perautomatikThey were not. I don't even consider these a sidegrade to the Blon BL-03, but definitely a downgrade.
Tested with Qudelix 5K (USB DAC mode), original eartips and the KBEAR07 eartips.
Sound is muddier, bass is over exaggerated (in a bad way), sound stage more narrow, instrument separation worse, clarity is gone compared to the BL-03.
Two positive things though. These had a tiny bit better fit than the BL-03 using the KBEAR07 yellow eartips, and well... there is "force & volume" coming out them.
I will try more different eartips and deep even more into trying to EQ something good out of these, but I can't recommend them to anyone at the moment.
