Dunno why they still keep those eartips and cable.

Most budget CHIFI have to save money somewhere, and accessories are the common area they cut costs at? Well for us in this hobby I don't really mind as we can cable or tiproll later on, but yeah the laymen consumers might just use whatever is packed in the box, and if the fit is meh, the sound goes downhill with suboptimal fit.

I thought most Westerners with bigger ears had fit problems due to the original BLON BL-03's too short nozzles. The BL-03's stock tips were so so (I read newer batches had better fitting tips, but can't confirm as mine was of an earlier batch). And the stock cable fit was +/- for some folks, those that had issues with it were cause the earhooks were too stiff and tended to pull the IEM shell out of the ears, but most had an issue with the short nozzle more than the cable.

What happened to Your rig?

First imm6 broke (the tip ripped off), and with the 2nd one I was never able to get good results. It always read with massively rolled off sub bass. I thought it was the mic capsule not sealed, so I took it apart and sealed the capsule. Still rolled off sub bass. Then I found out that there is a bug in AudioTools that can cause a sub bass roll off, but the workaround fix did not work for me. Still massive sub bass roll off. So I’ve given up on the imm6 rigs.

In the mean time, I got an IEC711 coupler and mic, but I need to get a preamp and phantom power module for it to work. I also got a dB meter, but I have no way to reliably calibrate it. So before I can use it I also need to get a dB meter calibrator.

So as you can see, it’s kind of a cluster**** at the moment.

I've tried this mod filter today, I'm not sure if I'm treble sensitive but it's more shouty and harsh compared to the stock, especially at higher volumes. Rolling alcohol swab strip inside the nozzle helped to control things better but the sound is leaner overall. Well, it's not for me, but for those into a brighter signature might enjoy it. (Using AZLA tips btw)

Wasnt the 05 supposed to have a DD+piezo setup? All the stores just market them as a DD.

Seems that it is pre-sale. "The product is currently out of stock and is expected to be in stock on May 30. "

Asked some other stores and they said that it is pre-sale so....

I asked that exact store, and they said it is pre-sale. According to linsoul/dd-audio store they ship it 05/30
Ahhhh... I got it. Thanks for the info! This gonna be my first BLON so I am anticipated hahaha.

If they will ship only on 05/30 then why do we need to place order early? Is it an early bird price?

Thx

Gotta admit that my interest in the 05 dropped a bit since it doesnt seem to be DD+piezo setup. The modded 03 is very satisfying right now.
