Great review! I though I was going crazy thinking these earbuds were way too piercing in the high ends and had little bass. I changed the earbuds to the smallest size and they sounded much better with no more piercing high ends and great bass. Gonna try the RHA ear tips soon. Thanks!
Excellent review. Perferct description of sound, just my thoughts on these. Thanks for recommending silicon tips, as I use foam ones and I'd like some more clarity and less bass from these. Keep it it my man.
Like the review, more easy and Les hype as the main streamer dudes. But with a clear and good description of the bl-03 They are my prefferd for a lot of kinds of music, but on lower end sources ( phone fiio m5 dap ) they will struggle with some more complicated kinds of music. They will start to loose detail in base and really in mids. Adding a stronger amp will give the bl-03 more detail and seperation and you will be disappointed when using on your phone again.
Bought them for 10$ and using the t2 foam tips. So good. For those who wondering, I bought the t4 for 80$ and got a 20$ coupon and it was 30$ during the singles day sale.

Order on 11/11 , when arrived i straight change the cable to trn t2 16 core n the tips im using spinfit cp100 , it really improve everything rather than stock
@@giladkingsley I didn't see any reason to change the cable other then if you want a better feeling cable and one that doesn't twist and tangle as easily. As for tips, I did change to RHA dual density tips and found that they fit better and offered slight improvement in sound, maybe a slight improvement in soundstage and treble control but thankfully they didn't make it sound worse.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Just an update: they're really good and I'm happy. I'm new to headphones, I had the KZ ZS10s before and thought they were really good. But WOW. The BL03s are really heavy and sturdy, much smaller and more comfortable to wear. Even though everyone was complaining about the tips and the cable, I'm pretty content. The cable feels really soft, I like it. The tips are okay. Thanks again! :)
I am glad you enjoy the Blon BL-03. I have a lot of reviews in this playlist. Depending on your budget, there are all sorts of chifi suggestions. ruclips.net/p/PLFpndZVz25TJmT7L_seQCMS2USQj5BNSi I have a few more reviews upcoming that may interest you so stay tuned to the channel.
Mine will be here in a couple of days with a nicehck c16 3 16 core copper cable, I'm looking forward to trying them out, my zsn pros are killing my ears without a ton of eq around the 1k - 4k range, I don't think putting the ba driver in the ear canal was a good idea lol, have the cca csn on the way as well.
@@TheHonestAudiophile absolutely, I thought I'd give the cca csn a try as well as they are so cheap, the ba driver is in the housing instead of the ear tube, so hopefully be a more relaxed 1ba 1dd.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Well after having a good listen back and forth between the zsn pro and the blon 03's, can hands down say that I prefer the zsn's, I can see why people do like them as they do have a laid back warmer sound, but dynamics and separation the zsn's are on a different level, with 2.4k and 4.8k reduced by about 2.5db they are spot on for me, I suppose it goes to show how sound is really a personal preference, still got the cca csn to try though 👍.
@@Sheisintomalakasdino Well that's a big bummer. Couldn't locate on Amazon. Found this on eBay rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283375909334
@midnightsparkles3772 A few options for you to consider . Headphones: Rode NTH-100, HarmonicDyne Athena, Aune AR5000 IEM: 7hz Timeless, iKKo OH10s, Tin Hifi P1 Max, Moondrop Kato Keep in mind, the planar IEM and the over ear headphones will sound best with a more powerful source not just a simple USB dongle or phone 3.5mm jack.
They hold up suprisingly well even now, just hard to reccomend if you don't have a bunch of tips and wires lying around. With the stock tips they do not sound good, it was like i was listening to a different set when i found the right pair.
I think the Blon BL-03 is a solid starter IEM but not the best under $100 as there are a lot of good options out there. I recommend the following under $100: Moondrop SSR Tin Hifi T2 Tin Hifi T3 Jade Audio EA1
Hi David, awesome review. Old but gold! You've mentioned in the comm there are better options nowadays. What you recommend in this price range for critical listening and monitor live mixing? Already own EW200 and Wan'er. Cheers!
You give the best reviews, great channel 👍 Just wondering can I make the BL03 balanced and work on an IFI ZEN dac? Do you know what wires would I need for that?
You would need a 2 pin cable that terminates into a 4.4mm. I didn't try the Blon as balanced but it should sound great on the Zen DAC. Or you can get a 4.4mm to 2.5mm adapter and a 2pin cable to 2.5mm. Thank you for the kind and supportive words, very much appreciated.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks man. Would this wire be compatible and run them balanced? www.amazon.co.uk/Balanced-Replacement-Earphone-Upgraded-Extension-2-PIN/dp/B07X4VW286/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1TSGM6XL536HE&keywords=2%2Bpin%2Bcable%2Bearphone&qid=1578254765&sprefix=2%2Bpin%2Bcable%2B%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-4&th=1 Cheers.
Unfortunately there seems to be 3 versions that grey, a black one and the og potato sack, and the first 2 don't sound as good as the og. That's what i heard
@@javiergc7654 Hi, I would like to know which one's the og potato sack? Is it the white one with the circle and BLON written inside the circle or that's a newer one? Just got my gun metal pair btw. :)
