BL 03 Upgrade on a budget (at least for me)
After Blon released the BL-03, many have looked for the 03 mark 2's. For me, this is it. They are the smaller, lighter, more detailed and less bloaty version of the 03's, for not that much more.- Comfort is much better for me, the slimmer and lighter profile makes for a better fit and feel for a long time- Sound quality is just better. More detailed, but still maintains the decent V shaped sound- The cable and tips are meh, I don't think they're a deal breaker, but they're not the best in terms of included accessoriesI tried: Bl-01, BL-03, Tin T2, Tin T4, Starfields and a few more, but I choose to keep these. The Starfields do sound a bit better, even if a bit bland, however I simply cannot justify the price increase for the small jump in quality and drop in fun

Exciting and Fun
I got the Blon BL05s and did a comparison test with the Tin T4. Both I’ve swapped the silicon tips for foam tips and both tested with FiiO K3 plugged to my laptop.Short answer: Blon BL05s hands down beat the Tin T4.But this isn’t saying that the Tin T4 should be shelved; the two sound signatures are good for different approaches. I’ll compare as follows point by point.Blon BL05s:1. Exciting2. Clarity ++ (With Exmag - Somethin’ About Your Love)3. Treble cleaner4. Vocal intimacy ++ (tingling ASMR feeling with LiSA×Uru - 再会)5. Slightly more balanced across all ranges6. Separation ++ (Haywyre - Memory 1:24-2:28)7. Imaging & sound stage the same8. Easier to driveTin T4:1. Relaxed2. A tad muffled compared to BL05s3. Treble laid-back4. Vocal not as pronounced, a bit recessed5. Punchier bass due to the recess of other ranges6. A bit muddled7. Imaging & sound stage the same8. Less than half a click more to drive than BL05sWhile I may prefer the BL05s over the T4 for the excitement, I would see myself enjoying the T4 for relaxation or background music. So the key is the BL05s being the IEM for FUN and the T4 for SOOTHENESS. This is my first BLON, and while people have said things about their stock cable, I find this cable fitting perfect for me and pin straight out of the box. No complaints here. One reminder about the ear tips though, smaller size tips don’t work, the BL05s performs best with completely sealed off ear canals, so larger size ear tips are preferred to bring out the most of this IEM.Tracks for testing:Exmag - Somethin’ About Your LoveLiSA×Uru - 再会 (produced by Ayase) / THE FIRST TAKEHaywyre - Memory
