BLON BL-05S – Review

BLON BL-05S

BLON BL-05S

| 10 mm Dynamic Driver |



? BLON BL-05S, the new generation of the BL-05 model.

The BLON BL-05S was released some time after the “original” BL-05 was launched, with a radically new color design but the exact same earpieces form factor.

The new BL-05S is still a single driver earphone, holding inside one 10mm dynamic driver with carbon diaphragm.

The cable of the BLON has a helix design with, unfortunately, a thin and poor build with all-plastic details. Regarding connectors, this model uses the 2-pin 0.78mm design that is widely popular among ChiFi earphones.

An immediate difference can be noticed between the BLON BL-05 vs BLON BL-05S, the color design. Indeed, the new model comes in a uncommon color combination of golden accents and a main light teal color with a vintage vibe – honestly, the new color will probably not be welcomed by many users.

BLON BL-05S Review

Tests & Scores


A

Accessories & Packaging

The BLON BL-05S comes inside a long rectangular package, packed with 5 pair of eartips, a soft pouch and the detachable 2-pin cable.

The packaging is nothing fancy and fairly oversized for the unit but the additional accessories might be appreciated by buyers.

B

Bass & Sub Bass

The BLON BL-05S offers a lower frequency style that is able to keep their bass response under control.

This does not mean a conservative bass, instead it represents a lower frequencies tuning that can provide punchy bass and fun to a wide variety of genres without falling into a bouncy mess.

It is fair to highlight that the BLON BL-05S has a tendency to roll-off on the lower end, translating into a less deep sub-bass. Their lower bass will not show much deepness issues on many tracks.

On the other hand, with genres and songs that ask for very deep notes or sub-bass centered music, the BL-05S will mostly fall short.

An EQ can squeeze some extra punch and a fair deepening of their sub-bass, yet users should not expect any head-rattling sub-bass.

Mids & Vocals

The BLON BL-05S provides clear lower mids with a, noticeably, clean mid-bass bleed.

The overall consequence of this midrange tuning shows, well-emphasized male vocals and lower pitched vocals that never sound distant nor congested.

In addition to this, female vocals always have an “alive” feel while upper mids get crisp without becoming harsh.

With an EQ, some retuning can be applied with good results over custom-tuning and refinement but can also quickly deteriorate when overdone.

Highs & Treble

The BLON BL-05S highs achieve a good balance, providing brightness and sufficiently detailed sound for most sessions.

On the other hand, a couple of times we could notice some hotter peaks on very sibilant-prone songs.

Overall, their BL-05S will offer many users a efficient compromise between clean sound and non-disturbing fatiguing peaks – for little money.

Using an EQ, a much more detailed response can be obtained and a much better “open” feel can be reached with, also, boosting of brightness but owners will have to be aware that piercing peaks and sibilant spikes will become much more frequent and intense.

Sound Leak

The sound leaking out of the BLON BL-05S is fairly less hearable than most average closed-back headphones, yet this will not be an award-winning model for their leakage.

SI

Sound Isolation

The sound isolation provided by the BLON BL-05S is, unexpectedly, less efficient than a normal headphone.

For people looking for some awareness of their environment, this might be a well-suited model but users searching for absolute isolation might be better looking elsewhere.

C

Comfort

The BLON BL-05S has inherited identical earpiece’s shells and form factor from the previous generation; and this is a good thing.



The BL-05S has a small size and a thin profile combined with a rounded and deep fitting design that results in a killer combo for remarkable comfort and stable fit.

Another positive aspect of the BL-05S is their rugged build and hefty construction of the earpieces – yet, shamefully, the cable is way inferior in the durability department and will be the weak link of the “lifespan” chain.

EQ

Response to Equalization

The response to EQ of this BLON earphone showed strong retuning potential of some characteristics such as detail, brightness and punchiness.

Nonetheless, the EQ margin was a bit shorter than other EQ-responsive models, which can result in some introduction of sound deterioration when equalizing is overdone.
