BLON BL-A8 Prometheus IEM

When it comes to IEMs, it’s easy to get lost in the triple-driver, multi-stage units that give you everything but the kitchen sink. BLON is here to offer an IEM that nails the fundamentals with a truly interesting design. The BL-A8 is built around a single 10-millimeter dynamic driver that delivers 115 decibels of sensitivity and covers the full human hearing spectrum of 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. And then there’s the design, which showcases unique housings whose shape sits somewhere between  “amoeba” and “sea urchin,” making the BL-A8 look like a much higher-dollar set of IEMs. Accenting the all-black colorway, light-gray eartips and flashy gold-colored connectors give the BL-A8 a truly striking presentation. Each pair comes with a detachable 2-pin 0.78-millimeter cable.
