"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"delivers the full package here. ... betting the house regarding this on this pair was fully worth it. ... It matches up (I would not say surpasses) a lot of wired in-ear monitors within this price bracket and slightly above. ... The prowess it shows in keeping the instrument separation clean is something that I really, really appreciate myself for buying this pair, not to mention the rumbly yet controlled, precise lows keep on coming and the highs soar without spice, without hurting your ears."
"Nothing short of a home run, here- the Ear once again brings me all; the way the bass hits on this track is very impactful but not bloated, punchy but not overpowering, and Kendrick’s powerful vocals shine through bright, while I enjoyed the way the Sax keeps on coming in at the right junctions of the song, and the way the cymbals play out on this track is probably one of the best I have heard through amongst all the gear that I have owned and currently own- the first in a wireless, and one of the few if I consider all. ... the timbre sounds natural and uncoloured"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"that thing was my work horse for years."
"These things are VERY durable in my experience. ... I've accidentally sat on them, banged them against the wall and table, slept on them, my cat even grabbed them and ran away dragging the IEMs on the floor, and yet they still feel and function the same as DAY 1."
"made of metal and feels like a tank yet also light"

"Idk how to explain it. But i just love the type of bass that bass Guitar gives, it's not uncomfortable at all. ... Blon mids are just so clear yet bassy as well. soo good. ... I am not a sound expert but i think blon has some bass type of thing in mid frequencies. It's type of bass not tired to listen."
"have amazing amounts of bass."
"Is a more balanced tuning, and its noticeable, you don't miss the bass shelf at all, in fact, is more defined, is fast, with a good amount of sub and mid bass presence, so even in bass heavy tracks is so enjoyable. ... The mids, as the graphic shows, better upper mids so is better with male and female vocals, and the instruments sounds good aswell. ... The highs, again, look at the graph, better treble and is a little more extended than the og, so is a pleasant and not sibilant surprise. ... the Bl-03 is more bassy and the bass kick is more noticeable, the mids are less forwarded but the uppermids are so well tuned so is better in the vocal department, the highs are more crisp ... Yup, is the same type of bass, is fast, defined, punchy and not bleeds into the mids, i loved that"

"my razer black widow that broke only a year and a half. ... The A key became unresponsive. ... It was actually the second one i got that had the same issue, but the first one lasted 4 years and one of those were during lockdown so i chalked it up heavy use. The second one broke within the two year warranty ... Razer sucks dont buy their stuff. ... I've had nothing but trouble with razer products, even straight out the box I've had issues a couple of times."

"Well, I do agree with the trash cable part of the comment in reference to QKZ x HBB. I disliked that cable more than any other stock cable I ’ve come across and couldn’t replace it fast enough."
"The cable was atrocious"
"the default one absolutely will not allow for a proper fit and stay there."

