Track - The Path by Miracle of Sound
I've had SoundMagic E10C, E80C, Rha ma390, Sennheiser CX275, momentums and many more, but these BlON BL03s jeeeeZ, they killed all others, I think BLONs BL03 competes with IEMs costing $150-200 easy.
They’re so much fun, aren’t they?
Really 😳 r you blon bl-03 CEO

Thanks! Will do!
And welcome aboard, by the way ;)
I've always had my eye on the Blon - B 03 and finally, after my bluetooth headphones gave up on me, I decided to order them. But just to make sure, I wanted to see some reviews on these and I am so glad I stumbled upon your video. It was very honest, relatable and practical review and I appreciate the fact that you make time and respond to comments. Sub'ed your channel and keep up the good work!
Thanks bud🤘🏻. Welcome aboard
Im planning to get this blon03
Is it still a good buy?
Or what would you recommend which is of the same price range?
Yep
@@TechHyped thanks
I discovered something very interesting about the blon bl 03! I bought one pair, loved them to bits, bought a second pair for back up. Completely different sound signature?! Exact same supplier and everything.
So i bought a 3rd one while keeping the other 2 around for comparison. Read on to find out how the 3rd one sounded!
Okay so, i will briefly explain the sound signature of all threee:
Blon 03 ( my 1st pair) - a slightly L shaped sound signature.
very balanced with beautifull lush forward mids, sparkly and airy highs and deep and full lows, a magic mix. They sound like people have worked on the tuning for over a decade. Ha!
Blon bl 03 (2nd pair, 7 months later ) - different, as in very different. I thought they changed the tuning. A V shaped sound signature with recessed mids. Reminded me of the dt 770 but warmer.
The blon magic was gone in this pair to be honest.
Blon bl 03 ( 3rd and last pair) -
A strong L shaped sound signature.
No sparkle in the highs and still a bit weak in the mids. A bit of a boring sound with bloated bass.
Last 2 pairs are nothing like the 1st pair i got.
The funny thing is, now that i have compared my 3 "identical" pairs i seem to understand the bad reviews about the blon bl 03 a lot better. The reviews go from one of the best sounds under 500 dollars to angry audiophiles that call it a dr dre Beats iem. Now that i have 3 pairs, i see where there coming from.
The bad reviews describe my last 2 pairs with their over powering bass that bleeding into the mids. + recessed mids and dull/dark highs. And then the complete opposite reviews are extremely positive and describe my first pair.
I am sad to announce that i am running out of IEM money so i can not keep on buying new pairs to test. But there seems to be a big difference in quality.
The last 2 pairs i ordered in the same week are even very different from each other and ofcourse unrecognizable from my original pair.
So that is why i wanted to write this comment for people out there looking to buy the blon.
I will advise anyone, that has the time/money, to buy and try more pairs before settling on one pair of blons. You can get lucky and if you do then you truly do have a sub 500 dollar iem in my opinion!
Oh btw one thing Blon does very well, is matching left and right iem to sound very close to each other. So quality control on the channel balance seems good.
I dont know what to say really, i hope i can find a true back up for my 1st blon pair but it seems that the blon bl 03 is truly a "unique" iem 😏
Goodluck!
Maybe they glue the drivers in by hand? Maybe that is why each driver sits in the unit slightly different which results in bouncing frequencies or something.
Or maybe the drivers have very poor quality control and they have a difference in the quality of resources etc.
If i remember correctly i saw someone talk about the blon drivers being made by a third party. He said that the driver company makes millions of iem drivers for different chinese music companys.
That’s a QC nightmare… hadn’t heard that before, but it sure would explain quite a bit.
That said, I’ve had plenty of discussions surrounding these IEMs and it never really felt like the sound was so different between pairs from different people. It usually went on like the sound signature was indeed the same, just that it didn’t speak to everyone’s tastes, which is again, totally plausible.
Still thanks for sharing your anecdotal evidences/experience, mate!
@@TechHyped thank you for reading! It could just be that i have had bad luck.
But i want to add that the differences i am describing between pairs are ofcourse a bit exaggerated like most audio descriptions so that is why they maybe sound somewhat the same to many people. But the thing is there is a certain combination of tuning, bass quantity etc which created that blon magic in my first pair. And that is what makes it so dynamic and fun and vinyl sounding in my opinion. I could understand that people with a slightly different sounding pair miss that magic.
