Alternatively:
BL-03 is $27 at linsoul.com, probably ships faster than Drop.

Or additional 10% off if you buy two with code BLON2PCS
ymmv, but free shipping and no tax in my case.

I got these recently from a sale. You have 99% odds of needing new tips that are 2-4mm longer than normal for these things because the stem is way too short relative to the body. The included tips are typical generics. I found it impossible to get a seal with the included tips because the stock tips won't reach far enough into the ear canal. If you do some google searching, you'll find that this is an extremely common complaint with these. I was only able to get them to work with some extra long foam tips I had lying around. I really wonder if the original designer had intended this thing for a longer tip as standard, but something got lost on procurement.

Here's the Blon compared to a KZ ZSN. Seriously, look how stubby the stem is. It either needs to have been way longer for generic tips to work, or it should have been packaged with extra long tips to begin with.
i have over a dozen pairs of iems in the sub-$100 category and these are among the best in terms of sound signature, imo. other folks have noted fitment issues but i didn't run into any using the stock tips. the cable isn't great** but it gets the job done without being a tangle monster. i honestly think these are the best iems money can buy at this price.

** at the consumer level, all cables perform the same in terms of sound quality; don't let anyone convince you otherwise. i only judge cables in terms of look, feel, fit around the ear, sturdiness, and their tangle potential. BL03 cable fits me fine, looks meh, tangles a little, but works fine.
Best for under $100? Pretty bold statement. I think the Tin T2 are definitely up there. The cable is so much better than than the Bl-03. The Blon is definitely a fun IEM though and worth the price.

Also, Linsoul regularly has it for 26.99 I bought my pair there. might be quicker than the detailed ship date on drop.

The mics usually are fragile on these chifi products. I avoid them.

I am also a big fan of the BL03. So much that I have two pairs. But be aware that the cable and tips are not very good. I suggest replacing both, but that will bring up the total cost of ownership a bit. Unless you you are a nut like me with some 100 spare tips and tens of spare cables lying around...

With the tips you need to find a way to make them extend further out from the base of the ear pieces. One trick is to cut the base of a tip that you will never use and stick it below the tip you plan to use.

Once you get the right fit, you are in for a sound treat. These are not the most neutral sounding iem that you can buy, but the sound is awesome. The special thing about the Blon is the natural timbre (instruments sound right). Enjoy it.

Mine's useful as a mic for calls on my phone or computer. Recording quality is average. The cable is replaceable and the mic is lightweight and doesn't affect music use, so I'd say it's worth getting.

Love my BL-03s. I wouldn't mind another pair, and this is probably better than buying from Aliexpress.

Edit: FYI, the $10 off for joining the email list only works on products $50 and up. It doesn't seem to work on two of these.

Edit2: 5% Discover it Cashback for Paypal.
