it is a interesting earphone because it uses more conventional electret driver similar to the old designs of AKG hybrids like the K4, not the electret drivers from Sonion that are closed in like a regular balanced armature driver

Yes, it is certainly a interesting design, they almost stacked it like they do the coaxial dual dynamic drivers. HBB didn't mention in his unboxing but it looks like a very open design. If nothing else it should throw off a monster stage.

I'm just glad to hear it's not a total dumpster fire.

FYI, if you add 3 sets of kz starlines tips to your orders you can stack the $5 and $3 coupons through EE audio.

Don’t forget that you can get 30 Starlines (15 pairs in any size) for $0.99 on eBay

Unfortunately, the last time I checked with the seller (uliketf_3), they only had small and large size, and were out of the medium.

I noticed that too. I hope I have enough.

And here I am, a sucker who's been paying $0.80 per set of 3 on ali (SML). Too bad I have about 10 sets incoming from various Ali sellers. I only use the large ones so I'd be good forever...

I honestly thought that everyone knew. Probably was mostly mentioned in the KZ thread. Yeah a dollar for 15 pairs is great... and they really are the same.

Oh wow, that is unfortunate. I should be OK though. Luckily, I bought a few dollars worth when the seller link was 1st circulating.

I only wish that kind of deal was available for other tips too. $0.99 for 15 pairs shipped is ludicrous. I don’t even understand how $0.99 even covers shipping charges, much less the tips too!

I just ordered 30 pair of both small and large

Just posted this in the under $100 thread. But I am taken aback by how good these are. I am a bit late for the party but I got the Blon-03 a few days ago and paired it with an ISN Audio S16 cable and some large JVC silicons. It's scary. They are so far ahead of all my prevous IEMs and Buds, except one that I have, that it may stop me looking for earphone gold in the future. For about $30 they are insane.

I wish everyone would put a name with the photos. Half the time I don't know what is being talked about.

Is there a way to ‘like’ a post more than once

Nature Sound is gearing up for an NS-5 Mk II model. Revised housings look less invasive, more comfortable. 10 mm CNT DD, FR looks like it's somewhere between the Harman target and the Etymotic XR target. CSD looks somewhat clean, except for high frequency ringing that looks pretty reasonable.

I am curious...which is the one of your iems or buds that you still would put on the same level (or above) as your Blon?

For me, I found the TRN V90 to be a step above. I've since changed the cable on my Blon BL-03. Hopefully by the weekend I'll have a chance to revisit the two IEMs

Spoiler: Initial Blon BL-03 vs TRN V90

Sidenote:
I find it fascinating, as to what is revealed, when doing these A/B rounds. As in this case, (on their own) the Blons are a pleasurable option, with next to no fatigue. If the TRN V90 wasn't being burned in at the same time, I wouldn't have thought to do a head to head, where the V90s cast a light on the Blon's mid-bass bleed. Mind you, the mid-bass bleed (on the Bl-03) is not excessive, but it is there.

Interesting. There is a slight problem with the Blons...and it's something someone else mentioned to me too...it's the air that's pushed with the bass. It doesn't feel quite perfect. A bit hollow perhaps? Don't know if anybody else has found this?
I wouldn't call it a 'bleed' as such...as it doesn't affect the mids I don't think, possibly because the layering and stage is so good.
