Never bought the original O3 because back in the day I didn't know much about this hobby and the reviews varied from a reviewer to a reviewer and I was unsure who to believe. Now I know I should've gotten it back then
Any chance they will make these in a dark brown colour? Please Linsoul make them…👍🏾
These are a perfect gateway set to fall down this crazy rabbit hole of a hobby! 🙂 Happy new year!
Budget rocks. No need to be snobby about it. Each to their own. Enjoy the music. Nice video.
omg. another budget i need to buy! curse this hobby! i mean no qdc, alone that is great.
Definitely a good example of how to release a successor product. Keep the DNA strong to the previous and fix/improve the criques of the last. I think that if you change too much, it's not really a sequel anymore, it's a new product trying to use a name people think positively about.
Guys hear me out for a sec. I just saw this video and wanted to share that i really hope that they managed to keep the timbre what many of us thinks makes the BL03 so special and different to other iems regardless of price for years.
I owned or listened many headphone and iem some of them are like considered to be high end end game stuff including HD800S, HD600, HD660S, IE900, IE200, DT1990 Pro, DT990 Pro and countless of chi-fi iems like Fiio FH3, Moondrop Aria, Tin T2 & T3+ but in the end i sold most of them because the technicality doesn't guarantee that you will not just like but "love" the timbre and sound of an iem or headphone. What i'm keeping in my collection today includes Shure KSE1500 (which i recently bought and stopped the iem game, it's a real end-game technical performance which is just not comparable to any other high end in ear stuff no matter the price), Timeless AE (good price to performance with fast driver and a well tuned overall balance but needs some EQ to sound natural), Hzsound Heart Mirro (not the Pro, the OG one which has the same dynamic driver Blon BL03 uses so the timbre is just as natural and lively) and of course i have 2 Blon BL03 (i had 3 but traded one of them recently) one gunmetal color which i've been using since 2020 for literally everyday and it's still perfectly working other than it's paint chipped because of the drops on the hard surface many times and a purple BL03 as my backup set today. 2020 production has a bit warmer bass so better note weight compared to other ones i bought recently but has the same magical "something" in their tuning which i can not get from ANY OTHER iem nor headphone… They just can not give you the magical, emotional, natural feeling of what BL03 gives even with some heavy a..s EQ experiments on different iems and headphones. I managed to get almost identical tunings with heavy EQing on different stuff just to hope i may get a better technical performance with a better iem while keeping that naturality BL03 offers but i just can not get that what does BL03 the BL03… It still is my daily iem for casual use like watching something, playing game, talking in discord etc. It's just have that perfect effortless natural sound. And i want to also share that it's easily the most comfortable iem i've ever used in my life even when compared to the stuff which gets praises by being comfortable like the IE900 or this Shure iems… BL03 has a shell which is almost like a custom molded shell for my ears idk… And after seeing it with a black coating in it's revision 2, i don't have any other chance but buying a pair lol… If there anyone else thinking the same things like me, please share what other stuff you tried and find just as natural and "emotional" sounding like the BL03 if you ever find any. My hands still goes grabs my BL03s from the drawer, not the KSE1500, not the Timeless AE, and definitely wouldn't grab the overpriced IE900 too because i just don't want nor need to hear every miniscule detail in the music with those highly technical sets. That doesn't really attracts me to be able to hear the song with a microscope like my KSE1500s, if i don't enjoy the sound and getting that goosebumps everytime my favorite band hits that punch line in the song (i'm looking at you Nirvana the man who sold the world, or R.E.M Losing my religion…) So having a highly technical set does offer you a "high quality" sound and time to time i go grab those iems and listen to things but that still doesn't make me find myself with my hands, feets or my head holding rythm of what i'm listening at that moment like i do with my BL03s… Thanks for the review HBB! i really appreciated for the sharing.
Glad they sorted the ergonomics out may look into this at some point
Whoa, there was no news from a long time ago, then it came suddenly surprising me. really blon me away🗿
Merry Xmas
And the king is back
I like the mat black, and it's two pin. I'll have to get this updated blon for my dad.
Nice to see a decent set for a decent price.
Nice review. Good to hear it’s a worthy follow-up. Mine are waiting to ship from Linsoul. Definitely didn’t NEED it 😂. But always like having new gear and matte black looks nice.
i will keep my tangzu, tried these but hated wires,fitting .
4.4 blon 03 let's goo
Man….Now I have to go dig out my OG 300s. They were a key part of why I’m here today. What a great little set. Glad to see this useful update of an all time classic.
Crazy that they were able to keep the price that low now that everything is getting so expensive.
nice comeback for a legendary set at this point
B-LON? Or BLON?
I like budget sets quite a bit. I feel there is generally more variation between budget sets as opposed to variances between high end sets. At least from what I've tried. And probably because it's easier to try more when they're budget
Yo which tws do u use ?
When the levee breaks the beginning isnt thet powerful at all. At least not to me anyway.
Assuming its as good as the original, just the improvement in cable quality, connector type, and hopefully comfort, they're definitely worth the price!
Oh yiss another iem right in my price range and it looks waaay better then the OGs blons.
Shout out to HBB here on calling how 30usd can be a lot of money to some people. In my country, spending this kind of money on a iem is a lot, and having a set that is enjoyable and actually good at this price is very good. This is not my price bracket but a lot of people start or even finish there.
It was my first IEM back in the day, and over time I learned more about the subject, changing filters and grilles. Looking at cables and such… All the Blon03s I've had have cracked open like shells, I hope the same doesn't happen to them with this review.
I have several QKZ x HBB, I've changed filters and grilles, and with cables and impedance adapters, none of them have broken and they sound better than the Blon03, at least to me.
I think they're the first ones you should buy.
Merry christmas!
Great review. I’m struggling with the fit of the 03 II. The nozzles are too short for my ears or something. Once I got it to fit it sounds great
Might have to take a look at some BLON sets
Never tried a BLON, but not heard too much bad about them. But it's a common recommendation I see 😀
Been waiting for this one! Was thinking about getting the og version but heard this one is coming out. Looks like an upgrade
For such a respected classic, I think they could have done something different, i get it, just a little tweak but… im not hyped by these!! You can get way more interesting sets nowadays…
The blo3 and urban fun sets were my intro to this hobby and have strong feelings of their importance in the hobby. Please do not be a snubbed of them and the inroads they have made. I will get this just to have the next iteration of the 03. Thank you HBB for starting my journey on the iem road😂
These vs the Kefine Klean
Good shout, so many iems it’s great to find the little gems, and great to hear you shout out the community comes in all shapes and sizes, budgets, and responsibilities. Glad to hear when a good $30 set land, keep it up
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Must be a banger for the buck!
