I was listening to my UiiSii CM5 today, and marveling at their excellent sound for the $12-$20 they used to sell for.

Sure, they’re no Blon. But I think they still hold their own in the budget segment, especially with the resurgence/appreciation of dynamic-only IEMs in the last year or 2. CM5 uses a coaxial double dynamic graphene driver.

Anyone else still rocking their CM5?

A great soundstage track (club/bar sized venue):

Love the music recomendation! (Sorry for the offtopic!)

I still use mine when I need a mic. They are actually quite good as a headset for Zoom meetings. They have a very natural sound.

They use a high quality Knowles microphone

Would you consider the tuning of the C10 to be too safe?

Would you consider the tuning of the C10 to be too safe?

Well, individual protection needs vary widely

Let's see - hardly safe to protect from COVID, STDs...

If you mean treble - C10 are gentle, but still 4 BAs do something for resolution, so the answer is still "depends"

While tidying up my cupboards I came across a box that I hadn't even opened lol... the AUDIMI Alauda (I've looked and they're actually an old set called GGMM Alauda and known on Head-Fi). Can't believe I've never even tried them as they're really, really good. Remind me of the Beyerdynamic Byron sound-wise which is quite the compliment. I even hear a bit of Cambridge Audio SE1 in them as it's quite a grand, enveloping sound at times.

The CM5 are awesome. I remember first listening and found them too bright, but I must have been listening to something quite laid back before them as it actually gives them some nice bite which compliments the punchiness of the mid-bass. Good speed and attack, great for big classic rock tracks.

Agreed, they’re great for classic rock. Guitars sound especially good. The electric guitars on that test track I posted sound soooo thick and crunchy on the CM7. I was also jamming to some 70s funk today, and they sounded awesome with that as well.

I wish I had both but a few more pairs of them when they were so cheap on Amazon.

I know the shells were big for some people (they fit me great), so UiiSii came out then the smaller size of shell to assist with ergo fitment. That’s the 1st time I’ve ever seen a company do that. Sure, KZ had the ED7 bamboo and also the ED7 Mini, but the Mini wasn’t made to address fitment problems with people.

I went for the Tripowin.

I've got two of those stuck in the US, awaiting travel to my location.

The Tripowin is a really good quality cable. I'm sure you will enjoy them.

I concur, using that same cable on my BA10’s So I just got a loaner box (obviously to push me over the edge)! LOL Got the KXXs, Starfields, iT01, Diamonds and a Universal Eartech. Moondrops are nice, was expecting a little more from the iBasso but its OK and does have some bass but it’s the Diamond I’m most impressed with so far just rotating thru some different sources now.

BLON BL-03 vs. **** **** Pro

Please compare and contrast the SQ.

 

[JEHL]

Is it true new BL-03 flattened the bass response?

 

[baskingshark]

Is it true new BL-03 flattened the bass response?

The BL-05 u mean?

Yes it does look like bass quantity of the BL-05 is lesser compared to BL-03, based on the manufacturer's graphs (above), with perhaps a slight boost in upper mids for the BL-05.

But so far no one has received a final production BL-05 yet, so maybe wait for some reviews down the line.
