Based on your review, just returned my newly bought KZ ZSN Pro X and order this.🙂(before any other awful reaction, just returned my KZ because the mic was not working. So got the chance to experience both the best IEMs at this price range)
I see. You'll probably love the smoother bass on these 🙂👍🏻
How would you compare the two? I am looking at the exact same two options 😂. Also which place did you order from (I assume you're an Indian like me 😉).
Yes, I am. The KZ as I said have a much sharper feel to them which takes a while to get used to. The BLONs are much easier to get used to and sound smoother to my ears directly out of the phone's headphone jack.
@@TheHopelessGeek Which place did you order from?
I got them from HeadphoneZone. But they're also available on Amazon amzn.to/3Bv7qkL
I own both blon bl03 as well as KZ ZSN Pro X. The blon sounded more energetic to me while the KZs were more smoother with great bass (When used with a Tempotrac Sonata HD Pro DAC). Found it next to impossible to get a good seal with blons without which the much talked about bass/warmth cannot be experienced. Found some solace finally with Spinfit CP 100 L tips which after a point becomes uncomfortable.
I see. My experience was a bit different when driving them straight from the phone.😀
broooo, i was eagerly waiting for this reviewww, i will buy it after a month or 2, but stilll, btw just share ur review either in video or typed in communiity section after 3 months usage plsss
Will do mate.😊👍🏻
I m bit confused with kz zsn pro x and blon.most of them telling that there is fitting issues in blon .is that true?
They seem to fit me relatively well. Perhaps they don't fit everyone?
I love my Blon -03, i love its Design Sound and Fitting... and my friends too love them. BLON-05 design is a downgrade tbh. WTF is that.
WHat would you recommend in todays date?? if I want something similar/Better to BLON 03 sound.
_(I don't like Harsh high ends, but I do like Bass but Not Overpowering, Blon -03 reallly opened up the way i listen to music)_
I still use the BL03 for all my sensitive audio needs, like editing and monitoring. You could maybe look at the Moondrop Chu. Harder to drive without an amp, but heard good things.
Can you recomm better iem than senniesser cx 180? I need the real difference plz
Based on my experience, the BLONs were a bit smoother to listen to than CX 180, at least to my preference :)
@@TheHopelessGeek ok btw can u recommend best iem to listen zayn and 1direction high notes
I'm not quite sure for high notes, perhaps some Moondrop ones can work well. But they are difficult to drive with just a phone/PC without an extra Amp.
Should I go with these or with the Sony MDR XB75AP?
I used the Sony's for the last year and they died so I'm looking for new ones . What do you suggest?
Since you've already tried them, check these out instead. You might enjoy the added clarity
I am using the Blons for over 6 months now. And before the blons, i got the Kz Zs10 Pro first. It was my worst audio gear experience ever... Really. I would use my AKG IG955 which came with my phone rather than using zs10 pros... (I'm serious) I can't really understand the hype on the Zs10 Pros, they are so fukin harsh and ultimate ear bleeding machine. Boosted upper-mid and lower-treble region is big no no. I can't use them after a hour of listening because i getting headache because of their bad unnatural timbre and metallic balanced armeteur sound. They know how to throw countless drivers to iems and sell them like "more drivers are better sound" but they doesn't know a single fukin thing about tuning the sound of an earphone FOR SURE... If you listen them at very low volumes like 80db or so, then they will sound 'ok' and not that muddy, distorted like in high volumes. But at that price range, when you can get Blon BL03, just go for it you won't be disappointed in any ways. The soundstage and imaging is waaaaayyy better compared to kz zs10 pros. Blons have depth and height too compared to zs10 pros which only have width in soundstage. There are only a few good things i can say for zs10 pros. It has better treble extension and because of that more airy presentation, the good instrument seperation and tighter bass lines (Tighter but low bass presentation, so if you are a bass head go with blons. their single dynamic driver hits like a 12" car subwoofer) and that was all the pros for zs10 pro... in the end of the day, their unnatural timbre and harsh vocals make them unlistenable. The comfort and fit is depends on person to person for sure. But with my kinda small ears, blons are much comfortable than kz i can clearly say that. Beside that, i experienced the Qkz VK4s too. They are more listenable than kzs but they are not as clear as kz or blons too. But if i would gonna buy an iem but can't get the blons, i would definitely get vk4. for it's little price, they are amazing iems. Vk4s are popular with QC (quality control) issues so keep that in mind before buying them. They are like playing gambling on buying. If you get a pair of vk4 without any build or sound issue, then they will be great buy. By the way, i'm using my iems with Fiio K5 Pro dac+amp. I have tempotec sonata hd pro dongle too and it has brighter and crispier sound rather than neutral, so the zs10 pros are way harsher with bright, edgy sounding dacs like sonata hd pro dongle. And because all the Kz line have the similar sound characteristics, you should look something else if you don't like harsh, bright and ear bleeding vocals in an iem. I used all my iems with upgraded cables. Kz 16 core gold upgrade cable and trn t2 16 core upgrade cable for zs10 pros and yinyoo 8 core upgrade cable for blon bl03. I didn't like the stock cables of any of them. They are just crap. Buy a cable if you gonna buy a chi-fi iem...
