I also love my Shozy BK although they come with 3.5 jack only. For me, its a perfect all rounder earbuds, balance tune through all the frequency and deserve their TOTL ranks before.

Will do some mini@micro review and comparison later with both my PK Blurs and Shozy BK 😉
I am deeply interested too! still also deciding which model/s would complement the neutral tuning of the 266 mx aPs retune.

PS: still also waiting for @ian91 's comparison of the 189 hybrid with other models :gs1000smile:

I'm having second thoughts with the PK32 since it may have too much bass which may compromise transparency and might make the overall sound "muddy" compared to the MX64 or the Wraith. Not that I mean real muddy but maybe less resolved or too dark compared to the other 2. I'm not good with words. Based on your review of the Wraith, I'm guessing it will have the better signature. Wong, however, is suggesting the PK32 than the Wraith if I want bass. It's just that bass is not the only part that matters to me. The fact that I like the MX64 tuning means that I can live with a slightly bright signature but still I need that bass oomph to come out when needed. Although the likes of @Ronion have heard the PK32, not sure if he has heard the Wraith. Someone who has heard both and can share his impression will be appreciated and might make me change my decision (I guess). ☺️
The PK32 line is far from muddy. They work great for films and TV shows.

I only can compare my 189 with 266, more blur models incoming next week (OFC mx64 special tunning edition, Blur OFC pk150 wraith).
189 has better soundstage and layering, but 266 has better bass.
All depends on your tastes

After 3 days, mainly of brainburn, I have to admit these Blurs are taken me by surprise.
Even without burnin I have to admit I´m fall in love with its soundstage and specially , my beloved midrange.
Let´s the music shines.
Thanks Wong for making these awsome and afordable earbuds.

Blurs as a rule are vocal and instrumental heaven in my opinion!

Your 189 MX64 is a really good example of sweet male and female vocals and well tempered detail thats not too bright. I was especially impressed with the treble on it. Exceptional detail and it always remains natural and not strident.

Have you tried high gain on shanling m8? I find it compliments it really well.

Yes but I think L&P W2 combo has better sinergies than M8

L&P W2 conected to my Pc has enough power for the 189 mx64 (about 70/100 volume high gain).

I think, some times M8 gives too warmth to some iems/earbuds and 189 is one when I rather like less warm signature.

By the way, sure you are using your c9. I´m waiting a XI Audio Broadway, I hope this increase even more the soundstage.

Tonights music: Estonian choral courtesy of Cyrillus Kreek and Jaan-Eik Tulve.

Shanling M8 (low gain, LO mode) > Cayin C9 (low gain, Class A, Tube mode, SE) > Blur 189 Hybrid MX64 aPs



Truly the some of the sweetest vocals I've heard since I entered this hobby. Outside the ear in their placement and perfectly tempered, no aberrant peaks that catch you off-guard...it's just lovely and smooth.

Listening to the Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld album with the Blurs. Classic ambient album, with some sneaky sub bass and chopped up voice samples scattered throughout.

Great choice. I've been meaning to put The Orb through my Blur, I'll do so tonight. I saw them play in Dublin in 1994, still remains one of my most memorable nights, what I can remember of it 😜

Arrived at last !!!

Blur PK32 NewLine 2.5
Blur PK150 Wraith 4.4

Both come with 266 cable combination
Also included a "little surprise" 😉

I've always wondered, how exactly does one get a free gift (blur vido?) from Wong? I've seen some people get their first Blur and received one but have also seen some recent people getting first multiple pairs ($$$$) who didn't receive one.

Glastonbury 93 was my first encounter. Still have all my vinyl from this era, which contains a big Orb selection. Really need to dig this out of the storage. They never get old!
