@Hawaiibadboy just received his TinHifi T4



OMG.. Really this mid 2019 is the best chifi season ever


*edit : they called TinHifi now instead of Tin Audio, forgot bout that

What's inside? 2xDD? 1DD+1BA?

just wanted to share my findings regarding blon 03.

key thing is the fit. I'm blessed that I have JVC Spiral Dots sized M/L and L in my stash.
M/L is the right fit for me but L is oversized . For Blon's case, I need to use size L and with this the isolation is top notch.
Those that mentioned that it doesn't isolate well hmm.. this might be secret that you may have missed or maybe this config just fits my ear canal.

I went through my ear tips stash . those from my chifis , double flanged and even foam tips. all nada.
oversized JVC Spiral Dots are stars aligned with the BLON.
I don't know about you but your comments are still pushing the stereotype that the Blon 03 don't fit well still.

Or, do you need the JVC's for isolation alone?

It sounds like they need to rework this iem to make it good for everyone, without the need for different eartips.

That faceplate on the tin hifi t4 looks like the turbines of airplanes, I wonder if they spin too :grin:

That would be impossible with any iem. Everyone has different ear anatomy.

If you are annoyed by having to try different tips maybe you should try earbuds..... but then you would still have to decide if a certain model is better with foams, no foams, double foams, donut foams, donut foams on top of regular foams....Plus the foams are available in different colors :)

...and then there are headphones with the endless talk of what pads are best.

This is Headfi.

A couple of days with BL03 in my ears, I find the seal that suits me most, and I start to really appreciate those ones.
I don't find them especially bassy by quantity but I love the sub-bass quality: it's not rumbling, it's not roaring, it's not boomy - it simply exists. You just feel an extension of the main bass into the depth and the presence of something there. Nice.
Perhaps if I need to find one single adjective to characterize the sound - I'll choose "coherent".

I think the Blon BL-03 are a mixed bag, but not worse than the EP10.
In any case, the short nozzle is a little problem in both. They seriously need MUCH tip rolling and you need many different types of tips in order to try everything and figure out one that suits well.

i might be the lucky small percentage that have no problem with fitting and the cable :ksc75smile:
i do however agree that using a spacer to make the eartips more forward makes the fitting better.

Only about a month away from 11/11. What is your shopping list? For me I am waiting for the updated tanchjim oxygen and the fearless audio sub 100 usd dd and hope they will be in time for the sale.
Otherwise the peacockaudio P1 is on my list.

yes I can't find any tips that fit me EXCEPT the JVC Spirals but everyone's ear is different.
A friend got it and he was able to fit with stocked tips.

the cables are functionally ok, I prefer those that are flexible ( not the stiff type ).
If you wanna upgrade, you should try SPC if you prefer more brightness else pure copper.

Peace!

Another update, my Tiger TRN cable came and combo-ed with the Blon.
I think it helped to improve the highs a tad ( which I like ) while maintaining the bass :)

Please share a photo of how they look together.