I'm considering a spare cable and some additional foam tips.
@@TheHopelessGeek Yep, it will be great. The stock cable is not that good, i'm ok with the stock tips and don't like foams that much. But good ones like spinfits would be awesome. The only thing is that the blons have really weird pins that is not compatible with kz's cables. The yinyoo ones which are produced only for blon models are compatible and the 2 pin models are compatible so keep that in mind.
Okay, thanks for the info.😃
Hey I have had these for a long time and never use them because the eartips are too big and they always seem to fall out. Could you make a video or recommendation on best replacement eartips for these as I've heard your sound signature can change based on what kind of eartips you get.
Yes, that's true. The sound drastically varies with the eartips. I'll look for some good options if any, and let you know.🙂
SpinFit CP145 medium worked best for me after buying a lot of third party eartips.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
@@TheHopelessGeek You're welcome!
😁❤
Are these good for regular users, not music producers? Can they be used just for music and RUclips or specifically for musicians/gamers?
Yes, of course 😊
I don't have a DAC, so using these IEMs straight onto 3.5mm, will they make any difference compared to bass heavy earphones in the market?
Yes, these IEMs will still deliver good sound from a 3.5mm jack of a phone/PC.
Hey bro, I am kinda confused if they would work well on my One plus 8 as I do not have a direct headphone jack and would use a type c to 3.5 mm connector.
Please let me know if these would still work alright in my case and I shall order it tomorrow itself. Lovely review btw ❤️
I think they'll work just fine. In fact, USB-C port can product better audio output than headphone jack (on phones), since they have a slightly stronger DAC. A good quality adapter will do the trick🙂👍🏻
They do work on oneplus
Yup, USB-C on it supports audio output.😀
@@TheHopelessGeek Will the standard One plus type c to 3.5 mm connector will be sufficient to produce good enough experience?
Yes, it'll suffice
DQ6S, ZEX Pro, Moondrop SSP, Moondrop SSR
Which one is the best among them vs Blon 03?
I haven't quite used any of those 4. Maybe you can check out the Rtings.com website for comparisons and sound signature graphs 🙂
Is it comfortable with spectacles? since it goes around your ear.
Yes, it is comfy to use even with spectacles. That's one of the main reason I use it a lot over my headphones🙂
Hello is the blon 03 better than sound quality of lypertek tevi wireless?
I've never used the tevi wireless. I'm quite happy with my BLONs though. They work great for music, video editing, movies, etc.🙂👍🏻
KZ are usually bright and treble heavy
Yes, you're right.
Bro, I Recently purchased blon bl 03 and CCA NRA, And I can definitely say that CCA is a much much better earphone when it comes to audio quality. I was surprised why there is so much hype created for Blon 03, whereas I did found that the earphones need a deeper push into the ear canal to get that extra punch. whereas CCA's were very comfortable and had an ample amount of Bass into. also, the sound separation was much much better. The Blon did not surprise me at all. I also purchased another IEM that is moondrop spaceship, and surprisingly its 6 mm drives surprised me with its punchy bass and sound quality. You also haven't mentioned the fitment of this IEM whereas it requires special ear tips which also cost close to a new IEM. Overall I am not that happy with these earphones.
I see. I haven't used the CCA ones. These were a nice entry level option for me, but I'll likely upgrade later on🙂
Well, what is nice from blon and why it's punch above it's price range is in it's natural midrange and good tonality bro..at that same price range there's definitely a better technically iem but i doubt it'll be an iem that sound organic and creamy in the midrange.
And it's kinda hit and miss too because of the fitting, so yeah there'll be some that loves it and not. You need to changes the cable too i think as the quality of the cable included is garbage, any cheaper cable at ±10$ will be much better i think.
Last one will be the playlist i think, the bass is slow and not fast so if you're playlist mainly consist of metal or rock that needed a fast and good decay bass it'll be a worse match with blon, i mainly hearing korean & japanase song and doesn't really need a fast bass or super extend treble so it's really good for my tastes. Hope it'll answer your curiously about the hype around bl03😊
Maine bhi moondrop spaceship leke gulti kerdi r you use any dac blon such me accha nhi kya compare to nra
@@he.236 Yes. CCA NRA is the best IEM in this price range coz it has two drivers. 10 mm and 6mm. The fitment is perfect and they sound great. Just you need to give it time to burn it for a week. Punchi bass and good mids. Initially you won't like it, but after a week you will love them. The built quality is also amazing and cable is very good. Go for it. Apne moondrop kab liye hai ? Give it time, thought they are not loud, but the 6mm driver will surprise you.
