Linsoul BLON BL03 in Ear Monitor, HiFi 10mm Carbon Diaphragm Dynamic Driver in-Ear Earphone IEM with 0.78mm 2pin Detachable Cable (Without Mic, Brown)

I am excanging this set for the second time love the sound of this for songs with deep sub bass this hits, if not that much bass is in a mix, it does not exagerate the lack of it,natural sounding. The mids are great, the treble is not harsh,or overly detailed but good enough, these will not kill you with dibilance. My problems, one the supplied eartips do not stay sealed in my ears. The you have to play with this set by pushing the earphones up,and in deep to seal them. You may have to readjust them will listening. Luckily I had a set lof shallow large bore tips. When I put those in it was fantastic. The wire is mildy annoying and may be my issue,or driver failure. This is the second set I have revieved after returning the first, the right driver started playing at a very low volume after 4 days of use. The second set lasted a week before the right driver did the same thing. Be wary of any sets dated 2014,both of mine are. My plans to keep exchanging sets till I get a solid one, and getting eartips,and a better cable. Thats how much I love the sound of this set. I would not use these for ,walking,running or lifting,those wires make the you lose your seal.I bought the KZ ZS 10 pro its a great beater set,its subbase is not as boosted as the Blon 03 but its there you will here everything ascross the audio spectrum. Its treble is hotter than the Blon but good, its wire looks like its from the Blon factory,same annoying time to untangle and make fit. However once set it tends to stay put, and the supplied ear tips are good. I love them both. KZ obviously has a QC department. I have to go tomorrow to the UPS drop off and send my second Blon 03 set back. Damn I must love its sound! I burned in both sets for two hours on 20 percent volume on my phone for an hour, then 50 percent for another hour then 15 min at 75 percent, then at 100 percent at 30 min. The device used was a Galaxy 8+ phone. These do need burn in,they sounded meh,right out the box, they radicially improved after burn in. I prefered these over all my IEM's and most of my headphones. The KZ only need 20 min of burn in but I notice no differeces,I put it at 50 percent after burnin I pushed it a 100 then at my normal volume. I will up date you on set three. I should have more tips to play with and wires on the way.

NOTE: When plugging in the IEMs to the cable, pay close attention to the tiny L for left and R for right. On the cable, they're pretty noticable, but on the BL03 itself, they blend into the matieral and are hard to see. (At least on the silver version) Plugging them into the wrong side makes them end up sounding horrible, so if you notice they sound bad, double check the markings and make sure to follow the manual. Best IEMs I've owned, hands down. For the value and sound quality, these are amazing. Although the eartips and cable aren't the best and could use replacing, overall the sound quality for the price is excellent. I would definitely recommend changing eartips since the ones that come with the BL03s are a bit bad. The cable is a bit flimsy, not too bad, but I would definitely recommend changing eartips if anything. They have excellent, warm bass, vocals are clear and easy to hear, and provide an overall enjoyable experience. I would recommend these IEMs hands down.

