The versality of Blon 03 is incredible.

[NTHiNG]

Best Mids - C
Balanced Bass and fuller - E
Heavy bass and narrower - F
Clarity and tuning - B
Thin but clear - D
Good mids & full - A

[soybeing]

ba5 and tin t3 are still my favourites, full sound and gorgeous vocals and they sound like they'd be the least fatiguing in time

[McanoLasala]

B for the tuning and E for the tonality. Both sound the most coherent to me.

[drac.]

Word of warning: don't listen to the first song with earbuds, it felt like my eardrums were going to explode!

[rialdoroeloffze]

Wow I can actually audibly hear that the BA5 has a much more natural soundstage despite youtube compression and it not really being the same as with them in the ear.
Very impressive from BA5

Looking at the comment section, it looks like every IEM is good (or every one is bad), depending on which comment you select at random. Everyone's ears and preferences are simply different. Good thing I only need to follow what I like, and this sound test is very useful in telling me that. Thanks as always for doing the work.

[syedmehmoodulhassan]

Please try to play same sound on each one by one, tracks keep changing during straight runs which makes it difficult to judge😞

[LiloVLOG]

The worst for me is A and C, all others are very good IEM. BA5 still very good, wanna try CA16 live.

[jesusbecerraaguilar]

the star field is clearly the best of the group and the Bl03 for its price a great option 👍

[jedemar]

BA5 seems to be in another level across all samples

[outofthebx]

The winners for me were Bl03 - amazing sound for the money, though clearly not as detailed as the rest, CCA CA16 - have a feeling it will work well across genres. TC01 is the best of the bunch here obviously. I could live with the BA5s too. I heard your other Star field audio test too, and for the money - not enough details in the highs for me. Thank you for taking the effort to do this - it's worth a thousand video/written reviews!

It is very intresting to me to hear that test. I listened to it with some relatively good headphones (the beyerdynamic BT 880 - they lack a bit in the bass department but are quite good for monitoring - so I chose them).
I continued to listen to all tracks and whenever I was listening to a new can on your screen I was taking a note in the form of + (positive) - (negativ) and / (neutral).
Based on that method I noticed wich I simply enjoyed the most (wich is the point for me with IEM). I than added up the + (0 points) - (2 points) and / (1 point) - so lowest points win with this method.

So for me the ladder looks like this D (Tin T3 1 point) - it never excited me much but also never really disappointed - it is enjoyable to listen to.
A (TC01 3 points one negative and minus ) - It is exciting to me to listen to - but at one point there was too much treble close to the end of the video wich I didn't like.... but I might still buy these.
F (CA 16 4 Points all neutral) - to me the sound almost the same as A - never strucked me negativly
B and C with 6 points each BA5 seemed a bit tini at times and had a bit of artifacts - the starvield have no negativ points but bored me a bit - never struck me as exciting or intresting so a lot of neutrals
And surprisingly E the all famous and beloved BL 03 come last with 7 points. 2 times it struck me negativly as dull or muddy.

just redid the test with different headphones (m100 planer) -pretty much confirmed this very unscientific test for me. I think this is not necessary the best way to base me buying decision on but it definetly helps. I would like a test with a bit more variety in music style tbh.
Anyway thanks for all the hard work you put in and have a nice day

[edowins]

Please keep uploading this kind of sound test bro. I will always support you. Your sound test so far sounds nearly accurate towards my real experience listening the IEM that you tested. I used hzsound mirror as my gear to hear your sound test, and it gave me almost the same result in real life and end up leads me to buy ks1, tc01, and blon mini.

[handlemonium]

B & D sound the clearest IMO ~ at least while listing on my Samson SR850s.

I might pick up a pair of Tin T3s in the coming months. They go for $50 during the monthly sale on Aliexpress ;)

Can't wait for the KBEAR Lark review!

[marcelofernandomartins]

I have a BA5 with eartips CP100, and cable KZ Bluetooth 5.2 APTX HD. It's currently my main in ear, and of course using a 10 band EQ.

[mrtonytex]

Well I identified the TC01 and Blon very easily. The Starfield I liked sometimes but was unsure if it was no C or not
BA5 and C16 I could sense it sounded balanced armature. The T3 I just did not like.

[itzikca]

I mean, its through earphones and a microphone and then earphones again... but the blon bl03 sounded most natural to me

[ovrkill]

My pick were either B or D and I ultimately picked D. Interesting to hear BA5 and Tin T3 which I neither owned. Listening using a TWS though, Fiil T1 Pro.