I too face fitting issues with my blon bl03 which isn't comfortable in my ears. is there any eartips that helps to improve its fitting
hey bro im seeing many reviews that these earphones are fragile and are stopping working after a few months is this true? are these so fragile?
I don't think they're fragile. They've been smahed onto my table many times accidentally, still working fine after 3-ish months.😄
Are these headphones cold to touch? Most metal heads feel uncomfortable to wear in cold climate.
They are a little cold, but they don't feel so in your ears.
How is the isolation?
And how are they for gaming?
The stock eartips are pretty good at cancelling noise passively but for a better fit you can consider getting some third party ones. Yes, they're good for gaming too, as they have a nice quality mic inline.
@@TheHopelessGeek I actually need good sounding headphones or earphones under 2.5k for gaming
These sound okay to me. You could also look at the CCA C10. They're little more expensive, but users say they sound better amzn.to/3BdCTYk
hey is it good for calls like meetings and etc?
It's great! It's comfortable to wear and the mic is clear.
do u recommend buying extra ear tips?
or stock ones are fine?
The stock air tips were all right for me but many find them lacking in quality. You could consider buying some foam tips for a better seal.
@@TheHopelessGeek Okay
Any chance of falling out from ear.
Or SM E11C better?
It doesn't fall out because of the ear hook design.🙂👍🏻 I haven't used the E11C to compete it😅
@@TheHopelessGeek thanks
🙂✌🏼
How does this ear phone compares to the following:
Kz zsn pro
Kz zsn pro x
Blon bl01
For a kind of an audiophile experience and also gaming
I think this is better than those listed.🙂👍🏻
@@TheHopelessGeek damn, welp might as well get one, thanks for the review
🙂👍🏻
@@TheHopelessGeek oh yea btw what kind of 3rd party eartip should i use ?
Spinfit CP100
Or
Spinfit CP145 ?
I have no idea. So far, I've just been using the stock ones and I'm pretty happy with those. Maybe I'll take these as reference 😅
is this compatible with kz hd aptx bluetooth apadter?
It might be, but I'm not sure. I haven't tried it.😅
Ah, thanks for the confirmation. 🙂👍🏻
I used it with kz aptx type b cable, it works but the connection is kinda loose and its easy for the iem to be detached because kz uses 0.75mm pin while blon uses 0.78mm pin... I think you should get the trn bt3s with the 0.78mm pin variant
Is it good for bgmi ??
Yeah, it'll work well for gaming.
@@TheHopelessGeekthanks.. N one more question .. Headphonezone or amazon??
HeadphoneZone is a little reliable but you can often find deals on Amazon too.
@@TheHopelessGeek thanks.. 👍
🙂✌🏼
Cost?
2200 INR
is the cca ca4 good. Getting it for 999?
I've heard good things about it. That's a good price too.😄
@@TheHopelessGeek one last ques shoud i not buy kz zst x for 1400 or should i get the cca. i cant go above 1400.
Maybe CCA would be better than KZ, as I personally find KZs a bit too sharp on the treble.
do they sound better than airpods pro
Airpods have better saturation and low end. These have equivalent clarity in the mids and high notes on a budget🙂👍🏻
@@TheHopelessGeek thnx ✌🏼
😊👍🏻no problem. Consider subscribing to see more vids like this.
Buying Chinese iem is like a gamble, they produced by quantity over quality so you can not expect the same sounding audio at the same headset brand and model. There will always be we called "factory defect". Won't last long either unlike the credible brands like Sony, Sennheiser, Shure, Ethymotic, RHA to name a few. For me, I rather save my money and go for the credible audiophile brand headsets. Bottom line: There is no end game to chi-fi iems.
That's true, I suppose.
I have limited experience, since I've only had one Chinese IEM as yet. However, my Sony earphones felt much flimsier than my current Tanchjim Tanya earphones. And I've never heard any earphone that sounds like these. My Sony earphones would last a year max. I also had an RHA MA 390. Those sounded absolutely glirious. However, the build quality on those was horrific and withing 6 months I had cuts on the soft rubber wire where ever it was bent even a little when stored.
I agree with the image that comes with Chinese products. However that's seems to not be the case when we talk about Earphones.
There are good brands too, but it's tricky for new shoppers to spot them easily.
@@TheHopelessGeek true. I browsed a lot of youtube and reddit before deciding what I wanted. I am thinking of getting the BLON BL03s now since I need something that sounds like the tanya, but can be used when sleeping on the side as well. I'd appreciate if you have anything to suggest.
I don't use earphones all that long, especially not when sleeping 😅. But the BLONs have good sound quality for daily use.
lol, just ordered mine
😃let me know how they perform
@@TheHopelessGeek kaisa kiya perform
