-2962#post-15278057

Although upon careful inspection, the driver is NOT the same. The Tanchjim Cora has more small holes around the circumference of the grille compared to the Hibiscus driver.

By my count, the Hibiscus driver has 8 small holes vs the Tanchjim Cora's 14 (or possibly 12) holes.

Moondrop Kanas driver is DLC and has 8 small holes.
