![]() ![]() The creation of BL-03 has many bassheads having a field day. ![]() Snare drums and hi hats sound organic and warm, very natural. The sub bass is equally pleasant, luscious and rich like cocoa butter. Bass notes from Khruangbin’s Time (You and I) are coloured and enjoyable to savour. The attack of both sub and mid bass are fast and even though there is slow and thicc decay, it does not bleed into the mids/make muddy the mids, and this is one of the winning qualities of BL-03, which places it into IEM price brackets I dare say 10-15 times the price, in the Sub $500 IEM price region. This speaks quality, and I mean dollops of it.Īh, the mids. It goes without saying that BL-03 is acclaimed because of its mids as well. ![]() Mids are forward sounding and coloured, and it is a formidable powerhouse, tonally pleasing and ever poised for coherent musicality. When considering the mids, everything else falls into its rightful place. Mids are not recessed at all, which speaks volumes of the BLON sound engineers’ knowledge when creating the BL-03s. Male and female vocals sound airy, crisp and warm, but not to the point of sibilance. ![]() BLON BL-03 is truly a gem in the aspect of mids, easily overthrowing mids of higher priced iems out there. There is lots of sparkle in the highs, and highs are non fatiguing as well, which make for enjoyable listens. The highs sound a tad dark, so this might not be for listeners who like bright sounding highs. What is not the highs: it is not hot, it is not sharp and piercing, it is notįorward sounding imaging, when I close my eyes I can visualise the band and vocalists in a small studio. These buds have holographic and 3D soundstage and in my humble opinion, I dare say are a better listen when compared to higher priced iems that I own. The BL-03 has a great deal of instrumental and vocal separation. Everything is just so… tight, and that’s a precursor to being a good IEM that punches way above its price class. This is by far the most musical sounding IEM in the market sub $500, albeit not the most analytical. Don’t expect it to be a kilobuck annihilator, but have the frame of mind that this could be a cheap thrill into the utopian realms of auditory nirvana in the sub $500 price bracket. I know, some may criticise and think: To compare with sub-$500? Are you out of your mind?! Hold up, let me clarify your doubts. ![]()
