Product Information

Mids is where the Z300 differ quite alot, it's fuller, warmer, smoother with a more natural timbre and less upper mids sibilance and texture brightness-grainyness than BL03. But it's darker and less open sounding thant BL03 too, definition edge is more blurry and softed and overall resolution is less transparent. Mids dynamic is leaner with the Z300 too, vocal and instrument being less agressive in loudness. The 03 has an in-depth soundstage and feels like it's out of your ears. Except for the feeling I mentioned, bl 03 is a bit better, I may not be neutral about it.

The Z300 is quite easy to drive, but amplification will tighten the bass and improve dynamics. As the Z300 is a warm IEM, pairing it with analytical, neutral or brighter sources would provide better synergy than using it with a warm or analoguish source. Warm + warm may give a muddy signature! If it was 2 years ago, I wouldn't have criticized it, but now we are in 2023. Technically successful models are now down to the 20 band. details are a bit blurry, which causes slight muddying in fast music. Meaning there is a guilty pleasure that HBB was going for a night-out-on-the-town, style of sinfulness. Such an IEM tonal choice exemplifies mood and musicality, offering note-weight and smoothness which by itself conquers many a subtle issue. In simulation games, the redemption of the Z300 occurs. From Project Cars to Forza, this headphone proved to be fascinating for bringing the sound of engines, and at around 35 USD there is no headphone that makes Mercedes AMGs sound like trumpets of the apocalypse as well as this BLON is capable of doing.In this review, I will be discussing the Simgot EM6L, comparing it with the Xenns Mangird Top and QKZ HBB Khan. I have tested the EM6L using the Moondrop Moonriver 2 Ti and Fiio Q3 Dac Amp. But it is in the mids where the difference between the two is most apparent. The graph reveals this. While the Z300s are warm and dense, the C3s are clearer, more transparent and energetic. Their sound is brighter and cleaner, details are more perceptible. Male vocals feel less lively on the Z300s, slightly more recessed. The liveliness of the C3s is more forward, revealing a greater amount of nuance, giving a more natural and accurate timbre, although it is also thinner and more delicate. The harmonic quality is more remarkable in the TinHiFi. And this is also noticeable in the female voices. They, on the Z300s, are not able to stand out with the level of presence, clarity and transparency that they do on the C3s. Here in terms of technicalities, I found it very similar to the BL03 , and below the BL07 , if we consider other BLON models that I know. In other words, it is a phone that has an interesting stage, but is restricted only to the sides, with minimal or perhaps non-existent three-dimensionality. Something to keep in mind is that the Z300 is a headphone with safe, comfortable, non-fatiguing highs. However, there is a slight peak at 8 kHz that can hurt ears sensitive to this frequency region, especially at higher volumes. Timbre-wise, the BL-03 has a thinner note weight with a leaner tone. Surprisingly, the BL-03 is slightly better in technical chops - imaging, soundstage, micro-detailing and instrument separation are conveyed better on the Bl-03.

If you look at the graph, you might think that the trebles have a similar tuning. But, in practice, the Z300's treble is softer, while the C3's has more energy, more crunch, more presence, but also more danger, because it is sharper and punchier. The Z300s are softer and I could say that, for many, they are sufficient. If you want more presence in the upper zone, the C3s have it. When I had the opportunity to listen to the BL03 and BL07, I was able to better understand the brand's idea, even though the BL07 is slightly more technical than any other BLON that has ever passed through my ears. By the way, the Z300 reminded me a lot of the BL03, although it is more comfortable and more beautiful (although this criterion is more subjective than the subjectivity already inherent to the hobby). Treble​The treble is leaning slightly towards dark without losing ground too much from the bass. It does have enough contrasting energy to provide decent amount of details without being piercing or sibilant. It does have adequate extension and air up top, but not fantastic. However, treble is definitely not the main focus here and I doubt this will affect the listening enjoyment that much. The reason why the z4 is a bit better is that the mid frequencies are smoother due to the depth of the scene. they are very similar but the mid frequencies of the z 4 are much more elegantRegarding the instruments, there is little clarity and a warmer tone than expected in everything. Not even the solo of “This I Love” escapes this curtain of heat, sounding less vivid and intense than we might expect. This headphone here is, without a doubt, a nightmare for midheads and the like. Cymbals sound soughing and dull on how I perceived it but portrays well the sound of hi-hats with its shortened buzzing quality. The brilliance treble on this one was rather mediocre as it has a modest amount of air that has less sparkle and impeded harmonics.
