Review on 🎧 Linsoul BLON BL03 HiFi 10mm Carbon Diaphragm Dynamic Driver In-Ear Earphone IEM - 0.78mm 2pin Detachable Cable (No Mic, Brown): A Detailed Review and Buying Guide by Ryan Fitch

Initial review: In short, I love these in-ear headphones (IEM). They sound a lot cleaner than the 1 More Triple Driver IEMs I've had before. If you need more information, read on. I'm an audiophile who uses headphones when I run and exercise on the treadmill. I don't like full size headphones so I only use IEMs. I've been using IEM 1More Triple Drivers for work for a few years now and a cheaper pair of Sony IEMs for training. When the Sony headphones broke, I looked for a new pair. Before, I was unfamiliar with Chinese IEM manufacturers like Linsoul, which have revolutionized IEM price/performance. I've been down the rabbit hole of reviews trying to decide between them, but luckily the YouTube channel zplot did a blind test comparing them (I can't post the URL, but after "ULTIMATE CHIFI SOUNDTEST Blon 03 vs TRN BA5 vs Tin T3 vs TFZ T2 seek vs VK4 vs DB3 vs C12 vs ZSX"). In my test I preferred the Bl03 and since they were cheap I decided to give it a try. I ordered the one with a microphone as I use it with my phone. The one I got came black with a different wire than the previous wire which was brown. It's very light and doesn't get tangled too much. It has a 90 degree connector but still goes through my phone case. Bl03 sounds much cleaner than the 1More triple drivers are messier and have less separation between instruments and voices. Voices are a lot more "up front" than I expected, but I think it can only be because these headphones are so much clearer that I hear voices more. They're really good for watching movies during runtime n a treadmill as the dialogue is easy to hear. The Bl03 also has plenty of bass, way more than the 1More Triples. I have really large ear canals so none of the attachments that come with Bl03 fit me, but luckily I've already bought some very large attachments that work well (https://amazon.com/gp/product/ B075ZKVW26/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00 ? ie=UTF8&psc=1). They're quite comfortable, not so easy to wear as they fit over the ears, but one day they don't bother me anymore. I'm very glad I bought them, time will tell how they wear and if they continue to improve with use (I don't do moxibustion). Issue 11/12/2020: After living with them for a while I downgraded my rating from 5 stars to 3. They are very average and lack depth. Now I only use them on the treadmill/bike/rower when watching movies during workouts and they help accentuate the dialogue. I stopped listening to music with them. In fact I now prefer my IEM 1 More Triple Drivers, they are much more versatile. I will say they are very durable as I have snapped and dropped them and they still work, but I wouldn't recommend them for general listening.
