"For 30ish dollars this Blon Bl-03 II is a no brainer. ... I think the BL03 II punches above its price, is trading blows with my Inawaken Dawn ms an Kefine Klean, is a iem who worth its price."

"The bass is so thumping and tight without sounding muddy."
"The treble in these are so refined it's amazing. ... I've seen few kz in this price completely overdo the treble in the name of openness and clarity but instead end up making it shouty and harsh. But blon just kicked it out of the park."

"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"

"Technicalities are more than good in this guys, macro and microdetails are above its price, the timbre is so natural, imaging is excellent, and the soundstage is incredibly huge. ... The soundstage is wider than the TKZK TK02, the imaging is better and is more transparent. ... a wider soundstage and good imaging, is so transparent and the macro and microdetails retrieval is punching above its price."

"The only problem i encountered with the Blon is the stock cable, supposedly is better (not my words), but nah, I stole the stock cable of the Kefine Klean and atm that's all the fix i needed for this guys."
"The wax buildup, cleaning, wire problems, pin problem are no joke when it comes to cheaper iems, they break easily. ... I have had moondrop sparks, blon 03, tangzu wan'er, monk plus etc and although they sound great, they all had some problems within a year or two. ... Also as an iem owner i wouldn't suggest buying it if they are thinking of using it for longer sessions."

"I like a bumping BLON 3 type sound when I ’m out and about, but for an eyes closed at home session, the salnotes 7hz zero v1 have a presentation that is more source faithful and reward you for attentive listening"

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. ->Blon BL03ii with a fun sound sig for music.
r/headphonesindia • Suggest me good wire earphone under 2K. ->Get the bl03ii. Has more resolution vs 03 and more controlled base. I have both and keep switching between the two.
r/iems • What is your favorite IEM and why ? ->Two different approaches to the same problem. 03ii is exactly the same as og. The cable connection has receded inside the iem shells, the black one feels nicer to hold in hand, better cable are all the physical things that were changed in 03ii. So you will face the exact same problem with 03ii. Edit: changed word to problem
r/iems • What is your favorite IEM and why ? ->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) ->KZ Saga Balanced are one of the best musical IEM's with solid bass performance in the price range. The BL-03 II is very similar to the BL-03, its a little crisper, and more detailed than the OG. But its OK to sacrifice some of the OG's note weight for more detail and texture. I also think the new BL-03 II is built a little better, has a nice cable, and fits better in the ear. I would suggest Spinfit Omni's or Dunu Candy tips for it though. The stock tips are...meh. Though it is a more gaming oriented IEM, the 7Hrz G1 is also very nice and V shaped in its tuning.
r/iems • Best iem for electronic music / techno under 30€? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