Hello dave! I would just like to say, great reviews! Anyway, I'm having trouble in choosing between the blon BLO3 and the cca c12. I'm gonna mainly use them for music production. I wonder what's your opinion about this. Or do you have a better iem to recommend? I would gladly appreciate your help! Thank youuu!
I am planning on buying those this month, i have a few questions if i may, 1. Would my LG V30 be able to drive these buds properly? 2. What's the difference between blon 03 and blon bl 03, are they same of just different model numbers? 3. Between these as KZ ZS10 pro, which one would you recommend?
I would think the LG V30 would easily push them. I use a Note10+ with a Razer usb-c dongle and it sounds great. The difference in Blon 03 and Blon BL-03 is just a typo. I haven't heard the KZ XS10 Pro just the ZSN Pro and the Blon beats them easily.
Glad I found your channel. Almost bought the CCA C12 but I will now purchase these. My main gripe with the CCAs (I got the CA4) was that they lacked soundstage and depth and your video on the C12 is consistent with my experience with the CA4. It appears that you’re happy with the soundstage and depth on these, and I’m certain they will be good enough to my ears. I’m sure the fact that they are 32ohm helps in that department. I will also look into the RHA silicon tips. Thanks for the video!
@@TheHonestAudiophile just got them. I didn’t find the bass to be overbearing, but I’m also using the biggest set of stock tips. They sound great! Very musical and brought back the soundstage and a little bit of the depth I was looking for. I think I’m going to keep these at home for enjoying music, and use the CCA CA4s for work. Thank you for the video! It was really helpful and I’m glad I bought these instead of the C12s.
Good morning sir I have bought blon 03 as my first iem they were amazing in every thing sadly i lost it today 😢 So i want to buy a new iem But i think i want more bass so sir what's your recommendation for more bass with a sound quality of blon , or i just rebuy them again am confused ?
Sorry to hear that. I'd recommend you buy another BL03. The Tin Hifi T3 Plus has similar bass but the mids are more forward. The TFZ No.3 has more bass but has less treble extension.
@@TheHonestAudiophile sir if Tinhifi T2 vs T2 plus and Blon bl03 is available which one shall I pick. If possible please give me a order with 1 being the most preferred and 3 as the least prefered👍☺️
Sir is it necessary to use blon bl03 with dac? Do dac improve the audio a lot? Or u use them to only amplify? I am confused because they give enough loudness for me by directly connecting to mobile.
Blon BL03 are very easy to drive and do not improve much/if at all sonically with a DAC and amplifier. You might hear a difference or you might now. If you are happy with how they sound then enjoy it as is unless you want to experiment.
just tried my pair for the first time and wow do they sound good! i usually listen to my music through high-end hifi speakers that cost wayyyy more than the blons and i have no complaints (the speakers sound better of course, but those are a completely different animal to iems). great review dave!
If Dave hype an audio gear up, ya know it's really good!😆 I'm considering between these, and the BL 05 right now. But, I'm afraid that these would have a too overpowering bass response 🤔
@@TheHonestAudiophile I think they'd be worth it, and I'd certainly enjoy hearing your reaction to them. They are just a little bright, but nothing offensive. Actually, they are surprisingly balanced, resolving, and coherent for an all-BA earphone at their price. But I would respect your opinion if you disagree!
Welcome 🥰 Streaming service I use is Tidal. My reference DAC is the Mytek Liberty DAC. Link to RHA dual density tips: www.rha-audio.com/us/headphones/accessories/ear-tips/dual-density
Hi there, using these and a pair of 45ohm etymotics with an Iphone SE + Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Should the source be enough to drive them and get great sound or should I look for another source like the much praised quad dac LG V series phones or Fiio audio player?
I am sorry I have no experience with Apple products. The Blon are easy to drive and should be able to be driven with just about any portable device. I use dongles, xDuoo Link and Nextdrive Spectra X, because my Samsung Note 10 Plus doesn't have a headphone jack. I recommend the Sony NW-A105 WALKMAN for a DAP, have no experience with any Fiio DAP.
Hello..loking for blon 03...is Headphone Zone X Tangzu wanersg better than blon03??.. difference??..i need a quality pair..decent bass with special sound...
Good morning, at least here😆, I was looking at the JVC spiral dots and they have MS, M, ML size and I don't know which to choose if I use M normally but here the ML looks maybe ideal, do you have some experience...👍✌️
Great review. I love my Blon-03's. Had Tin T3 and T2 (not pro) and returned them. I did get a different cable only because the original one was always getting tangled. I also have the KZ ZS10 pro which I like but the think the Blon's are a tad better. Both are amazing for the $$$$.
Hello sir i knew this video 2yrs ago, im going to have my first iems, should I get this one, or Aria, my preference bass and clarity high hats, vocals etc, thank you
I have experienced the same as you, with foam its muffled, with stock silicon its shouty, but i got some silicones from amazon and it sounds amazing! I get a feeling like the mids are amazing and its very pleasant to listen to vocals and details. Do you have a recommendation for a very intimate IEM?
I haven't done the review yet but it will coming in a few weeks, the Etymotic ER2XR is an intimate sound with excellent separation and isolation of instruments and forward mids.
Haven't heard the FA1. The FH1s has more linear bass and better extension in the treble and has better resolution throughout. The FH1S sounds leaner but more detailed.