The BLON BL-03 came out of nowhere, and it's been at the top of *budget* recommendations lists. Is it worth its price? Is it a "Giant Slayer"? Lets find out. TL;DR - A "Harman-esque" Frequency Response, similar to the Tin T4, but with more bass. More soundstage than Tin T2. Average imaging. Solid build, but meh stock cable and fit is less than perfect. Definitely worth its price. If the T4 is too safe a tuning for you, this brings the low end without sounding off. Packaging, Accessories & Build - A rectangular box, with a clear window to see the headphones on the top half. Comes with the same broken english as in video reviews (Music & Driams). Comes with some silicone tips, and cable. Also, a small velour-style drawstring bag. It's a metal build. It's mirror polished and seems durable. No micro-scratches or anything as of yet. (A month of so of usage). The stock ear-tips were meh, and didn't offer a good fit. If treble is shrill and bass is lacking, it's most likely an issue of seal. Switch your eartips with some known-good tips, whatever your favorites are, and that should solve some problems. Personally, I hate the stock BLON-branded cable and absolutely recommend the replacement from HiFiHear, as it seems to be less prone to untwisting, has less wire memory, and doesn't feature a full nautalis on its earhooks. Sound - You're looking at a "Chop-Top Harman" response, as BGGAR put it. There's a lot of bass impact, but it's not overwhelming. Midrange sounds normal, slight pinna gain, as per usual, but it doesn't have as much of a boost as a pure-Harman FR. Treble is not as energetic as a pure-Harman either. But you still get decent detail retrieval. The Carbon Nanotube Dynamic Driver has a similar issue to the DD in the MH755, in that it doesn't sound completely natural with things like cymbals, but it still sounds quite good to my ears. It's not a technical definition of flat, but it's a bit more of a fun signature than the Tin T4. Conclusions - Ever since using the DSP-corrected iSine LX, I've found that the Harman curve works well for me. The DF-target used by Etymotic and the Massdrop Plus also work well for me. Both give me a hint of soundstage, and decent imaging. Though, the closest my ears has ever come to the "Room with Speakers" ideal, was the iSine LX, the BLON BL-03 is still a darn good IEM. It offers actual outside-your-head soundstage, decent detail retrieval, and a very pleasant sound. While the BL-03 isn't going to replace my MD+, let alone my Andromeda, I do appreciate the added bass over the Tin T4, and I have alternated between the T4, and Sony MH755 as my "beater" IEMs. Honestly, I'll probably keep all three of them since none of them absolutely breaks the bank. While the BL-03 isn't a giant-killer, it's still an entirely competent and fun sounding IEM. If it wasn't for the lackluster cable, somewhat-strange fit, and crap eartips, it would be a definite recommendation over things like the Tin T2, and Moondrop offerings around the same price. In fact, the fit and cable are the only reasons these don't get 5 full stars. Don't get me wrong though, you could spend a lot more for much worse earphones. NOTE: I use the HiFiHear cable, and some Dekoni Bulletz tips on mine. I tried them with Spiral Dot tips, Final Type-E tips, and Mee Audio single flange tips. Out of all of them, the Bulletz are my preferred tips, especially since Dekoni appears to be using a new formula and/or mold as of December 2019. **Disclaimer - Perception of sound and comfort is subjective and my statements above regarding them should be taken as opinion and NOT objective fact. My review shouldn't be a substitute for ears-on time with a product. My ears are not a universal measurement rig, I am human, and I make mistakes. I purchased several pairs of these for Christmas gifts after falling in love with my original pair. No one has paid for, or otherwise attempted to influence the content of this review.

The BLON 03 has been my daily driver IEM for may years. I've owned two sets since it's inception. The 03 is known for it's warm signature and well implemented bass. The cable and eartips it comes with are rubbish. Many recommend using foam eartips with the BLON as that is the safest bet for a good seal. I have big ear holes, the Spin-fit CP100 XL work better than foam for me. The shorter nozzle does make the fit and seal difficult for many and foam tips seems to be the problem solver. The sound signature is warm and relaxed and in my opinion works well for most music genres. The highs never scream and the mids never shout. The 03 is a legend amongst audio enthusiasts for a good reason, once you get them fitting right they sing and make you feel things.

Los auriculares tienen un gran sonido, pero para conseguirlo debes de probar con las puntas que mejor se ajusten a tu canal auditivo, para saber si las puntas son las correctas al estar probando lo que hago es presionar los audífonos con los dedos, si el sonido cambia y se escucha mejor es que las puntas no son las adecuada. Llevo poco tiempo de escucha y entiendo que con el uso el sonido puede cambiar y mejorar debido al proceso de quemado del driver. Lo que si cambie fue el cable por uno de mas hilos y la verdad es que el sonido mejoro muchísimo en todas las frecuencias, son unos excelentes audífonos. Me permitieron notar que mi DAC mete un ruido al sonido del teléfono algo que no había notado con otros audífonos, más caros y de marcas con cierto prestigio y difusión, al usarlos en una placa Asus se escuchan increíbles, son muy buenos no solo para cualquier tipo de música, también para cine y videojuegos. Pero considera también gastar en un cable de mejor calidad. En cuanto al audífono en si y el precio tan económico se merece 5 estrellas.

Sound is really good with fiio m11 was not disappointed as I've never used iem's before got them arfter listening too a review from z-reviews on utube I thought well give them a go wanted somthing more portable I got the better cable still wating for better ear tips mem foam all I can say is I won't be sending them back

