NON-AUDIO OPINIONS

My unboxing posts are pretty much the only times I’ll ever talk about build quality, accessories and the like. I’m not really the person to ask about these things as I don’t really care about them that much.

Accessories: cloth case and tips.

Cable: 4-wire round braid, generic plastic sheathing that feels like a cheap PlasticsOne cable. Pretty bad texturing and doesn’t feel particularly good.

Connection: extruded 2-pin, almost like classic UE. It’s a weird connection by today’s standards but is relatively secure.

Regular 2-pin cables still work with the BL-03, but it will be in a flush configuration when done so.

Build: metal build. Self-explanatory.

Fit: the shape of the shell is as if they tacked on a nozzle onto an earbud shell. The fit is horrible and is absolutely a dealbreaker for my ears. It takes a lot of time and careful adjustment to get a good seal on these, and even when that is achieved it does not stay put for long when I do activities with these on.

I need to stress this again: the BL-03’s fit is by far its biggest problem and this should be your biggest concern when considering to buy one.

Isolation: ranges from “average” to “bad” depending on the kind of fit you have. Not very consistent since the seal you get is also inconsistent at times.
