    went and ordered a pair of Blon BL3 in ears based on the video microkorg posted last week and i'm really impressed.

    they are worn over the ear (with a stiffened end to the cable)... I've tried the 'sports' type clip on in-ears before and i have a couple of pairs (Etymotic Research and Senheiser) that rely on the rubber gasket to hold the earphone in your ear canal (which i hate wearing while walking and find irritating to wear more than an hour a day)... this is a nice compromise.

    the only issue i've had with them so far is that they have a very flat frequency response and i'm used to quite exaggerated bass from in ears - but I thats not really a bad thing... pretty incredible for £35

    • Great to hear you are impressed. I'm going to grab myself a set as cant go wrong for the money.microkorg
    • and a flat response is perfect for reference for music making too. I've read you'll get better sound from them if you get aftermarket memory foam eartips.microkorg
    • and for extra comfort you can get aftermarket cable for like £17-25. It does make total up over £50 but still worth it i read.microkorg
    • IEM enthusiasts reckon the sound of these is that of something 5x the price or more!microkorg
    • I like that guys reviews and i'm thinking of grabbing a set of the ThieAudio Voyager 3 that he rates highest in the $100-200 range.microkorg
    • Did you get yours from Linsoul on Amazon? So many awesome looking affordable IEM's!microkorg
    • Just from a private seller on eBay, he seems to be sold out now. The one complaint I see about these is that the tips that come with them aren't that great...kingsteven
    • it comes with 6 sizes, working my way through them but think i'll try some different shapes to see what works well with my ears before considering an upgrade...kingsteven
    • cheers for the heads up!kingsteven