Great Review again! I got them and it,s absolutely true. You have to find the right tips. With my foam tips (inairs) they are too far on the Bass side. I like them even more with one of the Stock tips which are not good either. Maybe I will search and try but damn I got so many tips, that could be Hard work. I absolutely agree with your P1 review too. I think at the Moment you are the Best Reviewer for Headphones and IEM,s. I think i will just order the RHA tips but do you know if there is an Difference between the clear and the blacks? Thank,s anyhow and Greetings from Vienna / Austria.
Thank you for the very kind words, greatly appreciated. As for the RHA tips, I am not sure if there is a difference between clear and black. I have only used the clear RHA tips.
@@TheHonestAudiophile That could take a long time , because i ordered some sealing rings that must fit the Blon,s and make the tips longer. I can,t cancel them ,cause they are on there way. So i think i am gonna try them with some tips of my own before i gonna order the RHA. Maybe i don,t need them then anymore, or i order them anyhow . I don,t know by now. But i will keep you Informed Brother!
Hi Dave, for another great review! I got mine just yesterday and was excited to hear what the hype was about. Unfortunately, my BL03 is sounds staticky under every volume and pops here and there... My other headphones are not having any issues on my Schiit stack that I am listening to... Any advice what to do? Sounds great other than that tho.
Sounds like you may be overpowering them. Try lowering your gain or the source volume. You could also try a different cable. Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing 👍
@@TheHonestAudiophile I think I need to try new cable. Could having a mic on my cable affect the audio? I noticed while trying to search for a new one.
@@jk25653 sometimes inline mic cables can be effected when using with a dac/amp setup. I really enjoy the Drop 2 pin cables but they are pricey. Herr is my Drop affiliate link if you want order: massdrop.7eer.net/VXvyJ
I personally don't believe that an IEM can replace an over ear headphone or vice versa. I think they serve different purposes. I think comparing an IEM to an over-ear headphone is like comparing an apple to a lemon or a Corvette to a Peterbilt.
IEM and over ears compliment each other and fill different roles. I own several of each. I have only heard the 660s a few times at audio meets and thought they were a solid headphone but I need more time before giving impressions and comparisons. Only you can decide if you want two types of gear, I can't answer that for you.
@@TheHonestAudiophile i will save a little and get the 660S i really want to try good headphones, my only good headphones are sony mdr1000x. So im excited to try good quality open back earphones.
Hi sir..im just normal user with limited budget..i got blon 03 i like the sound and the bass it make but i hope it got better soundstage and detail ...you've say trn t3 sound good...so is it a significant upgrade from blon...if so in which part...sorry to bother u...
When you say TRN T3 are you meaning the Tin Hifi T3? I haven't heard the TRN T3. The Tin Hifi T3 has a significant improvement in detail retrieval and resolution. The tone and timbre is more natural and accurate. The Blon has more body and weight but is not as defined and refined as the T3.
@@TheHonestAudiophile tq sir for your quick reply...u right its tin t3...what do you think about the bass...i know you've said that its a linear bass...but is it far of the blon or is it less bass but more refine too...sorry for late reply...
I don't see a reason to replace cable but I don't use them as an every day carry. If I was to use as every day carry, I would be tempted to replace the cable.
@@TheHonestAudiophile I've heard you can warm up the ends and mold them to fit better but to me that's strange so I grabbed a new 2 pin cable and it's most comfortable IEM I own
I got them after sennheiser 5.00 and they have cleaner sound, but I do fell like due to their mid-high being little bit toned down they make stuff like electric guitar sounds little bit flat in comparison to 5.00
Some chance of another review about another Blon-03 ? This time with another color, the brown ones. Some guys are saying about another tuning in differents blon's lots or color. Actually people are saying different batches sounds different, the colour of the bag will tell what batch you are getting. The newer batches have a bag with darker shade of brown and they are said to not sound as good. Most RUclips reviewers got the first batch which sounds the best.
Depends on the type of hurt you are experiencing. If you have ear hole pain, like it is too stretched, then try another tip or size tip. If you have ringing or pressure in the ears then lower your listening level. Hope this helps.
@@TheHonestAudiophile The OnePlus dongle doesn't have dac in it..but the smartphone itself has the internal dac the dongle just converts the signal.. so the smartphone dac can run the 32ohms right sir?
With all the other hype merchants I take what they say with a pinch of salt. But if you like them David then I will take a punt on them.... I never quite loved my iBasso IT01 for some reason. I want to try something else.
Hello, Blon 03 will work well with Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 and PC with audio codec Alc892 ? I am disabled person and want the headphones to play well out of the box. Can I buy them or is it better to buy others?. Greetings.
I have no experience withbthe Redmi Note 10. I recommend the Moondrop SSR, Jade Audio EA1, Etymotic ER2XR, Tin Hifi T3, KB Ear Lark, KB EAR KS1 and CCA CKX instead of the Blon.
@@TheHonestAudiophile On March 29, I will be able to purchase the Tripowin TC-01 for 37.65$ . Is it worth buying them at this price?. According to reviews these iem play well from a smartphone.

