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.

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.

Oo do they come with type C now? I have a 3.5 mm version. Excellent rumblers for given price. Very clean low end.

Both have a weird fit, so probably aren't the best buy nowadays. It has trouble staying in the ear because of its shape. The new one has a less weird connector for the cable, which is a good thing. However, they made the tuning worse, so it's not really an IEM anyone recommends. It's pretty meh for the price range and you still have the problems with the weird fit. The original BL03 is a bit of a classic and still holds up for how it sounds, if you want a fun-sounding but competent IEM with good bass and reasonable technicalities. However the stock cable is crap and the weird connector makes it awkward to get a replacement. It's TFZ, but even TFZ cables don't fit perfectly because they made it nonstandard. They fit securely, but there's a gap that doesn't look quite right. I would suggest instead looking at something like the KBear KB01, which is around the same price and is a better IEM overall. Not exactly the same tuning, but it still has decent bass and an overall balanced tuning that works for most music. When you get your phone without an audio jack, buy a dongle DAC at that time. For Apple, you may want to stick with the Apple dongle. For Android, the JCally JM6 Pro is the most recommended. This also has a bit more power, which you won't need for these, but might be useful in the future if you get something else that's harder to drive.

You should try Blon bl03 (warm tuning) or reecho sg01 (more balanced). Among the pictures you showed I have only tried the tangzu waner and moondrop chu 2 and between those I'd go for the tangzu waner.

If you want warm meaty bassy thick tonality sound signature, just go for blon BL03 OG version, man! what a Dynamic driver, powerful mature DD! Loved it or elua ultra both have wide sound stage but elua is latest dual DD which is far better than the kiwi ears cadenza n Blon blo3

Nope wan'er 2 is basically for vocal lovers thinner sound signature also. Cadenza is also thin not meaty bassy like elua ultra.. But in my opinion Blon BL03 is all round winner 🎉

My first was the original Blon. No I don't regret it, I still have it. It served me well for a few years. Knowing what I know now, I'd go straight for an endgame set and call it a day. But, if I also wanted a sub $100 set, I'd go for either the Juzear Defiant or Ew300.

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!
