LuckLZ store on AE is apparently getting some for 11.11. What do you mean more condensed?

I meant to say narrower. I think you mentioned in the BLON thread that it's soundstage is narrower than the BL-03.
Interestingly I run some pink noise through the BL-03 overnight and it sounds much less bass boomy than it did the night before. It's not as tonal as I'd like but it's not as overwhelming as my first impressions led me to think. Definitely good enough to make me retire my daily driver IE80.

I'll keep an eye on AE then. Thanks.

Ah, I get you. Yeah the soundstage of the 01 is unusual. It's intimate - think small bar, not stadium - yet so well resolved. Things are easier to pinpoint than any other IEM I own.

@Cevisi
Get ePro Horn-shaped tips to collection, those are the best, or one of the best. :)

I like the Blon 01 but it's not a game changer in sound, only looks.

I cancelled my 03 purchase based on its sound quality even though it's not bad. But BQEYZ and Audiosense already make better iems. However, Blon's sound different and are a worthy purchase.

Can't seem to find them for sale anywhere. Also seems like the BL-01 is more condensed than the BL-03?
I wouldn't call it condensed, since it's true (at least to me) that depth on the BL01 doesn't go as deep as the BL03. But, the BL01 does present a wider soundstage with better instrument separation, though it doesn't have such a rounded soundstage like the BL03. That's what I Iike about both the BL01 and BL03. ...They play differently and adapt well with different genre's, not just one for all!

Given that it uses an identical shell and an inferior looking cable to the older NiceHCK EP10 I'd say it doesn't change the game in looks tbh.

Interesting that you don't consider the sound to be anything special. To me it has a far better sound than **** or MH755. It's good enough that of all the IEM I own I have spent more hours listening to the 01 than any other.

I'm also waiting for a response from another AE store in this matter. Will let you guys know as soon as I get a response.

I agree. Main issue is new people joining the thread and wading in with opinions that have already been discussed at length on these. Then it all kicks off again. Then it’s called a ‘hype train’ - when all it is really is a repetitive argument.
If it carries on I’ll unsubscribe as it really is tedious and doesn’t add anything new to the discussion. (Sorry...have a cold and feel grumpy!)

I might just have to buy a powerdac 2, etc. now.

This thread is dangerous

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend the V2 with IEM's. It's a very powerful device and would be overkill for 99% of the IEM's out there.

The latest "Pro" CHIFI IEM has come to town:
the **** Pro ---- 1DD + 2BA + 1 Piezo @ $29.90

Check out the Aliexpress site for it, as certain links/pics cannot be put up unfortunately.

Is the extra 1 BA worth double the price?
Is this the new hypetrain for this month?
Any brave headfiers wanna take one for the team and get one?
