I'm traveling and don't have Blons with me right now. Will share them tomorrow.
Here you go!

Yup, love me some Auvios. I just ordered another big batch a few weeks ago.

I also finally got some of those AZLA Sedna (light) tips that everyone raves about. They fit the Blon perfectly - no spacer or anything needed. They're ridiculously overpriced IMO, so I will only use them sparingly.

I'm curious about your findings, would you say the AZLA improves something over the Auvios SQ-wise? I've got one pack (default) after reading good impressions but they still with my friend in the USA.

So I've just received a NiceHCK balanced cable with NX7 termination. I've taken the opporty to connect it to my es100. I also swapped channels and tried wearing them down. Loveliness ensued.

I haven't really noticed any differences with sound. The tips have roughly the same bore diameter, skirt OD, etc.

The differences between the AZLA and Auvio on the BL-03 is more how it fits the Blon nozzle:

1. AZLA fits the Blon nozzle more securely. The Auvio still fits the Blons very well, but the AZLA locks onto the Blon nozzle with death grip.
2. The core on the AZLA is a few mm longer than the Auvios, so the tip sticks out a few mm longer. This can potentially address fit issues with some people who feel the Blon nozzle is too short.

I can post pictures if it would help to see.

Note this is with M Auvio and SM AZLA tips. It's possible that other sizes are different. For example, when you look at the core of Starlines, it actually sticks out of the skirt on S, is even with the skirt on M, and sticks inside of the skirt on L.

The AZLA are extremely comfortable. They're incredibly soft. They do increase treble detail and that might or might not suit everyone.

The Nicehck cable I bought from 11/11 arrived today. Really enjoying this combo. Also got Tin T4 & KZ ZSX today but still prefer the BLON’s so far. However I’ll give the other two a chance over the next couple of weeks before I make my final judgement on them.

Over the 11.11 sale I bought a load of cheap tips, starlines, whirlwind and generic. To try out on my KZs, CCAs and on the Blon.

One set of the generics is a very nice fit for the Blons, as it has a lip on the end which fits nicely into the ridge on the nozzle of the IEM, so don't slip down onto the body of the blons. Therefore not blocking the vent.
They are also very shallow, so the blons nozzle is roughly 7/8mm from the end of a quite wide bore tip.

Cost a couple of bucks for 24 sml pairs. Probably not the best but cheaper than spinfits etc.

Links don't work for me. So search out if interested.
