One of the cables I like the most is the one included with the IE200. A lot of people think it looks cheap but it’s super easy to manage and indestructible (they apparently used kevlar for the coating). Only downside is it only comes in Sennheiser’s own MMCX version.

Not really a big deal.
Xiaomi had that in their 20 usd iem in 2014.
It’s a shame it didn’t become more common…

They look interesting but the described warm and dark sound probably wouldn’t be for me.
Edit: talking about Penon Serial. I try to reply to the photos but it just posts separately at the end of the thread. What am I missing?!
It’s a tad spicy and doesn’t sound as polished as 2025/26 sets but it’s still a banger. I have both colorways!
I’d instantly buy this if the tuning wasn’t… so weird with rolled off bass and treble
How do they sound? Seems like an interesting concept. Do they need foams?
I have these… they’re quite impressive in sound quality. Warm organic sound but with pristine treble from the EST drivers.

Some of my favorite photos I’ve taken of IEMs.
EarAcoustic STA-K . Fabulous budget dual DD
QoA Cloudscape: DD+Planar. Too warm for me. Culled!
Zisin vermilion Flame: 1DD 2 BA … it’s good with a smooth sound
Sound Rhyme SR5 (custom faceplate!) one of my favorite sets of all time
Kiwi Ears Orchestra 2… when I first heard this I thought it might be a kilobuck set!
CCA Apex: 12 BA … needs at least a 30ohm impedance adaptor to bring out the bass
Sound rhyme SR5S … also very good but a bit more V-tuned.
EarAcoustic VSA-PM Crown. A top tier planar set!
Tangzu Dufu Verse 2. The sound is… interesting. They’re ok.
Fengru WDM01 DLC driver. Fantastic budget set!
BQEYZ Ni. Stunning budget single DD.
TRI I2 KongTong. Very good planar for treble lovers
XINHS HS98 1dd 4BA 2EST. One of my absolute favorite sets
Xenns Mangird Tea Pro SE. what a stunning set both in looks and in sound. Treble leans slightly treblehead
XINHS HS01. 1dd 4BA. Very smooth, impressive sound.

The cloudscape looks like it is made of porcelain or ceramic…
No it’s just normal resin. But looks amazing! I was really disappointed the tuning wasn’t to my liking.

Hell yeah - I did the editing on an LED panel and I thought I made the pics too bright, but once I saw them on my Macbook I knew they were perfect
