JEHL
1000+ Head-Fier
Could swear I saw V1 and V2 of the BL-03 although for all I know V2 is simply included better stock eartips and nothing else.
While on that subject. I remember Crinacle praising the tuning and the timbre calling both pleasing yet safe but also mentioning that it lacked in technicality, although he does mention to him it sounded quite easily overwhelmed but never outright muddy. Wonder how many people who own the BL-03 agree with him on this. According to how he measures it, there's VERY LITTLE roll off in the subbass compared to midbass if at all, which doesn't seem to match what a lot of people say about it. Also to him anyway it seems the only real threat to the BL-03 are the C10, citing that again much more pleasing tuning than the typical KZ tuning making it his favorite KZ so far. I guess this effectively means with the help of 4 extra BAs the C10 is trading timbre for detailing, which makes me wonder if this makes the C10 a more do it all purpose since I assume there are more songs that benefit from better detailing than songs that benefit from better timbre. He doesn't appear to own the DM-480, the TFZ T2 galaxy, nor the ZSX which is kind of a bummer to me (although to be honest I'm pushing my budget a bit too far in these cases). As you can tell I love reading his site mostly because he as a list with an overall ranking in overall sound quality, bang for the buck, tonality grade, technical grade and a short summary that explains his grading so is like rapid fire reading mini reviews of sort. I really wish more head-fiers did this.
I also find hilarious that Riccardo Robecchi gives the BL-03 a 9.8/10 while he mentions cons such as atrocious fit. Unlike crinacle he kinda praises the detailing although like Crinacle he does point out that it is nothing to write home about compared to budget multi driver options out there. With those cons seems like 9.8 is far to high of a score, but hey I can't tell him what to do.
In the end, it's kind of a shame I live in a place where is virtually impossible to try something before I buy, I mean I can but it'll be mostly sony and apple stuff, and only the headphones. Almost everything sound related seems to be subjective, the community can help guiding me... but it's a leap of faith in the end. Isn't it?
As for the BL-05 FR, Kinda wish it had the 05 bass and 03 upper mids or vice versa. Not exactly digging 2k being stronger than the bass.
