The video is in Arabic.
Hey everyone,
The BLON BL-01 is a single 10 mm dynamic driver, 102 dB sensitivity and 16 ohm according to the company. It’s full metal, and its 4-core cable (the same as the BL-03) uses a 2-pin connector. It was about $22 (about 80 riyals) on AliExpress at the time of the review, and my unit has no mic.
Who is it for?
- Anyone who doesn’t like any harshness and wants something easy on the ears, with slightly lifted bass. Excellent for Arabic songs.
Strengths
- Excellent bass, great with sustained deep bass, and the mid-bass is clear and slightly forward.
- Female vocals are clear with no harshness.
- The treble is smooth and clear with no harshness, and its layers are clear.
- Micro detail is very good, and it’s comfortable for long periods despite the heavy metal.
- For Arabic songs (voice, detail and layers) it’s one of the best IEMs I’ve used.
Weaknesses
- It needs more power than similar IEMs, and a phone won’t give it everything: it needs an amp or a DAC.
- Male vocals are a bit muffled, the mids overall sit back, and the mid-bass covers some micro detail.
- Sounds that are meant to be sharp in some recordings come out muffled.
- Imaging is good only left and right, weak in other directions, and isolation is average.
Verdict
If the imaging were better, it would be one of the best IEMs under $100. It needs burn-in (I gave it about 70 hours and the bass improved), and personally I’ll add it to my collection.
Note: this review is from 2021, so price and availability may have changed.
