Yes, the fit of the Blons is a major hassle. I'm using Sony MH755 tips and little spacers made from the canals of other silicone tips (as above), and I do get a seal, in that I get great sound and they don't come out of my ears if I give them a gentle tug (i.e., there is a little suction there), but I'm still unconvinced I'm getting the best out of them. I tried my Sony MH755s yesterday and the fit was just so much easier, with a proper seal being trivial to achieve.

After recabling and sealing the MH755 vent, I find the MH755's easier to listen to, as they don't have as much mid-bass quantity as the Blon's do. I'm not sure if it's the mid-bass overpowering the highs on the Blon's, but I almost feel the MH755's have a more detailed high end. On a frequency sweep, I can hear the MH755's up to 18Khz, the Blon's seem to go up to about 17.5Khz. Soundstage on the MH755 is wide, but the Blon's have better width and depth.
Sure! My cables came from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33030782005.html
You can just order the standard cable with a mic if you need that. You can just search AE if that's insufficient, as I haven't looked into that.
If you're more ambitious about your cables, you can take some inspiration from this guy:
I'm too much of a newbie at this game to be much good at describing sound differences. But my general impression is that the MH755 is a little weightier (may be the superior seal I get), and possibly a little clearer at the top end. But the BLONs have what seems to me to be a more integrated, balanced sound overall, and are a tad more enjoyable to listen to as a result. I'm finding myself setting out to listen to and analyse aspects of the sound but then just getting lost in the music, which can only be a good sign.

I'm having the same experience with the BLONs... using them at home which I almost never do with IEMs. Honestly I'm kind of in awe of them, great sound.
Wide bore tips work well with them. I bought some generic tips from Trig Rain store and they're fantastic with BL03. Whirlwinds make them sound more open and mid-bass is streamlined. They sound good Sony hybrids as well. I suggest that you try all tips in your collection and decide it. I tried them with some 7-8 tips before finalizing one. Now not only they fit flush but sound fantastic. Although YMMV.
I originally bought this cable to use with the BLON BL-03: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000113348265.html. Not seen anyone else talking about this, so was wondering about ordering a different (but still cheap) one today, if it would be an improvement. Any thoughts?
