Swappable male ends just like on the newer version of the nine, that's cool! I wonder if all three types shown in the picture will come in one package, which would be a sweet deal. Nice looking shell shape too, but it's interesting that after the six and the six pro which have a metal build, these seem to be plastic...

Whaaaaaaat?! That looks like the same box as their three hundred (amazing set of IEMs) and the five hundred, which seem to be their premium models! I would have thought that package was reserved only for their TOTL stuff, but... wow, that's really really cool! If it really is the same size, it's gonna be quite the looker for storing a bunch of things in it! I haven't removed the foam inserts on mine though, haha! Thank you so much for sharing all this info!
The original was a bullet shape metal design meant to be worn cable down.
Maybe the "MAX" moniker applies, as for this new one, the shell for this one looks totally different in material, shape and size, probably the sound will be quite different from the original.
The original had pretty good soundstage for $14 USD (I bought 2), technical performance was decent but the timbral accuracy was quite bad for acoustic instruments. Sold them away as such. And the QC was also a bit dodgy, both my sets sounded different LOL.
Wait hold on, the driver configuration is "Planar Magnetic+AB" in the packaging? The AB is probably supposed to be BA (same mistake for my three hundred box), but the Planar Magnetic is probably supposed to be for their MT500 instead hahaha.
There's an MT600??? This keeps getting juicier and juicier!!! And the MT500 being $79 is a huge sale! Still very obscure though as far as I can tell - no reviews... but this sale is on Taobao I'm guessing?

Ohhhh nice, thank you! Shame about the less favourable feedback, from what you can tell based off it if possible, is the MT500/MT600 supposed to have a similar sound signature to the MT300 or do they veer off in a very different direction? I've don't own planar magnetic gear but I'm guessing for the MT500 the driver configuration means they're quite a power-hungry pair too?
That has been the case for every BLON since BL-03 (maybe the only other "good" BLON was the BL-05s but it had a dealbreaking hospital green shell).
Most of their recent releases are not talked about much, and have been meh at best eg BLON BL-01, Max, Mini, A8 Prometheus. They release stuff every few weeks and hope something finally sticks on the wall, but they are still trying to recapture lightning in a bottle from the legendary BL-03 after all this time.
For me, what killed the BL-03 was the mid treble peak, sure the bass needs work but it's pretty controlled for the quantity. And yeah, the new iterations don't seem to be doing much better. I'm very interested to see more graphs on upcoming single driver IEMs.

I never really warmed to the BL-03 myself. I found the bass woolly, the treble lacking detail and the fit...appalling. Could never get them to stay in my ears. The BL-05S is far better. Tighter bass, decent treble and superb staging. Very stable and comfortable fit. Stick a pair of Spiral Dots on and voila! I like the 50s retro colour as well!
There is also a new MT300 Pro. It looks different from the original with a honeycomb pattern and the unique locking MMCX cable has been replaced with a standard one. It has the same drivers though.
The MT300 was one of my best hi-fi purchases, especially seeing as I got it at half the usual price. It hits way, WAY above what I paid for it.
The detail and the clarity are outstanding. And the "size" of the sound sometimes rivals full-sized headphones.