Überarbeitet: Neuer Austauschkopfhörer hat keine Abweichung mehr zwischen rechtem und linkem Kanal. Ich korrigiere auf fünf (5)*****Sterne. Nach wochenlangem Hören ist die Kombi aus Blon BL-03, Fiio BTR 5 und symmetrischem Kabel TRIPOWIN C8 meine ToGo Lieblingskombi geworden. Man kann jede Musik mit ihm hören und es ist niemals anstrengend oder schrill oder Bassarm. Außerdem wäre bei dem Preis der Verlust oder ein Schaden mehr als verkraftbar. Die Qualität der Audio-Reproduktion hat in dieser Kombination und zu dem Preis ein unerhörtes Level erreicht. Erstaunlich in 2019/2020. Original-Beschreibung: Ich überarbeite die Rezension und vergebe mehr Sterne, wenn die Nachlieferung besser ist, als dieses Modell. Erst mal ***Sterne. Pro: Tonal sind die BLON jeden Cent wert! Absolut nichts für Neutralhörer, die einen Etymotic Frequenzgang erwarten, oder besser gesagt, einen aalglatten Frequenzgang, denn das ist hier bewußt nicht verwirklicht worden! Angelehnt an die "Harman" Kurve – eine Art des "Soundings" bzw. "Frequenz Response correcting"– bei der die Frequenz des InEar Kopfhörers an die Freifeldentzerrung eines gedachten optimalen Lautsprechers statistisch subjektiv angeglichen wird und somit ein psychoakustisches Ideal versucht wird, zu erreichen, spielt dieser Kopfhörer auf gehobenem Niveau und ist mit nur einigen wenigen IEMs sehr nahe an dieser Kurve dran. Mit einem extra Ober-Bass-Schub, der gefallen muss oder man sich daran gewöhnt oder man benutzt einen EQ. Diese Bassanhebung ist nicht klein, sondern kann schonmal das ein oder andere Stück ANFANGS "versauen". Nach der Adaption des Gehirns an diese Art der Entzerrung klingen dann die damit lieb gewonnenen Stücke auf neutralen Kopfhörern falsch und man wundert sich, warum da jetzt was fehlt. Das gleiche passiert aber auch in die andere Richtung. Es ist in etwa vergleichbar mit dem Hören einer normalen für Lautsprecher entzerrten Aufnahme versus einer binauralen Aufnahme für InEar Kopfhörer - bei der die Aufnahmemikrofone im Gehörgang eines Kunstkopfes stecken und so die Schallanteile am simulierten Ohr gebrochen und somit anders "entzerrt" werden, beispielsweise von Chesky Records. Nicht nur verändert sich der räumliche Eindruck beim Hören, sondern auch der Eindruck, wie realistisch Instrumente tonal wiedergegeben werden. Beides hat seinen Reiz und je nach Aufnahme eines Stückes verändert sich das. Die meisten Stücke profitieren von der Darstellung der BLON und man hört sich auf den Sound ein und dann freut man sich über den Bass, sowie die Präsenz aller anderen Anteile der Musik. Es ist im Gegensatz zu ansatzweise neutral aufspielenden InEars, wie dem CA Andromeda, eine komplett andere Art des Hörens, die eine gänzlich andere Perspektive einer Bühne darstellt. Weniger groß, dafür tief und völlig entspannt. Neutral: Die Tonalität vor allem im wichtigen Mittenspektrum ist allein betrachtet sehr angenehm, etwas zurückgenommen. Beim Vergleich mit tonal neutralen Kopfhörern fällt sofort ein etwas nasaler / blecherner / metallischer Charakter auf, der beim Nichtvergleich, also dem normalen Musikhören, nicht hörbar ist. Das ist normal und entspricht dem Rumspielen mit einem Equalizer, bei dem man den oberen Mittenbereich etwas anhebt: Man empfindet es als klanglich besser – deswegen macht man es ja – aber im direkten Vergleich zur neutralen Referenz, hört man die Differenz und die klingt etwas metallisch. Kontra: Leider ist mein Kopfhörerpaar komplett außerhalb von Gut und Böse, was das Matching betrifft: Ich betreibe den Kopfhörer an einem Fiio Btr5 und dessen Balanceregler muss auf Stufe 4 von 11 nach rechts verschoben werden, damit ein Monosignal mittig herauskommt. Wenn man diese Korrektur nicht vornimmt, kommen alle Stimmen von links und die meiste Energie eines Konzerts, auch, und alles, was nur knapp rechts sein sollte, kommt aus der Mitte. Das Vergnügen ist damit leider dahin. Ich habe mehrere Referenzen im IEM Bereich, deutsch, amerikanisch und chinesisch, und kein Kopfhörer hat überhaupt eine hörbare Abweichung. Kabel R+L vertauscht sowie anderes Kabel ergaben leider keine Besserung. Ich warte auf Nachlieferung und dann wird neu bewertet.

Great iem's. Very well made, however cord is a little flimsy. Very nice midrange, lower notes are there but a little recessed. Upper range clean and not too bright, no sibilance. Match up these with proper fitting tips and a better quality cord and you're on a winner for the price!