But ofcourse taste is a always a big factor!
Oh, I read everything bro!
Slight differences in tuning and all the other aspects for sure could make someone “miss the magic”, especially since we’re talking sound and peoples subjective taste in sound. It not being a matter of objective numerical performance, QC is even more important, I’d wager.
Thanks again for sharing 🤘🏻
@@TechHyped yeah! Good points, a little difference goes a long way in this precise hobby. Posted this story ( edited for a better read ) on reddit today to see people their experience. And there is a lot of activity in the discussion about similar or other experiences surrounding this popular IEM.
Great that you react to everyone, i hope some day you cannot do that anymore! Which would be a good sign for your channel growth!
Does this have better soundstage than the tangzu waner se and the kz castor harman silver? Which iem has the best soundtage in this price range?
God, the Ligh Gun color variant is so good. In picture, it looks like a bland brown matte color but in person it looks like silver in dark mode with lil brown hue to it.
Yep. It does have just a slight tint. I love the way the 03 looks. Its the best looking Blon, with the A8 being a close second… or maybe the other way around haha
Off the back of this review I grabbed a pair and I wasn’t prepared for how good these headphones are!!! I was going to replace my soundmagic 11c with another pair of the same and am so glad I jumped ship. Man they perform so well and they’re so easy to drive aswell 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Paired with a shanling m1s, astonishing!
These aren’t the only ones that outperform other stuff at this price bracket anymore but are still some of my favorites. I’ll keep them in my collection forever, alongside the original t2 from Tin hehe
I just ordered mine today. I'm Really really excited!!
How is it?
@@prantomon4647 kinda disappointed, IMO they are very overhyped
@@fardan1980 really? I hear this thing from time to time. Is it really not that good?

Just ordered these. This review was the final nail. Excited af!
Thanks for the brilliant review. I just ordered these to gift my wife and I am planning to order T2s too for me, soon..☺️
That's a win-win situation. 😉😜
Sachin K smart guy hahaha. A “gift for my wife” you say... 😜
@@TechHyped I got the BL-03s delivered within 24hrs. I am "blon" away 😉 by the first impression. Thanks again..!
🤪🤣🤣🤣
@@TechHyped I was about to buy the T2s but then I got to know about T4s. I did some research however now I am confused between the T4s and Fiio FH3. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thx man and keep doing the good work...!
I did exactly the same and getting T2 for my gf and throw in a KZ DQ6 for myself. Unfortunately I think the diameter of the T2 if too huge for a female ears have to get another tip for it yet still hard to get in my gf. :)
Just found this channel through youtube algorithm. Subscribed! I like the way your review IEMs
Welcome aboard, friend! Hope you keep enjoying ;)
Ordered these off a streamers suggestions for gaming as my first venture into iems can't wait to see how they are
You are the only guy who mentioned about the fact of using stock tips which will fit in the ears with the gradual body heat and it worked for me like charm...your review is great...and I love ur channel...keep up the good work!...Also tell me what would you choose between Blon's and Kbear lark(as now they have arrived and had seen ur review too) ?
Glad the review was helpful, mate ;) Thanks for the compliments and welcome aboard! Hope future videos keep being as good (or better, right?! haha)!
I guess I answered your question on the Lark in another comment as well ;)
hello, blon bl03 or kz dq6, can you compare these two and give a brief review ??
Nope.... 'Cuz I haven't tested the DQ6 yet, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know ;)
Btw those 2 I was recommended blon 03.
Eagerly waiting for the delivery while getting really hyped seeing the reviews. I had Tin T2 and lost ,😭 , loved it except the bass weight , quantity was a little below of what I like but the most difficult thing was the treble ,no it was not excessive,not uneven but kinda hard edged and reminded me a lot of dt770. Expecting a much more forgiving and soft signature while still be tonally accurate more or less. Oh and a little more body and weight in bass . Hope i am not going to be disappointed.
Ooooh that's too bad. I mean, better to lose a $50 IEM than a $250+ one, but still.
Hope you enjoy your BL03, bro. ;)
Kzzs10 pro will be your taste... It has everything you needed in your description
Hi I purchased it yesterday can you advise me for the eartips for this?
