Has to be whatever your favourite foams happen to be.

I use Whirlwinds a size up from what I normally use with mine.

To aid in getting go fit on short stem iems like the blons, insert the stem of a smaller tip inside the stem of a larger tip, which allows it to stay up higher on the stem improving fit. Isolation is very good for me this way, ymmv of course. Also trim off stems to fit as sleeves at the 2 pin cable/iem junction to stabilize connection.
Boy do these puppies sound great.

I have legit IG955 that came with my note 8 and have been trying to hunt down another real set, it seems that this is the most counterfeit IEM in existence. Confirm/deny?

edit: i'm convinced every single one is fake that is for sale, reading the reviews

The other night i broke my favourite MMCX cable when trying it with the CNT-1 :frowning2:

It was the one I got from Penon as a replacement for my LZ A4... I got it on and it just wasn't for coming back off. Eventually had no choice but to use pliers as safely as i could but I split the end in half. Anyone else have problems with them... both sides were actually as tight?

You need to get those “keys” that help remove stubborn mmcx. They’ve been posted many times before. They only cost a few bucks, and I haven’t damaged a single mmcx since using them. The cost is a fraction of even a single mmcx cable, so they pay for themselves 10xs over every time they’re used.

Do you have a name for those keys as I need to order them for tight MMCX connectors?

A dynamic driver battle! Semkarch SKC CNT1 on the right and the Blon BL-03 on the left.

They both sound great and shame they discontinued the CNT1.

I don't get why they made the nozzle so short on the BL-03 as the right earphone just keeps popping out of my ear with the stock cable. Different tips and a nicehck 8 core cable solved that.

That is absolutely the only answer to the question "which do I buy? Blon or Semkarch?"

The Blon sounds similar to the CNT1 with the gold filters which reduces the bass slightly and slightly elevates the treble.

The CNT1 can be a bass monster if necessary.

I like them both but the shape of the CNT1 is better in my opinion.

Get both if you can lol
