Recommended IEM Cables

I’m looking at the table now and all the silver cables have higher resistance. Wouldn’t it be better for me to get one of the lower resistance ones? Just curious here what advantage there is to getting a silver one, the b7 cable in that table in particular, if there are any at all.

None of my kbear cables have lasted long tbh… so Im trying to avoid them.

Not really, any cables that have lower than 0.5 impedance work just fine, just not on all-BA sets.

@Rikudou_Goku can explain this from his tests.

I found it anyway.

This is really neat thanks for digging this up for me. Looks like some people were actually heading a difference between different cables

Ended up ordering A16 because I loved how it looked.

Oof yeah I just realized lmao. Was trying to avoid double posting

This thread is such a kryptonite. I don’t need more cables…

Yes, I agree. I have the same experience.

So I’m running into an issue with this cable on the S9 pro and Timeless. Doesn’t happen with my other iems, its like a crackling or cutting out when i go to high in volume. Is this a power thing? Are there other USB-c to Lightning cables to try? Does not happen with the usb-c to usb-c cable that came with the S9 going into my iPad pro. This is using the Kinera system, i cant think to why this would be happening


Hey all, I have a basic cable question. If I have a balanced cable (4.4) on my IEM can I use an adapter like this DD ddHiFi All-New DJ44C Aluminum Version 4.4mm Balanced Female to 3.5mm Male Headphone Jack Adapter, Audio Converter for Earphone, DAP/ DAC/Amplifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0922VY6FB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_XAEM5VF0NPCDYFTVTBKD to convert it to single ended 3.5?

Yep, just never ever ever try to convert a single ended cable to a balanced port.

The problem might be the sources from what I see. And what IEM are you using with?

You can try using iematch+.

He’s using Timeless. Planar needs energy.

@11_Clouds It’s the cable, probably… drainig too much power.

Ah sorry, I’m a fast reader so only looked at S9 Pro then drew conclusion :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, planar needs power so you should need an Amp and check your sources.

This might not be the issue but if it happens with the lightning to usb c and not usb c to usb c while keeping every thing else the same… it might be because the lightning port does not share power like usb c ports do. So the S9 may be drawing extra power when connected to the pad pro and not the iPhone.
