Faael Hibiscus arrived! "Transparent" color. O.o;


Sharing same driver as Blon-03 and Tin HiFi T4.

Blon-03 subtle v-like signature, with enjoyable bass and details. More Soundstage than Blon-03.

Only con, Voices may be shouty, or I am just sensitive to that. Need others to second this.



I would say the Faaeal Company's graph is pretty accurate and not romanticizing it.

So pretty

It'll be interesting to compared the Hibiscus to the Datura Pro
I hope their IEMS are as good a surprise discovery as their buds were for me

How is Blon bl03 compared with LZ A6mini with respect to SQ? I'm debating which one I should purchase. I mainly listen to classical music.

I have both. They are both good, but I feel like the LZ A6mini gives you more options for customizing the sound with the three filter sets, and that could be important depending on what you are looking for. Initially I went with the black "reference" filters on my A6mini, but then I revisited the red filters that reduce the treble, and tried out a bunch of different ear tips, and by going with some wide bore ear tips that aren't very long (they don't extend much beyond the end of the nozzle) I was able to rebalance the overall sound to my liking - good sub-bass with palpable impact, present but not overwhelming bass, non-recessed mids, detailed but not fatiguing highs. Blon BL03 has a lot fewer variables to play with (and with the short nozzle, you'll be more limited with regards to what tips you can try with it). I'll try to do a side-by-side with the two when I have some time. Any particular classical pieces you recommend I use to compare them?

Good evening, everyone!

What IEM would you recommend for a sub $50 budget?

I was thinking of either getting the CCA A10 (heard good things about it here) for a pure BA iem (my first) or the BLON-03 that everyone seems to like.

I already have the Tin T2, and the new T4 is out of my budget for now.

What do you think? Another recommendations? Is there better IEMs under $50?

Yeah, if you got a T2, then the Blon-03 covers other uses.

Or you could go up a tier for the Shuoer Tape.

I can't answer your question as regards the comparison, as I don't know the LZ A6mini, but I would say that the BLONs are pretty good for classical, which is what I mainly listen to as well. Everything has a nice natural sound, and I find myself getting very absorbed in the music and forgetting about the sound. Full orchestra can sound a little congested, and massed strings at full pelt sound maybe a touch shrill, but I've not heard any IEMs for which this isn't true yet. I could maybe do with a little more detail, and sense of space around the instruments, but all in all they're very impressive.

Thank you for sharing your experience with BL03 and I immediately order it.

Could you please compare both iems by playing any classical / romantic piano concertos and any chamber music with piano. Hopefully, I may get the information from you before the end of the sale today if I decide to order LZ A6mini. Thanks in advance.

My 11/11. Besides catching up on the latest winners around here: KZ ZSX and TRN V90 and another Blon BL03 (its that good), I found a good price on the LZ Z05A ($28.50):

Not too many reviews of that one, but the prize is way down from where it started.

I heard someone say if you have the CNT1 the Z05A wasn't worthwhile? The CNT1 needs a new cable and eartips and in my configuration it's nothing special.

 

[BadReligionPunk]

I think the LZ Z05a is a bit lighter in bass and more balanced then CNT. For that main reason I have stayed away from it, although it looks beautiful. I am sure it sounds nice and at $25 after coupon, I was slightly tempted to just get it this time around. Never been confirmed AFAIK, but should be the same driver in both.

I have the CNT-1, so a more balanced version (LZ Z05A) would suit me well.

Please let us know for sure. I'm assuming you are getting one? Interested in compare with blon also.

Last hour had $15 off $100... I caved and also got the Shuoer Tape for $90. Hope no connector issues arise.
