I use mdr ex110 by the bed and i don't care if I damage the cable on them, they are cheap. They are smaller than the mh755, see pic attached

I know that I am rather late to the Blon BL-03 party, but darn these are seriously well-tuned. The overall balance and tonality/timbre are better than many $300/$400 IEMs, not kidding. It also scales rather well with better source/amp. Definitely a must-have.

I am getting a gift for primarily Death Metal, with a side of Synthwave. I don't know a lot about this topic but as I understand a fairly neutral like Tin2 would be great for Death Metal, however I need something with more bass or the Synthwave will sound thin.

The things that seem important based on the glossary: sub bass response, fast/snap/transient response, articulation, flat frequency and also maintaining clarity at higher volumes will be important, while isolation is not a specific concern.

Would BLON 03 be a good choice, or should I look at something else?
I play death metal loud through kz zsx and recommend them highly.

I found this guideray GR-I68 for $ 31 on aliexpress, is it possible that it is false? The normal price is $ 49

Looks like this store's ratings ain't too good, and they just recently opened in aug 2019. Looks like their shipping speed is quite slow based on reviews. But worth a try if u wanna save a few quid (though 11/11 is round the corner and who knows, it might be the same price then in other shops).

Aliexpress is generally quite safe, they keep the money in escrow until u confirmed u recieved a satisfactory product, then they release the money to the seller.
I've bought over 100 items from them and had 2 lemons, Aliexpress refunded me quite fast.
I don't think this shop is pedalling fake Guiderays, but I generally don't buy from new shops with few reviews or those with 95% and below rating.

If I have KZ ZSN pro and ZSX, should I get the Blon BL-03 or are they redundant?
ZSX vs BL-03.jpg
I have a comparison between the two in my ZSX review.
I think they're different enough that having both isn't redundant, but I'd recommend the TRN V90 over the ZSX.

Beautiful picture.

I agree with that. I am really enjoying the V90 especially for electronic and classical music.

I think of getting the TRN V90 on the 11.11. sale.
Is the V90 more v-shaped than the Semkarch CNT-1? Or what can I expect in terms of sound differences? I hear electronic stuff and some rock.

Also, how do you keep IEMs with metal housings apart when putting them in your pocket or case? My Semkarchs always collide and I don't think thats good :D
