Product Information

I do think, however, in the genres like jazz, slow rock, or classical, Z300 does perform much better. Instruments sounds passable for the most part but seem to get lost like female vocals in some tracks. I perceive the general presentation of its bass that focuses more on the mid-bass rather than to carry through a rumbling sound from its lowest bass region. still, it is worth saying that it has more balanced trebles than most models in the similar segment. I have to say, unlike Crinacle, who are very strict with his target signature, HBB took a wider range of sound signatures, ranging from neutral-balanced like the Tangzu Heyday or Tripowin Olina, warm-dark like QKZ x HBB, V-shaped with KZ X HBB PR2, and more.

Inside the box we get the IEMs, the cable, a small drawstring bag (like a miniature potato sack, another Blon clasic) and 6 sets of silicone tips in two types. Bass trumpets and bass trombones fare better on this one as they sound fuller and warmer with darker timbre. And in fact the Z300 does do rock-n-roll to the finest, it’s not a one trick pony either, showing itself to be wonderfully well rounded in other genres. There is better detail and a more discernible dark background gives you a more perceptible level of separation, as well as more precise and concise positioning.

Their body is made of zinc alloy, while inside, a 10mm dynamic driver with a silicon diaphragm has been chosen, which is designed to be rigid and flexible at the same time, with the intention of producing a sound with high precision and detail. This collaboration between BLON and HBB is a true testament to their commitment to audio and design excellence. Bass-baritones fare a bit better as it has that weight that can deliver that dim and wool-like sound characteristic of this particular vocal type. Blon have never really been great with their tips and usually I don’t even bother to use them on the sets that I receive but, as these were the only IEMs I had with me, I used them for the first day and either my memory is fading or these are actually better than those of yesteryear (at least the white ones). 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.

Although the Cadenza remains my favorite of all of the budget IEMs, I do enjoy listening to the more relaxing sound of the Hola when it is late at night and I am tired. However, these sensations vary with the quality of the recordings, so at least make sure you have good quality files. The intricate dragon pattern combines with sharp angles to create a modern and sophisticated look that is sure to catch the eye. Yoshida Brothers, I do find the Z300 does not overly mush the instruments together and I can still piece out the shamisen from the rest of the bands. It can also work well to tame overly harsh brass instruments but, again, on tracks where the brass has been recorded well, it can dull them a bit too much.

Obviously, the Cadenza outperforms every other IEM in terms of tonality, especially in the mid range, but the Z300's response is more precise and nuanced. Similar to how the mid bass's slams are impactful and sound straightforward, the sub bass's response is well extended and induces a supple sensation of rumble in the ear canal with hard hitting punches. I have no idea if they are gold-plated or not but they are certainly very gold, at least the model I received.
