Yeah as @BadReligionPunk said taobao and ebay still have cheap sets (aliexpress is totally sold out and it's no more in production, i have asked most of the prominent audio shops on AE).
Semkarch is good, i just got my set this week, but it is not basshead in quantity of bass. (Maybe with EQ it can be basshead but even with black filters it is maybe two levels away from jaw rattling bass).
Actually do u wanna a listen to iems that I have ordered? I won't have time for them and I would be back in sg for a night on the 26 of Oct. U can listen to everything I have just bought. And return them when I m back in Nov haha.

My Semkarch CNT-1 just arrived. It has Chinese/English instructions, and recommends a burn-in period with white noise of 24 hours, and then pink noise for 10 hours. It says that the standard burn-in time is 100-200 hours.
I'm going to see if I can put it on white noise until I get up in the morning.

Switched to a TRN 16 core cable, as I believe the stock cable was giving me trace amounts of static, when I upped the volume.
How do you keep it to not rotate? Have the same cable, but the rotation around the mmcx connector is really annoying...

I've never seen specific burn in instructions like that.... Crazy. Especially if they present it like it's anything other than a suggestion.... Because whatever man!My Semkarch CNT-1 just arrived.

By the time the 200 hours of burn in is completed, the next budget hypetrain CHIFI would have arrived LOL.
BTW, I'm a believer in burn in for DDs, but the CNT1 sounded very good to me out of the box.

Woooah, hold ya horses, Jurgen. The M6 lacks bass kick? Really? Try 'Novocaine' or 'Tundra' by Amber Rubarth...kicks like a mule (or am I mixing my quadrupeds!)
The Blon BL-03 is a .78 mm, 2 pin connection; so it can't rotate.How do you keep it to not rotate? Have the same cable, but the rotation around the mmcx connector is really annoying...
For MMCX connections you can look at it's unhindered ability to rotate as either an annoyance or a good thing, where it's a good thing (for me) is with preformed, over ear hooks. Sometimes with a 2 pin connection, the curvature of the wire will stick out from my ear. Which will lead to the wire slipping off of my ear; I've never had this issue with an MMCX.

Yes, I meant that I have the same cable as MMCX variant. However, some of my MMCX cables rotate, but are kinda stiff, which still can be controlled. With this one, it's very easily rotated on it's own.
Is there any aftermarket cable that will fit flush like the stock one on the BL-03 does? KZ has at least 3 2 pin cable variants. A type seems to be the typical 2 pin used on most "older" earphones, it looks like it will fit on top of the Blon's proturding socket. C Type is used on newer earphones and it seems it wouldn't fit BL-03 at all. That leaves B type connector, has anyone tried them on the Blon??
Not yet. When I swapped out the stock cable for an aftermarket, I wasn't fond of the look, on the Blon BL-03. Below is a link to my 1st attempt at using some heat shrink tubing, to give the aftermarket cable a bit more of a factory look.Is there any aftermarket cable that will fit flush like the stock one on the BL-03 does?
