I assume it is because it isn’t as smooth as the plastic materials we typically use, so it catches on everything.

Spent 15seconds thinking what is SHNIX…
I guess this is a lesson not to make a logotype that can be read bottom up as well.
My company made that as well by naming the product ZEUS in a font that makes it look like SNAZ when read bottom up. And the product is normally worn bottom up, so we get all those clients asking why the hell they have snazzy hand. You could never unsee that

XINHS has a cheaper modular option (not graphene):
Has anyone tried any of their similar OFC Silver Plated, 8 Core 3-dimensional Braided non-modular cables? I’d just like to know if the material is soft enough and wraps well without kink.

I have this one:
8 Core Silver Plated Wire Earphone Cable 2PIN/TFZ/MMCX/QDC Earbuds Cable For SE846 SE535 UE900S ED12 TRN V80 V20 V10|Earphone Accessories| - AliExpress.
Tbh the cable is a bit stiff compared to my Kbear or Yinyoo ones. But it looks great and feels sturdy

The latest release from Moondrop looks nice. Would have been better if these had replaceable plugs.

So I’ve been noticing this “Green” thing near the connector in the variations stock cable and it seems that I may need to change soon. It still sounds good, but better to change than be sorry later.
Any recommendations for a replacement cable or an upgrade cable for the variations? I don’t plan on spending toooo much on it, but I don’t mind spending like around $100 if need be.
I noticed one of my local audio stores are selling NiceHCK, Hakugei, and Kinera cables.
Thanks! I’ll go take a look!

Would look dope on the Variations, it’s low resistance and if you contact XINHS you can chose the colour of the hardware too

Tripowin Altea
Kinera Ace
Tripowin Noire

I didn’t like Linsoul LSC08 because it was really microphonic

I bought this cheap cable off of Amazon US with no ear hooks to try to fix the fit of my CRN.
It’s actually pretty good for $13. Soft, nicely braided, pretty straight out of the box and looks cool in all black.
Edit: added picture
Hi. I’m looking for a replacement cable for Ikko OH10. Saw a review suggesting Reecho Peacock Spring cable, but i couldn’t find it for sale anywhere.
Is there any other alternative? I’m open to any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you