Having upgraded the cable I have noticed a blue dot on each left and right pin. I presume this is the positive pin. What is the correct way for me to connect them to the Blon?
@@Longshanks1956 Sorry. I look forward to hearing about your findings. Farsil the Wizard advises that the cable should go "forward away from the ear. of they aren't pre hooked with a memory sleeve."
@@TheHonestAudiophile From looking at various pictures of Blons with upgraded cables fitted, it appears that the dot should face forward when the cable is worn over the ear. Thus indicating correct polarity.

@@TheHonestAudiophile now i do!!!! Cable down, switching em left to right gave em the full sound....i had no problem fitting em cable over, buttt!! They were lackluster at best

The IEM Blon is in my hand and I've enjoyed 'em. Just more unique sounding and the tones are thick and engaging. Though the bass for me is a bit prominent it is still very detailed and I love it😊
@@TheHonestAudiophile AHA! Lol So, that's #3. It's strange. Some believe the T2 is better. 🤔 Some complain about sibilance. I've thought about getting Tins for a long time. Can't figure out which to get, though. The cable on the T3 is insane. WOW!

@@TheHonestAudiophile Well after having a good listen back and forth between the zsn pro and the blon 03's, can hands down say that I prefer the zsn's, I can see why people do like them as they do have a laid back warmer sound, but dynamics and separation the zsn's are on a different level, with 2.4k and 4.8k reduced by about 2.5db they are spot on for me, I suppose it goes to show how sound is really a personal preference, still got the cca csn to try though 👍.

