Hello,I’m looking for budget iem but there are too many on the cheap side so i wanted to get help from experienced person.My budget is 100$ i like clarity,vocal presence detail.Considering these,what would you suggest,tin t2 and blon03 are in my list for now,i would be very happy if someome compares these two.
I would recommend the LZ A6 mini IF you dont mind the recessed male vocals in it. the sound quality is absolutely spectacular at this price point (around 70 usd) because it was priced at 180 usd a few months ago. Otherwise some other choices would be.
Moondrop starfield
Mesh modded Blon 03
TRN Ba5 (dont have this, but heard it is good for vocals)

Definitely no to the BL-03 for those things, that is not it’s strong point at all. From what I hear the Tin T2 is much better for what you are talking about.
Also check out the Moondrop Starfield if you can afford it. That’s a really good one around that budget.
Have you tried the mesh mod? It makes the bass tighter, faster and overall the sound becomes very clean and detailed at a very low price point.
No, not sure what you are referring to. I think they are great for bass and have some cool imaging stuff but I would never describe them as a clear or detailed sound. They are warm and very bassy. I have tried many different tips on them. How would mesh make them sound more clear?
Looks like a pain in the butt to do for me. I would rather not mess with the filters on IEMs, they are super fragile. I just think the other problem imo is that the fit on the BL-03 is not good, and the stock cable has to be replaced. I’m just saying there are better options that don’t require a ton of DIY stuff and modifications.
it was extremely easy to do, but yeah some people might not want to do that. But the sound you get with that mod is just amazing. I didnt like the blon as much before since the bass was too lose and sounded boomy, but now it is tight and very clean. Along with the first class timbre in it, amazing.
I’m sorry, what?
Maybe it worked for you. I just have a hard time believing that could change the sound entirely like you are saying.
well im not the only one that did it though, but it mainly fixed the bass for me and also increased details by increasing the lower treble quantity.
I find somewhere in the treble on these to be harsh to my ears. I guess that’s great if it worked for you. There are other things I have now though that for my music and tastes sound much better than the BL-03.
Hmm… Wonder if I can just take some of the filters that came with my starfields and put them on my BL03 when they come in…
if that is the case then the mod will probably make it even harsher for you, although I have never seen anyone say the blon is harsh before.
hmmm the filters that Moondrop supplies the starfield (and also the KXXS) seems to be thicker than the ones you buy on aliexpress (the super cheap ones) so that might have a different effect on the blon. Although you could try it and then just remove it if you dont like it. As it is very easy to remove the mod.
I think I am sensitive around 2khz, and it does seem like there is a peak there for these.