im currently using blon bl03 version 1 , which is good for valorant but not perfect one. actually what i come to know that every person has its own sound taste regarding his capability of listening , some love bass some hate , some love treble some hates. so i concluded that before buying a new iems just give a 30% conclusion on reviews, 30% on graphs and rest is your risk of buying new iems. but look at graph first and analyze that are you a bass guy or treble guy or if you buying for gaming then you need good treble and good mids and a slightly bass and a best proper sound staging helps directional sounds so keep these things in your mind and you are good to go. and 1 thing more i will definetly give a try to em6l than supermix 4 heard that supermix 4 sound staging is somehow become harsh when sudden frags and guns fires sounds collectively coming from same direction on in team fight supermix 4 become harsh which effect sound staging.
r/iems • Best Budget IEMs For Valorant ->Blon BL-03 was my first real introduction and the only thing I regret is letting the hobbyist and collector mindset consume me. I now have too many IEMs and too little money!
r/iems • I'm an IEMs absolute noob, and I wanted to give them a try. What was your first IEMs? Do you regret it? What would you get as a first cheap one if you could do it again? ->Iem user for over 10 years now. Never had any issues with iems. Wanted to tey hps anf got Lcd2c. Sold it off and went back to my iems. Speakers are still king followed by iems to me. Budget ones that you can look into are: Waner Zero/Zero 2 Chu ii Gate Blon 03 i/ii
r/IndianGaming • earphone over headphones nowadays.. ->I do not play games online. Mine are all single player games and my Blon bl03i/bl03ii has been phenomenal for gaming.
r/iems • Are IEMs really good for gaming? I have a doubt. ->My journey was something like this: Got Hifiman Re400 Waterline back in 2016. It was neutral. Loved it. One year after the cable insulation fell apart. Audio Technica IM70. Harder hitting bass. Highs were a little subdued. Used it for 2 years. Then the cable connector stopped working and I couldn't find a cable replacement as connector was proprietary. Asked a friend to get me Ibasso IT01 from US in 2019. I do not remember much about its sound. But the connector was mmcx and it sucks. One of the earpiece ended up with a loose connection. Between 2019 and 2021, I got Dunu Dk2001, Obravo Cupids and Bravado. Liked them, specifically Bravado and Dunu. But Bravado had driver flex and it was very bad in that aspect. Sold all of them off. End of 2021 after Covid restrictions were lifted in my country, I had switched jobs and I was looking for some better iems (I could invest some more money into them). Fortunate meeting with a dude (who turned out to be a very good friend later on) made me experience some iems and those blew my mind. And luckily for me, he was looking to sell all of his iems as he was in need of money. Inear PP8. Blew me away. I bought it off him. Then Oriolus MK2 (bought it for my then gf and now wife), Oriolus Mellianus (detail monster without being harsh). Pears SH3. I understood with SH3, it is the tuning that matters and not the number of drivers. Bought both Mellianus and SH3 from him. And all at very good prices. All of this was between 2021 and 2022. Starting 2022, I got a few more iems. Oriolus Isabella. Such beautiful mids. I eqed the lowend. Gave me a lot of joy. Next was Oriolus Szalayi. I was looking for an iem pair with heavy lowend. Sza delivered. It is still my favorite pair. With Isa, I started on the single dd path. I got FAudio Dark Sky next. Wonderful sound. Then I had a chance to buy Inear SD5 wooden shell. Loved it too. Thicker lowend than PP8, but PP8 was still better as an alrounder. I got Letshouer S12 and liked it but the upper mids sounded harsh to me. I changed the cable to one with a mic and it is relegated as my calling iem. I was looking for a cheap but good iem pair that I can use while travelling. Bought Juzzear 61T. Liked it a lot as it has very good lows and mids and highs were good too. My wife liked how it looked and sounded and thus it became her iem. She has two now. Last year I bought both Blon BL03 i and ii for regular use, and they still are my daily driver. And with this I was all done with my iems. I got out. Start of this ear, I started looking into flathead earbuds. Started with VE Monks lite. Then got for myself the Fiio cheap flathead pair. Then two of the Faaeal earbuds and Ry4s. I will get one last earbuds pair sometime later and then drop out. During Corona, I was stuck at my hometown and since I packed lightly hoping that I will be back for work, I packed lightly. But alas, I was stuck at my home for about 2 years without my dap and iem. So, what I have done now is, I have kept most of my favourite iems back at hometown in my room. Rest are with me. This way no matter what and where, I just need to carry my dap and I will always have iems to listen to music.
r/iems • What was your first experience with more expensive IEMs like? ->BLON BL-O3 would suit your purposes nicely. I bought one a while back and was very pleasantly surprised. It punches well above its price. Good luck with your search.
r/iems • Recommend me an IEM for less than $100 ->My first IEM was Blon, the second Hidizs, just curious what did you find more exiting than the MP145? I mean, where did you go from there?
r/iems • Must have IEMs in any collection? ->Admittedly from Chifi - got into them during E1001, Whizzer, KZ ZS days and started going down the rabbit hole of "oh this sounds rich, that sounds smooth this neutral that soundstage". 15-20 pairs in, I just got tired of 'chasing' the best sound for the best price because there is always something new and new =/= better. I also worked through dozens of DAC dongles and finally just went TWS for practicality. In hindsight, nothing got me feeling as pleased as my bl03 with foam tips. They sure aren't the the universal best, but to me the sound was so smooth and relaxing. Occassionally I take them out and listen to them at home. But when I'm out and about, I just use my Nothing Ears. But secretly waiting for them to die on me so I can justify a pair of Technics. By the way it's like this with a lot of different hobbies. It's a tiresome cycle but the joys must be worth it for people to do it over n over.
r/iems • I quit ->I don't know how these IEM manufactures interpret "basshead" as someone who loves to hear big explosions that will overpower every other instrument and vocal, instead of punchier, cleaner, hard hitting bass, that won't bleed into other frequencies. It sounds so simple, yet impossible for them to understand. I am currently satisfied with the bass I get on Blon bl03 and performer 5.

r/headphones • Rank your headphones (2025 edition) ->I use blon bl-03.. got them on headphone zone.. it's balanced and amazing.. no exaggerations at all All phones with 3.5 jack have DAC.. Some phones have better quality and with type C connection... Check if your phone has that.. else invest in a DAC
