I picked up the Tripowin Zoe, and figure I would share my thoughts. It is a $20 MSRP and looks very nice. It has a subtle rainbow effect on the cable. It has some shape memory that isn’t ideal, and it has a rubbery feel. The hardware is a very nice matte grey finish.
I still think the Zonie is a better cable, but if I could get this hardware on the Zonie, that would be my pick.
I haven’t read the whole thread, but I have the Tripowin Jelly that I got on sale a while ago. Really like the build, flexibility, tangle-free, and sound.
Edit: Sorry, my mistake…I have the C8…and like it.
I recently bought an open heart cable which was really nice, but the ear hooks are damn aggressive. Also, It may be placebo so don’t take this too seriously now, but it produces sound that comes across as congested as well.
I just got two of these for $19 + tax. They were on sale for $15 apiece and then the store had a $10 off store coupon that worked with it and I got another dollar off from coins or something. The end total was $20.32.
Just have to be careful with the two pin connections! I almost bent the pins on one of my cables due to that recessed designed on a QDC set - must be careful!
Very good sound quality imo and drives my IEMs fine, even P1+.
Main issue is storage (expandable to 16GB max if my memory is correct) and the stock firmware is a bit basic (I run Rockbox custom firmware). Also the clip broke on mine but only after many years of using it.
