I've just publish my Blon Z300 review.....I was too curious to try them and tbh, tonaly wise it's quite well balanced and musical, but quite (too much?) different than BL03...

Pros:
-well balanced bassy L shape tonality
-warm, smooth and laid back musicality
-beautiful sub bass with dense rumble
-well layered and extracted bass line
-warm and thick mids with good note weight
-beautifull female vocal with wide presence, dense and smooth timbre
-safe tuning with no sibilance, splashyness or harshness
-dark but not dull sounding
-wide and tall soundstage enough
-good for jazz, soul, pop, R&B, rap and any slow music
-nice construction and cable
-good sound value

Cons:
-a bit hazy in resolution
-lack of mid bass thumpy punch (ultra dark kick drum)
-poor imaging
-cloudy definition
-half cooked treble that will not fully extract sound info
-safe tuning might be boring for some
-not good for metal or fast rock and complex music
-not a BL03 upgrade

I don’t get the hate Crinacle get for his tuning, especially this IEM. The Harman target and Moondrop VDSF target are the shouty, thin ones. Crinacle’s target is always less shouty and easier on the ears, yet sounding correct.
I don’t believe it’s a hit specifically at Crinacle, per se; it’s more about the timing. IMO, IEMs have blown up over the last few years and as the market reaches an over saturation of: reviewers, over hyping, re-tunings, collabs, several new offerings each week, . . ., we are starting to see the declining side of the bell curve.

Do these have the typical kz screen/mesh on the nozzle?
These have a white mesh on top which seems different than the one on CCA CRA, but again - I am not well versed in the KZ models in the past 2 years so no idea if this is similar to the rest.

Exactly this, if every week a new sub 70$ IEM launches that gets hyped by every youtube reviewer, an annoying pattern was created.

'll be more concerned about why it was so difficult to get a good seal with my right ears. These IEMs sound very good for the price, but I'm skeptical to recommend other people, especially if they cannot try. Interested to hear if other FD11 users have the same problem.
I have been having problems similar to you, tried around 10-15 different tips. Only on 3 I get a good seal but not the most secure, I had exactly the same problem with my BC 2023. I believe there is a good mix of the shell, nozzle angle and length giving me problems. If the seal is not 100% almost all the bass is lost, only my right ear is the problem.

I always use L and a few times if the nozzle is perfect I can use medium in a few tips.

What has worked for me the best here is JVC Spiral Dot, its soft and large and have enough stickiness to not slip out. What actually was Moondrop Springtips, but its not as full sounding as the other two due to thin walls. Kbear 07 in Large, but its more slippery in the texture and I have to readjust after some time.

Some of my usual fix bad sealtips didnt work : Double Flange, DUNU S&S, Azla Xelastec, Spinfit CP100/360

But when seal is perfect, the sound is excellent. So I agree its kind of hard to recommend due to fitment, but again this is very personal.
