Completely depends on the music one listens to and personal preference. It's difficult if not impossible to have super heavy, and well defined and textured bass, imho. Also I doubt people who listen to classical are interested in "shaking windows"... Rather on getting the woody texture of a contrabass, which is something I can't hear on bass heavy iems.

Well with the KPE you get perfectly fine tips, and a fantastic cable that is worth 80$ sold separately. 30$ blon + 80$ cable + 10$ spinfits = 120$, it's not 160 usd more for the KPE strictly speaking.
Just putting things in perspective, but I think it's a good idea to tell newcomers to start with the blon tbh, going straight for a mid-tier if they don't even know if they prefer harman, u, v, DD, bas is not the best idea.

I would actually say that an adequate bass section is needed for classical music. When the music swells, it has to have a large enough space to be able to accomodate the the that. Something like a Tin2 will never swell properly. But, to your point, bass definition and good tonality are extremely important for acoustic instruments because long time listeners know exactly what the characteristics of these instruments are. The woodiness, the timbre, the attack. Rock music, electronic...not so much. These are all, sort of, manipulated sounds, in which if you were not there...you really don’t 100% know what it’s supposed to sound like.
Does anyone have any experience using the T800s with just a phone?

The blon is not even close to basshead territory. Even my kz zsx has more bass impact than the blon. My jvc fx1100 has more bass and sometimes too much bass than both blon and zsx. Is the blon neutral? Hell no, but I think it is pretty balance.
Yes sounds good on my s8+ and s10+
And id you want get a dac it will also sound great on es100 and powerdac 2

You can probably find the answer to your question on the BL01.
...Hope this works for you!

First me, now @1clearhead ... I think the BL01 hype train is coming.
KPE got discontinued. The cable isn't near close to $80usd (I remember it was about $18 on Penon last year). You need to put a spacer on nozzle otherwise the tip will slip very easily. If you live in a high-humidity area the shell oxidation looks horrible after a few months (pic). It's harder to get good synergy -- sometimes it sounds rather lean from weaker sources. So definitely it isn't an easy IEM to fall in love, it requires some "doing".
Also, you're solely using CP-145 eartips on BL-03. Blon reacts pretty well to tip-rolling, especially with Sony MH755 tips (my favs) and Spiral Dots (wider and flatter signature), it doesn't sound similar to Spinfits CP145 at all, so.. sotimes it's an acquired taste.

This FR graph is the most bizarre of the bunch.
