How is Blon bl03 compared with LZ A6mini with respect to SQ? I'm debating which one I should purchase. I mainly listen to classical music.

Now I’ve seen it all:

I bet the frequency response is terrible.

Might pair well with the Focal Utopia Tournaire though:

I almost bought a Ninetails today - it was at $85 on LuckLZ, and had a V90 in the cart, so could have gotten a $4 discount.

I already have the CNT-1, so Ninetails might only be a sidegrade. Maybe the money could be put towards the T800.

Do you think that the Ninetails beats the T800 in any categories? I could get a 9T or NiceHCK M6, but maybe it's smarter to just leapfrog them.

Ninetails and T800 are very very different comparisons - the usual adage of comparing single DD to multi BA monstrosities.
T800 will win in details, isolation, instrument separation, clarity, imaging.

I think the only areas Ninetails wins is:
1) Customizability of sound signature - 9 tuning filter configurations
2) Timbre/tonality - sounds more natural than the multi BAs in acoustic instruments
3) Soundstage just slightly wider than T800 in view of it's poorer isolation/open back design

Is there anything flat neutral ish under $70 that's worth taking a look at?

Asking for a friend...

Tin HIFI T2.
I'm not sure about the newer T4 that just came out (reviews seem to suggest it is neutral but slightly bright on the treble), though it is $79 USD.

Now I’ve seen it all:

This lives up to the name golden ears and silver ears. Do they claim to coat their dynamic driver diaphragm membranes with 24 carat gold/silver?

The diamond tweeter is supposed to be inside the shell

Since I'm new here I'm just buying **** Pro and Blon all with 16 core silver cable and extra MH755 for their tips, hope that's worth buying

All great stuff, in my opinion. Well, I haven't heard the **** Pro yet (should arrive in a few days), but I think the **** is really great and I hope they have improved the sound quality in the Pro. Otherwise what's the point? The **** is almost half the price.

I'm fairly sure the Pro will be great. The bass already looks more refined for my tastes. The one frequency response graph I saw, though, did have an odd spike around 10k, which is a little concerning, but I've learned you can't always trust graphs. Especially if it's just one graph. There's always the chance that the reading in the high end is unreliable. And sometimes earphones don't really sound the way their FR graphs would lead you to believe.

Anyway, I kind of went a little off topic there, but I do think you got some really great stuff.

I think I'm gonna' pick up the BQEYZ KB1 because it's the cheapest BQEYZ and I've been curious for a while now but I keep changing my mind on what else I might want to pick up. Half-tempted to just get the KB1 and the AK Audio gamble bag just to see what the heck I get, though with my luck it'd be two fixed-cable earbuds that I wouldn't be able to use comfortably... >->

Given what's in my signature, a *rough* price cap of ~20$, and a preference for signatures within shouting distance of neutral but interest in variety as long as it's reasonably cohesive, anyone want to try and argue me into buying something in particular? (Yes, I know, Blon; see the aforementioned price limitation and for single DD IEMs I've got my IE 40 Pro which I love.)

Watch out there are a lot of fakes about.

Faael Hibiscus arrived! "Transparent" color. O.o;


Sharing same driver diaphragm technology as Blon-03 and Tin HiFi T4. Edit: Sorry bad writing, not the same driver itself.
Blon-03 subtle v-like signature, with enjoyable bass and details. More Soundstage than Blon-03.

Only con, Voices may be shouty, or I am just sensitive to that. Need others to second this.



I would say the Faaeal Company's graph is pretty accurate and not romanticizing it.

I can't answer your question as regards the comparison, as I don't know the LZ A6mini, but I would say that the BLONs are pretty good for classical, which is what I mainly listen to as well. Everything has a nice natural sound, and I find myself getting very absorbed in the music and forgetting about the sound. Full orchestra can sound a little congested, and massed strings at full pelt sound maybe a touch shrill, but I've not heard any IEMs for which this isn't true yet. I could maybe do with a little more detail, and sense of space around the instruments, but all in all they're very impressive.
