Recommended IEM Cables

The Tripowin C8 is wonderful too, own one and it’s great for the price.

The Rhyme is actually a better cable due it measuring better and its cheaper as well.

The C8 is redundant now with the Rhyme out.

How is the Dunu DUW-02? Might be interested in a (not really) cheap cable with interchangeable connectors to switch between 2.5mm balanced and regular 3.5mm.

The cable itself is pretty bad and it measures so. It’s the point of entry into DUNU’s interchangeable system.

DUW-03 is the REAL deal.

I think if you are one of the budget-focused guys like me, well all I have to say is get cables from Yinyoo and JCAlly.

Also I have heard Faaeal’s cable is also good and in time I want to give them a shot to see if it’s true.

XINHS cables are nr 1 now lol.

Hey Hey, I just ordered my first IEM (Reecho SG-03) and now I am wondering what cable I should get. I was looking for something that would be good enough for the time being (nether 5$ nor a 200$ one) and could accompany/fit multiple IEMs (as I’ll likely buy more in the future).

I stumbled upon the PAC480 from Penon, but tbh, I am not sure if it is any good. The color scheme looks like candy and won’t suit my IEMs, but that’s another story.
Do you happen to know anything about the cable? Maybe some other recommendation? I am willing to spend more than the XINHS cost :slight_smile:

More general question: If my IEM are more bass heavy should I rather go for a silver cable to counterbalance or go all-in with all copper? Hope the post wasn’t off-topic here

I know I posted this already, but man I just like this cable.

Hi guys, first post here.
I recently ordered this cable from AliExpress:

€ 21,32 23%OFF | 8 core Reinem Silber kopfhörer Upgrade Kabel Ausgewogene draht 2.5/3.5/4,4 MM Stecker Mit MMCX/2PIN/QDC/TFZ für ZINN’s TFZ Headsets

Which someone on this thread recommended. I was pleasently surprised by the seller there: I wanted to make some changes: make all connectors black to match my FH3, have the mmcx connectors angled like the FiiO cables and have a right angle 2.5mm plug. The seller did all that in less than a day without charging extra! So amazing service, as I am in fact getting a semi custom cable at an extremely low price. Thought you guys might appreciate that. I will report back on the quality once the cable arrives.

Edit: Here is a picture of the finished product they sent me

Another one on my target list, thanks for saying its name.

Got a link for that cable you uploaded a pic of? Can’t seem to find it on Amazon using the name provided. I dig it.

Also found these that looks pretty nice and sold by Linsoul, but a bit pricey IMO for just a cable.

Here are a few more unique colored cables.

As promised, here is an update as my custom XINHS cable arrived. Looks very nice, the chin slider works. The cable itself is nicely braided and very soft, does not retain a shape. The angled MMCX comnectors are a little plasticy though. Still, recommended.

Looking for a comfortable thin cable for my IEMs I stumbled over the Linum G2 BaX. Ideal for my needs as I’m wearing glasses. So thin you don’t feel them with good sound. You can even get them balanced :+1:

Tough luck, it seems I cannot find a seller of Xinhs cable here in my place. I hope there are some alternatives that are at least close to Xinhs’ cables. I can only think of Yinyoo and Nicechk at the moment.

You can’t buy them from aliexpress?

Nah not from AliExpress, from Shopee aka our AliExpress here, since I get all my audio stuff from there for most of the time like my E Type eartips, SpinFits, Yinyoo cables, BLON BL-03, BLON BL-05S, and my Koss KPH30i.

It’s kind of odd not seeing those Xinhs cable from that one, since there are some sellers in Ali are also in Shopee. Maybe I am not looking hard enough.
