See my old thread, from which I got the BLON BL-03 to try: Old thread
Like my old Sennheiser IE80, I use them with the LG V35 as a sound source (it does have a DAC).
I got my BL-03 and now can't find them anymore. Not sure if someone at work keeps stealing headphones... Anyway. Looking for options to upgrade or side-grade?..
I had them for about three months now and by impressions are as follows, compared to Sennheiser IE80:
- precise, - but too precise, almost mechanical? At some points it felt slightly artificial. Especially guitars.
- somewhat lacking in warmth, fullness and sub bass, especially with favorite tracks like Leonard Cohen's newer stuff.
- soundstage: smallish, but ok.
- that *$&##"(")! cable! I've never had a cable that was specifically designed to tangle as much as possible.
I'm not complaining or anything, for the price they were a great purchase. Just wondering if I have better options for, I dunno, 60 instead of 30$.
Otherwise in the other thread the Sony EX800 was recommended.