Honestly, I’ve been using them since I got them with the stock tips… tips is way too personal in terms of comfort, but I wouldn’t advise using foams… They already have plenty of low end
@@TechHyped are you having issues with fitting?
Nope. I use the medium stock ones with them.
Other IEMs i use smalls, and some times (very rarely) large ones.
The fit of these for me is great. I like it better than the bl02 ones
High quality video, bro... Keep up with the excellent job!
Thanks bro! Welcome aboard ;)
Hello are you there sir...i like bass..im looking for a good earphones.. doesn't want only bass..need an all-rounder..even if its old...is this have better sound stage than(kz castor,7hz zero 2)?..i don't need bass if the other part is getting lower like the Kz castor...do you have the blon 03 now...can i buy it ..i need a sophisticated,good bass..just a decent bass..vocals, instrument seperation...even if its on higher volumes,i need to enjoy and hear the quality...looking for blon 03.. does it have good sounding..like nuanced
Keep it up bro! Nice quality video.
Thanks bro! \o/!
Thanks for this nice review. I own the KZ Zs10 Pro already, which are good, but want to buy an extra pair of IEM's. I considering the TIN T2 or these Blon BL-03. What would be the best choice ? (I listen to all kind of music, except house and heavy Metal). Thanks again.
I'd consider the T2 more than the Blon 03 or 05, since the ZSN Pro already has a bit more bass and low end in the mix, something with less pronounced bass that's a bit more chilled out like the T2 might be a nice addition to your collection ;).
@@TechHyped I think they're talking about ZS10 Pro and not the ZSN. I've listened to ZS10 from a friend and they have almost no bass, although the fit was very loose on my ear I have to say.
If the fit was loose, you definitely missed on most of “any” low end it could throw at you, unfortunately;/
Great production quality
Thanks bro! Much appreciated ;)
How come I stumbled in your channel after so long!!!

Thanks dude! 🔥🤘🏻
Perfect review!
That's a hell of a praise. Thanks bro.
Blon Bl03 or Kz Zex .. which should i buy? I love to listen Calm music.. sometimes bass songs also..
Tough choice... Even with all the debacle about the ZEX Pro that's going around (I'm about to post a video on the subject as well), I still feel like it's a hell of a good IEM.
It's less energetic and wide-sounding than the 03, so for your more "calm music", it'll probably fit better.
Hello? What's you experience with the product now that you have been using it for over an year? Any issues in the cables or tips? Also will I get a good sounding experience from this earphones if plug it into a type c to 3.5mm in my one plus 8?
Sup bro!
Zero issues, either with the cables or the IEMs.
I had to exchange the tips though… mr. Scatterbrains over here lost one side and couldn’t use other sizes, so I had to use a new set, but the old one was absolutely fine, still.
Amazing IEM! It's really fun
Brother , in terms of bass and overall music instruments . is it better than ccz coffee bean ?
Yes.
great stuff man, a more in-depth comparison between the blons and the tins would be appreciated ;)
Hummmm.... guess I’ll have to work on that for my next vid 😁!
Thanks btw! Hope you keep enjoying the content ;)
awesome review! many thanks!

Moondrop Chu 2 vs Blon BL-03 which is better?
If I connect a straight connector to the Blon BL-03, can these be worn straight down instead of over the top of the ear?
I'm not 100% sure. The only spare/other cables I got here that work with this specific squared-off design of the Blon plug are hook-designs...
That said, just holding them by hand, I can feel they don't sit as well inside my ears.
The BL05 definitely don't.
Great work! I am new to this IEM & all, i have ordered these but I'll be using these on Ipod Classic or galaxy s10.
1. Do i need external DAC
2. Is this Brown variant which you have shown in video.
Thanks man!
Thanks, lad. Appreciate it.
1 - you don’t *NEED* a dac
1.1 - but it would be better than the sound out of either the iPod or the S10. Look for dongle-dacs like the dragonfly cobalt, the thx onix and that sort of stuff.
1.2 - your chances of actually hearing the difference, being new to IEMs, are pretty slim, so don’t bother for now ;)
2 - this is the Gunmetal version.
@@TechHyped Yep, what ur refering to the gunmetal color is sold on headphonezone in India, as Brown...
