Not sure if you are strictly looking for online or what’s your use case but the Kinera Gramr just dropped which comes with a detachable boom mic. No reviews yet cause it just dropped but I ordered one and can give a little review once it arrives
Hi guys, what’s the consensus here regarding the best IEM cables in the sub 50-80 dollars bracket? I must say that I like my Tripowin Noire (modular) as well as my Thieaudio EST MK II (modular) cables. What are your recommendation? I know the stock Tea2 cable I just ordered is not bad, but I’d like to see what other options you recommend
I too would recommend XINHS cables - that dude is great, replies to my messages all the time.
I would also recommend looking into ivipq cables - I have one of these finished in graphene for my Timeless and it’s a fantastic cable. Solid build and it looks beautiful.
Seems like NiceHCK has some great cables for really cheap as well.
I’m growing into a fan of the KBear cables. I have Show, Expansion, and am about to try out Inspiration. On sales they can be $20-40, and they do the job really nicely.
Yeah I agree with that - I’ve seen some nice ones on Ali. I’m probably going to pick up some cables tomorrow, I’ll let everyone know what I think of em when they come in.
While I somewhat share the same sentiment, have either of you tried those expensive cables? I’m going to go ahead and assume Riku has - I’ve used your ranking list for cables twice now and I’ve been happy with both purchases. But I’m genuinely just wondering if there is (at all) a sonic difference. There seems to be a decent market for them, it almost seems those dudes over on head-fi share a completely different opinion.
Not for IEMs, but for expensive hi-fi speaker setups (and expensive RF gear if that counts, you have many very overpriced snake oil cables in that field as well). Guessing it’s the same, the only thing that actually matters is impedance.