Which iem’s or wired earphones are best for RnB? I love bass and great audio quality.
Hmmm what's the budget?
@@TheHonestAudiophile anything under 200 would be great. I have AirPods Pro 2 as my main but would like a wired pair.
@midnightsparkles3772 A few options for you to consider .
Headphones:
Rode NTH-100, HarmonicDyne Athena, Aune AR5000
IEM:
7hz Timeless, iKKo OH10s, Tin Hifi P1 Max, Moondrop Kato
Keep in mind, the planar IEM and the over ear headphones will sound best with a more powerful source not just a simple USB dongle or phone 3.5mm jack.
They hold up suprisingly well even now, just hard to reccomend if you don't have a bunch of tips and wires lying around. With the stock tips they do not sound good, it was like i was listening to a different set when i found the right pair.
Thanks for the impressions.
Welcome sir ❤️
Do you that blon 3 is the best choice for iem under 100 dollars or what ?
Am a beginner at this field
I think the Blon BL-03 is a solid starter IEM but not the best under $100 as there are a lot of good options out there.
I recommend the following under $100:
Moondrop SSR
Tin Hifi T2
Tin Hifi T3
Jade Audio EA1
They sound amazing with my hybrid little bear b4 amp. I know it's apples and oranges but the bl-03 sound WAY better than my hd6xx's
Interesting. I'm glad you're enjoying your particular pairing. That's all that matters.
Hi David, awesome review. Old but gold! You've mentioned in the comm there are better options nowadays. What you recommend in this price range for critical listening and monitor live mixing? Already own EW200 and Wan'er. Cheers!
Tin Hifi T2
Great review Dave...but how would you compare them now with moondrop chu...will u recommend it still ? If not what then
Good review!! Any recommendations on budget iem for noise cancellation?? Love from Philippines
I haven't explored any noise canceling IEM but that might be a fun comparison.

Is this still good for December 2023?
I'd look at other options in the price range.
You give the best reviews, great channel 👍 Just wondering can I make the BL03 balanced and work on an IFI ZEN dac? Do you know what wires would I need for that?
You would need a 2 pin cable that terminates into a 4.4mm. I didn't try the Blon as balanced but it should sound great on the Zen DAC. Or you can get a 4.4mm to 2.5mm adapter and a 2pin cable to 2.5mm.

Hi. May I know how does Blon BL 03 compare sonically with Tin Audio T2 in terms of clarity, details and instrument separation?
I am sorry, I haven't heard a Tin T2.
Glad I found your channel. Almost bought the CCA C12 but I will now purchase these. My main gripe with the CCAs (I got the CA4) was that they lacked soundstage and depth and your video on the C12 is consistent with my experience with the CA4.
It appears that you’re happy with the soundstage and depth on these, and I’m certain they will be good enough to my ears. I’m sure the fact that they are 32ohm helps in that department.
I will also look into the RHA silicon tips. Thanks for the video!

@@TheHonestAudiophile just got them. I didn’t find the bass to be overbearing, but I’m also using the biggest set of stock tips.

Good morning sir
I have bought blon 03 as my first iem they were amazing in every thing sadly i lost it today 😢
So i want to buy a new iem
But i think i want more bass so sir what's your recommendation for more bass with a sound quality of blon , or i just rebuy them again am confused ?
Sorry to hear that. I'd recommend you buy another BL03. The Tin Hifi T3 Plus has similar bass but the mids are more forward. The TFZ No.3 has more bass but has less treble extension.
Sir which one shall I buy kz zsn pro or blon bl03? And do in need to get an external dac like ibasso b05? I want to use them with smartphones ☺️

Sir is it necessary to use blon bl03 with dac? Do dac improve the audio a lot? Or u use them to only amplify? I am confused because they give enough loudness for me by directly connecting to mobile.
Blon BL03 are very easy to drive and do not improve much/if at all sonically with a DAC and amplifier. You might hear a difference or you might now. If you are happy with how they sound then enjoy it as is unless you want to experiment.

Streaming service I use is Tidal.
My reference DAC is the Mytek Liberty DAC. Link to RHA dual density tips:
www.rha-audio.com/us/headphones/accessories/ear-tips/dual-density
Hi there, using these and a pair of 45ohm etymotics with an Iphone SE + Apple lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Should the source be enough to drive them and get great sound or should I look for another source like the much praised quad dac LG V series phones or Fiio audio player?
I am sorry I have no experience with Apple products.
The Blon are easy to drive and should be able to be driven with just about any portable device. I use dongles, xDuoo Link and Nextdrive Spectra X, because my Samsung Note 10 Plus doesn't have a headphone jack. I recommend the Sony NW-A105 WALKMAN for a DAP, have no experience with any Fiio DAP.

Is it possible to compare IEMs with headphones? Sound wise what’s the difference? Or what would those IEMs similar headphone sound would be?
I personally don't believe that an IEM can replace an over ear headphone or vice versa. I think they serve different purposes. I think comparing an IEM to an over-ear headphone is like comparing an apple to a lemon or a Corvette to a Peterbilt.

IEM and over ears compliment each other and fill different roles. I own several of each.