I was looking around for the gunmetal; but then realised that gunmetal aka brown are one and the same
Will these be a better option for a first timer over the Bl01? Just planning to use it with my smartphone and laptop. The only concern I have for the Bl01 is that a lot of people says it needs a dac to unlock its full potential. Does the bl03 have the same issue? Or is it fine using them on smartphones/laptops?
Ok, I'll answer this comment since it will kind of answer your question on the Blon BL-01 video as well:
I think the 03 is better. Plain and simple. At this price point, I'd go for the 03 or the 05 if you can grab it in a promo of sorts, but the 03 is MUCH more comfortable for me, so I gravitate towards it a lot more than for the 05.
After the 03, I'd say the next "must have" would be a Tin T2, and after that, aim for stuff on the level of the Starfields and Legacy 3 (0ver $100).
As for the Dac situation, I don't really think so. The 01 had the advantage of being tested while hooked to a Schiit Modius, which is an EXCELLENT dac, and it still didn't bring it in comparison to the 03 to my ears... When I first tested the 03, I didn't have the Modius around and my DAC was the built-in one from my Scarlet 2i2, or whatever portable player/phone I had on me.
The 03 can scale nicely with better Dacs, but I'd say it'll be more prone to scale with better amps, rather than Dacs directly, but it's still not *needed* to push them to enjoyment.
I think this covers the questions on both comments hahaha... Anyway, if there's anything else I can help out with, let me know.
Cheers ;)
@@TechHyped Bro thank you so much for answering my question in DETAIL! I'll wait for a promo on the 03s. Love your vids btw, keep it up man!
Thanks bro! And you’re welcome ;)
What cable is the best for blon bl03, Im Gonna upgrade my cable:)
This one, but the tfz version... check the one that works with the blons hehe. amzn.to/3n9mL3R
There are others, but this one is delicious
great video bro
Thanks bro!
Is that metal joint on the earphone comfortable to ears ?
Don't the metal make any panic ?
Don't have any issues with comfort with this one. The metal joint doesn't really touch as much and it gets in there properly.
Ony thing is the metal feel in a colder day, but that's not such a problem. It gets to a nice temperature pretty flipping fast.
@@TechHyped Thank you for your answers.
Best wishes for you .
Can I listen to lossless audio with this?? My phone headphone jack supports 24bit 194Khz.. So can I listen to lossless audio from apple and later this year Spotify??
The headphones (or IEMs) you use, as long as they're analog, yes they can be used to listen to lossless stuff.
What's going to impact you making it either possible or not, if the hardware and software you're using to decode/translate/send that audio signal to whatever you're using as a dac/amp and then to your speakers or headphones.
That was more convoluted than I anticipated... lol!
TL:DR - yes, you can. Headphones, IEMs and speakers are NOT a barrier for listening to any quality music/audio.
The rest of the hardware and software you are using can be.
ps: if your speakers or headphones are trash, you could say "it is a barrier for listening to any quality music/audio", but you get what I mean ;)
Very torn between these and T2s. I listen to a lot of music but I love my jazz quartets and lofi hip-hop beats. Would you recommend these over the T2s?
Think of it like this: do I wanna chill and enjoy the music with a warmer, more melodic touch, or do I wanna enjoy the music in a pumped up and more energetic fashion?
If the first, T2. The second, BL03.
That said, Jazz has a higher tempo, more energetic rhythm but not necessarily a lot of punch, which could be enhanced by the bl03’s approach, while the lo-fi stuff would be fine with either.
Ps: I’ve been personally gravitating towards the T2 more, recently.
@@TechHyped Oh wow you actually took the time to reply to my comment. Thanks! Hmmm, it seems like I might get the BLONs first and save up for the T2 for those times I feel like listening to classical music or some more melodic songs; since it seems like in the long run I'd prefer to have something like the T2 on hand, which is more melodic and isn't as bass heavy
.
Would you recommend the kbear lark over this ? For gaming purpose and mild music.
Competitive gaming: yes
Gaming to have fun: no
Almost the same idea for music… “kind of”
I bought it, but I do not notice any difference at phone with stock Samsung earphones. Do I need a DAC?
