Recommended IEM Cables

i do like the Dunu line for that fact, i just need to know if anyone who has had that cable in their hands knows of an aftermarket one, it really was quite unique to me

You can get better cables than that in the aftermarket, but you can’t get the modular part.

For that Dunu is the best.

Ya… I have dunu 02… the modular is the best
I also like the texture and the weight of the cable. But too bad, I don’t know what’s the reason its 2 pins can fit into my moondrop variations. So I had to look out for another cable to replace this

I am not a fan of the FH5 cable what so ever. I hate it.

Is the FD5 cable on the same level of WTF were they thinking as the FH3 cable?

Yep. I’ll go fetch some photos…

EDIT:

Here is one of my FH5’s brand new with the stock cable…

Here is a picture of the FH3 stock cable VS the WAY better FH7 cable.

Here is a picture of the aftermarket pure silver cable I ended up using on another FH5.

I liked that aftermarket cable so much I purchased a few and used it on the FH3 as well.

he said FD5 :stuck_out_tongue: it’s the modular one

I can’t read today. Sorry.

@11_Clouds I love the FD5 cable. Sorry. Fiio announced they were going to sell it on its own but that never happened to my knowledge. It measures extremely well as well.

I have a sugestion and the solution to your problems :slight_smile: Buy FD3 PRO, use the cable and still have a better set than FD5 :slight_smile:

Dont think he wants to support Fiio though.

I’m all aboard that fuck Fiio boat. But it’s the only way he get’s an MMCX modular cable for that price… Also he’d get a “free” iem.

(Just go to AE, open Xinhs’ store, get Graphene cable (8 or 4 core), have a blast of a good looking cable matching FD5, save some bucks :slight_smile: )

I was just about to clarify but I knew you would see it, ya man I was hoping to find it on its own, still the best cable I’ve tried out of the limited experience I’ve had, I did buy balanced cables for the FH3 and Legacy 3 but man that FD cable was so nice, just hard to tell in photos what would be an equivalent

Re: FH5 OEM cable - I’ve had two, they look great when they are new but after a bit of wear, on the original one the plastic mmcx plug shattered and the mmcx connector broke in half… on the 2nd OEM cable the wire got super stiff after a few months of use, almost as if it was plastic, and the connectors started to wiggle where they meet the earpiece. In time, my left earpiece stopped working, and I had to have it replaced under warranty. didn’t purchase a 3rd OEM cable because (eventually) I can learn from my poor decisions, and so I went with Tripowin C8 which is a nice little cable, no issues thus far. Much softer than the OEM cable even after a year of use…

He sure does, and the shipping is also very fast. My next package already entered the courier station, might be delivered tomorrow.

Congratz on the cable! That 4 core graphene is for sure on my cart :slight_smile:

Does anyone have the measurement of dunu Duw02?

Sure…

DUW02 cable…

Fiio’s non-pro FD3 cable…

For comparison, my best measuring cable (graphene)…

Really want to get a measurement of the Fiio (pro) cable!

So you ended up getting that FD3?

That cable is bad lol. Can you measure Teas stock cable? Never got a chance to ask anyone else

No, the same cable comes with the FD1 which I have and you can see in the photo.

I have one of the original Mangird Teas so the cable I have might be different than later sets.
