and It's all your fault ....
25$ on ebay.... silver, no mic

But i have to say, those tips look awfully shallow. My ear holes are deep like the ocean.
I was trying to be poetic :wink: hehehe

Hope i like them... not going to see them until December 27th...

It's good for tonality and timbre but otherwise for technicalities (instrument separation, clarity, details), it loses to multi BA/hybrid sets and that's not the forte of the BLONs.
It is good for music that has lots of acoustic instruments and for slower genres. On faster genres with lots of complex instrumentations or competing instruments it occasionally gets muddy.

And the nozzles are too shallow for most westerners, most people don't get a good fit with it unless they use longer nozzle tips (eg spinfits, KZ starlines) or spacer mods.

Othewise I think its tuning is very good for < $30 USD, can compete with some $100 USD sets even. But the technicals hold it back from being a true giant killer. YMMV.

A few headfiers reported a successful fit on the BLON BL-03 with a spacer mod or some variant of the sort (pics included, credit to these folks), YMMV:

Most folks seem to have good fit with spinfits or KZ starlines if u ain't doing any spacer mods.

For the stock cable, it is quite stiff so the earhooks tend to yank the IEM out of the ears for some of us, but the stock tips are the one that almost all people have issues with for the BLON.

And the BLON does better with amping despite its specs. It is pretty power hungry and amping tightens the bass and increases dynamics/details.

You make a thread about everything. I'm not sure if we have a thread on how to brush your teeth but you should ask about that ASAP.

LOL you're funny, this is a forum. Aren't forums for asking questions? Also i need help brushing my teeth, how'd you know? :wink:

Yeah, Spinfit CP145 or KZ Starline have a long body shape, and work well. Another good option (what I'm currently using with the BL03) is Final Type E tips. I haven't found a need for the o-ring spacers but I do think that if you're going to keep the stock cable, it's best to remove the preformed earhooks if you have larger ears. The hooks on that cable will actually tend to pull the IEMs out of your ears, interfering with fit.

Yes this is a forum but there is already a BLON thread. What if everybody who bought the BL-03 made a specific thread about it, good or bad? Think about it...

And btw, you didn't ask any questions in the thread title or OP...

that’s because forums are also for sharing thoughts, experiences, And ideas, not ONLY for asking questions.
Even though asking questions is probably the primary purpose of forums. The idea of a forum is to share.
Do you know what it means to share? Sometimes you share ideas, thoughts, hopes, questions, excitement. Disappointment.
Everything and anything that has to do with said forums subject. This is an IEM sub forum. So talking about anything
that relates to IEMs is ok. Especially questions. But not ONLY questions.
So why don’t you Go *** yourself? Mmmmmkay?