You definitely shouldn't need any dac or amp for these, but you should have felt a difference going from the stock AKG Samsung buds tho... Which version of the Samsung stocks are you using? (that's actually almost useless information, but...)
Hey, awesome video man! Already have the Tin T2's and am considering buying these, so I would love to see a comparison between the two! :)
It's on the works! Lot's a people asking for the same thing hahaha ;D
ps: Thanks dude! Welcome aboard ;)
Get both if possible..
We see some budget iems with 4 or 5 drivers. blon has only 1 ab and 1 dynamic. Do you think blon can beat the other budget iems with more drivers ? Does it mean having more driver produces better sound quality ?
Short answer:
1 - yes it can
2 - more drivers means more "control" over what the sound profile can be (In theory), but not necessarily better sound quality.
Going SUPER nuts about that theory I mentioned:
Why "in theory"? Well... You clearly don't NEED multiple drivers to deliver good sound, but - and I'm speculating here - with smaller (tiny, really) drivers like we see in IEMs, tuning might be more difficult when compared to headphones with 50mm drivers inside, for example.
So, having multiple drivers, would mean you can focus each one of them to a specific area of the spectrum, and by combining them all, push the precise overall sound profile you want.
At least, that's how I see it (and I can very well be extreeeeeeeeemely wrong), and part of that is because of how speaker drivers work.
Yes, there are speakers with ONE driver in the middle that does everything, as well as speakers with multiple drivers, and USUALLY, multiple drivers separate the frequencies between the drivers, in a matter of focus.
In the same price-range, there's a ton of stuff with more than one driver around that won't perform to the level of the Blons.
And in higher price-tiers, there are single-driver stuff that's just as good as multiple-driver options.
I guess it's a "way of doing things".
I'm more impressed by single-driver IEMs doing exceptional things, tho, simply because, as I understand it, it's more difficult to dial in the tweaks.
How is the passive noise cancelling with those silicone tips as opposed to good foam ones?
Hum.... not the absolute best the way I use them, because I dont like bigger tips, but its not like its a bad seal tho.
Did you compare them with the other excellent, more balanced Chi-Fi offerings in the same price bracket? Which ones?
Only with the Tin T2 for now, but more is coming ;)
How big of a jump from kz zsn? I'm new to these and my daily driver is the og zsn now and i want to upgrade
As I said in a previous comment, its been a while since I've listened to the ZSN Pro, so it wouldn't be completely accurate to compare the two, BUT, from memory I'd say the BL03 would be an upgrade, yes.
how's the bass overall? I'm coming from Hifiman re 400, they are beautiful but certainly lacking bass. I thought about getting some Shure's se215 but someone recommended me the blon 03.
TLDR: excellent bass quality, not overly bassy, nice soundstage, energetic and exciting.
That said, it's been forever since I've last tried the RE400s, so it wouldn't be fair for me to compare them directly... But the BL03 are in themselves quite special. There's a reason why they've become THIS popular, just like the Tin T2s.
Brother, which colour is better.
Gunmetal (brown) or silver?!
For this one, I like the gunmetal
@@TechHyped thanks❤️
@@TechHyped I have a suggestion. I went through your videos and i see most of them are regarding one single product review. I think if you do a series which intoruduce a bunch of products under certain price point, or top 5 headset under certain price bracket, that will get you more views- as per your standards each and everyone will sub tooo.
Usually people try to find best electronic products from thier budget, then only they will try to find the detailed review of the product.
your videos are in second level of searching, so number of viewers will become so small.
you can crated a videos from already filmed (reviewed products) and voice over it tooo.
If I sound against your style of presentation pleaee ignore.
❤️
Thanks for the suggestion dude! Feedback is always appreciated ;)
I’ll do some thinking on that idea!🤘🏻
Can you suggest which should choose between KZ ZSN pro x and blon bl03?
Blon 03… and sorry for the delay, I thought I had answered you already lol!
Does the included cable come with a microphone?
Depends. You can buy it with a mic cable or not
Great video man! i have a pair of akg k361 closed backs which sound great but don't have a removable cable, and I've decided to get an IEM to use for gaming on PS4. I was just wondering since I mostly play story games like red dead redemption and Detroit become human, do these make you feel immersed in your environment?
