when i got home i saw my blox bi3 for the first time, and my sister is using it and said to me how ugly the sound was, she said that the volume is too low straight from her cellphone. i tried it with my c30 and heard that the volume is indeed low, but i can get a decent volume at around 80-85% of my max volume.( my normal listening level was 50-60%).
first impression about it is its tiny size, and the memory wire which reminded me of my very first high end iem, the triplefi, and which i really hated but the bi3 is more tolerable because of its tiny size. i wonder where we could get a replacement cable for them.
about the sound, i only listened to it for a brief moment and what i immediately noticed is the edginess of the higher mids. the soundstage and separation i think is decent, but i never really listened to it that long because i think my blox is defective. my right ear can get a good seal like that of the triplefi and when you push it into your ear you can feel a pressure, but my left ear cannot get that seal no matter what i do, the seal is like that of the gr07 that just sit there in your ears but does not really seal and i can push it into my ear without feeling any pressure. i tried using the right earpiece into my left ear and the left earpiece into my right ear and now the left ear can get a seal and my right ear cannot so i figured it must be the earphones.
now i don't know what to do since i have never sent anything abroad and i will have to wait for a very long time again if i sent them for warranty, i'm very disappointed with them and i don't know what i will do with them
. the only thing that's consoling me right now is the jvc s500 that's already on its way.