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
As for the IEMs, they should, yes. Since you’re all about story games, the “somewhat overemphasized” soundstage wont be an issue. If you were like a pro FPS gamer it could, but I don’t think its the case ;)
@@TechHyped that's great thank you for the quick response you've sold me on them
No problem dude! Hope you enjoy’em as well. Good gaming! 🤘🏻
@@chrisdeme1010 That's exactly what I ordered them yesterday for. I play Ps5 but I only play story games so they seemed perfect.

i have c12 Is this better than Cca c12?i want to more bass but not muddy and clear highs but not sibilant is blon bl03 good upgrade?Thank in advance:)
Dude, sorry I took so long to respond. It's been nuts...
Anyway, I haven't ever tested the C12, so I can't compare it to the bl03...
What I can say is that the 03 has excellent bass quality and quantity, not being too bass-heavy (so if you're a basshead, this may not be bassy "enough" for ya) and being very energetic and punchy.
How that compares to the c12 tho.... Can't say ;/
@@TechHyped Thanks for the reply i like good bass but not overly boomy i think blon bl03 has good quality bass.i just want to know if it is not sibilant in Ss and Ts sounds in vocals because i am treble sensitive.i may consider blon bl3 worth buying.Thanks again for the review bro👍
You’re welcome bro. Glad to help.
And no, they’re not sibilant, so that shouldn’t be a problem
Which is the best for you under, 50$????and how is blon 03
pranto mon bl03 are awesome. Under $50 = Bl05 (spoiler alert)
A quick question:
What should i buy blon or tin t2 pros ? Not from an aspect of value for money i just need best
The T2 Pros have more treble and a bit more resolution, but I find them too harsh because of that.
Between the BL03 and the T2, depends on your preferences. If you enjoy bass and want something more energetic - Blons.
If you want a more well balanced signature with excellent mids and vocal clarity, T2s are your IEM.
I just dropped a review on them, actually ;)!
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/n_5fTe8U--k/v-deo.html
PERSONALLY, I enjoy the sound signature of the Blons a little bit more, but the T2 are a slightly better overall package, as I can comfortably use them for more situations without losing anything.
@@TechHyped thank you very much man you are a life saver.
Edit: Are t2 pros better than t2
Edit: I think I'll go with t2's
@@anmolsharma4049 no. All reviewers say the normal T2s have less harshness so they are the safer choice

Is it worth buying in 2021?
Yes.
Is it better then kz s10 pro ?
Yes
Is this metal material earphone safe if i using on PC?
Not sure what you mean. Yeah, its safe
Soundmagic e11c vs blon o3 which one is better
Haven't tried the e11c, so its not fair to compare the two.
Still the beat or would you recommend something else in that range?
If you can get a Tripowin TC01 for about the same $, I'd recommend that because it's a better poised middle-ground between the 03 and the T2.
But I'd still recommend the 03 100%. It's a super fun little IEM.
@@TechHyped TC01's price is more than double of blons.
Darn it… promos must have ended. Can’t go wrong with the 03
@@TechHyped uff, is there huge defference between them!
Kind of yes, but in terms of their signatures, not necessarily their quality.
The tc01 is a bit less enthusiastic and has a warmer, slightly more chill sound.
That’s pretty much it, really…
Plus it can rock foam tips like a champ, enhancing the low end punch without it being too much.
thoughts on BL-05?
Yes... ua-cam.com/video/RtGpl5NjzjM/v-deo.html ;)
Take love 💝.. your prasentation is just Amazing..
Thanks! ;)
@@TechHyped Have you head about Monk Plus earphones ? They are roughly $10 but i have heard a lot about them and the reviews i have gotten on them are unbelievable. They sound like almost $100 earphones. Please do try them, you would be shocked(in a good way 🙂) upon hearing them.
Hadn’t heard about them but will make sure to check them out asap! Thanks for the tip ;)
Great review Sir. Can you please compare it to the Moondrop Spaceship if you have that? Thank you. :)
Moondrop Spaceship you say.... Alright, I'll look into them!
Thanks, btw! ;)
Can you wear them cable down?
I couldn't. Didn't fit quite right, you know?
how does tool sound on the blons for you ?
Depends on the tool... Hammers sound pretty good, but saws and wrenches are a bit tasteless...
Wait... 🤔
Jokes aside, I like it. Really enjoyed the last APC album on them.
I dont know if you are saying these powerful words keeping its 40 dollar price in mind but I have ordered it any way.
I'm definitely considering the $40... They're easily worth it.
Couldn't agree with the title more!
Can i use it to play valorant? please reply
Well..... Yes.... Kind of obviously... ¬¬
Is it good for fps gaming?
I like it! Little bit extra bass and an interesting soundstage makes these quite fun to use for gaming.
What should i buy kz zs10 pro or blon 03?
Haven't heard the zs10 Pro in a while, but from memory I enjoy the sound coming from the BL03 more, for whatever that's worth.
More direct competition in price would be with the BL05, and spoiler from the video that's dropping pretty soon, but the BL05 is better. Flat out.
@@TechHyped thank you
You're welcome ;)
No driver flex?
Not that I've noticed!
Can I get these with volume control buttons?
Yep
@@TechHyped Can I get them stock? If not, any recommended ones?
Yeah, you can choose the cable with the controls instead of the normal ones on aliexpress, keephifi, linsoul etc.
Its usually like $1-$2 more...
@@TechHyped nice, thanks, I wasn't sure if that extra button means volume controls or just "pause" or something else.
I'm shopping on an aliexpress equivalent, which only has Chinese on it, as I stay in Taiwan and that's what they use here (TaoBao) so yeah, thanks again.
I am still thinking between blon bl03 and soundmagic e11c. Any help
Haven't testes the e11c, so can't help you there, bud ;/
Is it worth upgrading from KZ ZSN Pro to blon 03? :x
Oh, I haven't listened to the ZSN Pro in a while. Wouldn't be fair to say "YES" rushing it like this, but from memory, I'd say it is.
Blon 03 sounds *amazing* , I haven't listened to ZSN Pro but based on the reviews it should've been an easy yes to upgrade it to blon 03.
One thing to consider tho, you need to change the eartips & cable of blon 03 to maximize it's full potential.
Dandy Rayhan haven’t switched the cables and they’re 👌🏻 still, but the tips I’d say can be a “must-do” if you can go for foam ones... sure as hell makes a difference!
If compare to cca c10, which one is better ?
Havent heard the c10 properly, so can’t compare. Sorry bud
Different sound signatures depends on what you like
@@DennisJosephin i like neutral, but still get a little bass kick, which one is better ?
@@silverbluemaurice I would suggest Blon 03 for its generic v-shape and universal appeal to all. It is a bass and treble emphasized iem
Blon bl03 or cca c12 which is better
Couldn't say. Have yet to test the c12 properly.
Are the sound stage good for pc fps games??
Yep. Use them for competitive shooter titles sometimes.
I am hoping to buy Xiaomi anc 3.5mm .. and found your video here.. which one do you think will sound better? Blon 03 or mi anc? Keep it note that mi anc has hybrid triple driver where blon has may be 2driver or 1😐😐
Amount of drivers doesn’t mean better sound, but as I haven’t heard the Anc, can’t really say much here ;/
Sorry hehe
@@TechHypedokay then,, after watching your review i changed my mind that I should buy the blon 03. But as a gamer or a bass lover would you still prefer this?
Excellent bass response and its a fun IEM for gaming as well.
I’d say Blon BL05 over the 03, tho.
Can I use this without dac?
If you mean a dedicated dac, yeah... sure!
But if you wanna be REALLY pedantic about it, one could say basically everything that’s not 100% analog has some sort of dac built in the mix... lol 🤣
@@TechHyped actually I mean can I use this on my phone or laptop without ekstras. I will use it casually for that how about gaming performance(distance and direction for fps games like cs go pubg) and microphone performance. Currently I have jbl t110 and want something much better than this jbl.
Yeah, I got the idea hehe. You can use it just fine without an external dac, no problem.
As to performance for gaming, its a great little deal. Good mids and highs, good soundstage, altho it sometimes feels slightly “enhanced”, and the bass is 🤘🏻.
That said, if you rather have something with little/no low end to enhance footsteps and that sort of stuff, this isn’t it.
I’ve gamed a lot with them with no issues, so to my tastes its more than fine.
What I can’t say much about is the mic quality... didn’t test the version with the mic wire, but I’d assume its “barely alright”, because its a wire mic.... nothing special.
Is this suitable for gaming? like csgo or valorant?
Yep. For a super competitive environment, if you wanna quell the low end a bit just 'cause you're used to, the T2s are a better option (probably, and video on them coming this weekend btw), but the quality of the low end on these is just too tasty to throw away.
I'd game on these every day if I had to... And I say "had to" because I have loads of other stuff to test and try, but you catch my drift ;D
@@TechHyped Just got into IEMs, waiting for the blons to deliver and im pretty excited to try these on and use for gaming. Oh and thank you for the response
Jetro D 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Please compare these to Rock Obsidian
Rock Obsidian? Alright, putting them on the list ;)
@@TechHyped thank a lot!!
Ayo dat was some good quality right there bru !
Thanks bro! Appreciate it
this vs zsn pros?
This or BL05.
Just got them for $22 on drop!
They didn’t work for me with the stock tips. After changing the tips, they came to life. The bass was slamming nicely. They are very enjoyable.
Occasionally, I found them a bit harsh on trebles.
Example : Roxette - Good Karma. Between 0:47 and 1:02
Still a great IEM, and would totally recommend them too.
I actually switched the tips permanently to the ones that came with my Tins and been using them like that. Much improved comfort, seal AND it also helped the sound signature come a bit more alive as well.
Tech Hyped So you’re not using the Tin’ 2’s? Or it came with several tips that worked on both earphones?
Marian M oh I’m using the Tins, heck yeah, its just that whenever I use the blons, I’m using them with the foam tips hehe.
I agree with everything you said Marian. While the treble can get a bit overly exciting at higher volume and depending on the recording (the part you mentioned is harsh on everything but the dullest, warmest headphones/speakers if you ask me), it's definitely managable. The stock tips are subpar imho. As is the case with every IEM, the correct fit for YOUR ears is incredibly important. The tips really made the difference from an absolutely okay to a really, really impressive IEM. I like the blue Tin tips as well and used them for a while on the BLONs, but the porous nature of them seems to soften the sound a bit (not always in a good way). I found a pair of high quality silicone tips from an old pair of Pioneer IEMs. They are fairly big (bigger than the usual tips I use) and rather flexible and have a bigger opening but damn.. match made in heaven. They seal in a way that makes the bass very punchy but still precise(ish, considering the price and the bass hump), adds to the soundstage and gives an exciting yet not overbearing treble (all compared to the blue Tin 2 tips and the stock garbage). Sorry for the wall of text.
TLDR; Make sure you test a lot of different tips with these! Your ears will thank you.
Couldn't have said it better... Tips are extremely important for the fit of IEMs, and can make or break the experience.
It's just like with headphones and speakers, and anything related to sound, really... What's good or works for someone else, doesn't automagically works or is good for you, so always experiment! ;)
Make more videos live your channel. And more recommendations please make a video on comparing blon bl03 with expensive earphones like 150$ and 200$.
That video will kill it
Thx bro!
Is it safe to order from linsoul?
Gurleen Shergill never had any issues with them, so can’t really say anything negative here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is blon bl 03 good for pubg ?
Yes
Yes
love that broll tho
Thanks! Broll using a phone's camera isn't easy haha.
Great video in terms of looks, style, information, pacing. You seem very likeable which helps! More of the same, man!
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it ;)
Forgot this guy existed also he lost weight
Well, seems like UA-cam reminded you haha. And yeah! Hope I don’t find that weight back as well lol
The color grading on your skin tones look off.
Yes it does, at least a little bit... Had a weird sort of sun-burn tan going on as well which didn't make things easy haha. But you're right, color grading was off.
nice face tan
The blon 3s ear fit is terrible. the 2s fit way better
U can change the eartips if that helps
If u buy blon, spinfit cp100 or 100+ is a must have eartips and to some extent u have to change the cables which will impact the sound hugely.
Cables make no difference to sound quality in my experience. Have tried quite a few. Also with eartips the problem was with early batches like the ones in this video 2 years back. Nowadays the one they come with are just fine.
@@flopcorn4124 yes the stock eartips are better than before but not for my ears and maybe I got a bad stock cable idk man but after buying an after market cable they sound alot better for me.
@@shafinzaman9955 yes eartips may do that. Whatever fits best man it's all about quality experience 😊
