Recommended IEM Cables

I don’t use it anymore also.
I revived it this year because I share one YT Music account with my wife and when she listens to music mine stops. But instead of going with a DAP I just subscribed to Apple Music.

The TRN T2 or T2 Pro are decent or the Tripowin Zonie, I’ve got a few TRN cables, pretty good quality, but also love the Tripowin Zonie…

sir are those EJ07M…if yes please detail the link for the cable. regards

That was a long time ago, but here it is: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801555834665.html

In that gunmetal color, there is this one too

But you will need to wait until it is back closer to the promotional price: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806229790757.html

i did not expect for such a prompt response for such an old thread. Actually i have been A/B ing between your and Bruce’s videos on EJ07M. it is because of both of your views i took a shot on EJO7M. it is very expensive for me. i sold all my gear including aful p5/dunu est 112 and a host of other iems to get close to the asking price.I hope it suits me. The cable is so awesome to look at i could not resist asking you. Given this opportunity, i would like to place a few clarifications as i know you stand in the best position to help:

  1. I hail from India. Importing is a big issue. Locally i could only find the following collection on Xinhs:
    XINHS | Concept Kart
    i would be greatly obliged if you would kindly pick one for me for EJ07m.
  2. i recently also got an Orivetti 700vb…i find the upper mids a tad harsh and forward too much for my taste. I did some research. Seems an UPOCC cable might help. I am having a contact to sell ARES S 4w at around 80 dollars and the following Xinhs: (seeking your advice on any other budget options)
    XINHS 4 Core Upgrade Cable for IEM | Concept Kart
    please accept my sincere gratitude for reaching out to me. It really meant a lot to receive a reply from the

I mean I replaced it aswell (for optics) but the stock cable of EJ07m is very good actually

I agree with @Rinderkappajoe, the stock cable on EJ07M is fine, but the cable you picked for 700vb is actually a well known cable from a long time ago. That was a Yinyoo cable I had a few of them. I happen to like twisted cables like that. Of the other cables, the mix of pure silver and copper 8 core is a cool cable with some history, a bit thick and stiff, but mine goes back years. I am not sure if he changed the copper material. It is a beefy 8 core though if you want something thicker.

Uh guys is this topic still alive? I am kind of in need of a recommendation right now in terms of the cable and I am in a pickle when it comes to the choices. Recently, I got the Elysian Pilgrims in my collection thanks to my friend who hooked me up with a seller that was selling it. Don’t get me wrong I love the IEMs but my main concern would be its stock cable and I can tell that this is not your standard 2pin or MMCX cable.

Right now I am looking for a Pentaconn type of cable but I have to admit it’s really tough to look around for I have tried every store and I cannot just find a single one for the Pilgrims. And yes I am looking for a modular one as well and no no NO, I don’t need a damn cable that is more expensive than the IEM itself, for that is in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous.

NICEHCK seem to do them Dusksky and AceOrpheus on Ali :+1:

Can you find an adapter (pentagon to mmcx for example)?

Apparently I am being told that XINHS can create custom cables for the Pilgrims with the Pentaconn connectors. I’ll do it once I have more funds, for I have just recently bought the Pilgrims.

Their cables shouldnt be that expensive though (20 usd ish) even for customs?

Speaking of cables, I’ve decided the buy a custom set from Xinhs and use it for my Softears Volume S which I have right now. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind the stock cable of the Volume S and being all microphonic, but it does get annoying from time to time, hence it will get the custom cable treatment that add even more pizzazz to it.

Also yes, I’ve asked Xinhs if they do make a Pentaconn cable for the Pilgrims, but to no avail, they don’t make those, which sucks.

Yeah, microphonics can definitely get annoying over time, so a custom cable sounds like a solid move—plus, Xinhs makes some great ones. Curious, did you go for a specific material or just something with better ergonomics? Also, sucks about the Pilgrims cable, would’ve been nice to get a proper upgrade there!

I just order the cable to be copper plated, the plug modular and the 2pin connectors to be similar to the Dunu Lyre Mini, like the 2pins actually protruding out even more than the usual 2pin. Also I could just order an adapter for the Pilgrims since I saw a female 2pin to Pentaconn that are actually available.

For now though, the Volume S is getting maybe some other time I will get a custom cable for the Pilgrims since that one is like my main favorite right now, until I have saved up money and get myself the Hisenior Mega5Est.

That 2 pin design should give a nice secure fit, and having a modular plug keeps things versatile. Good call on the adapter for the Pilgrims too, better to have options without committing to a whole new cable just yet

Have your Pilgrims changed in the treble region? After about 20 hours my set lost all their treble magic. They just seemed to diminish even further in output to much too safe levels. Not like they were broken but the drivers settled to their natural state. I loved how they rendered before this change. The sub bass also reduced a couple dB during this break in period. Most disappointed in them and have returned back to seller. I tried EQ but it didn’t bring back the special sauce up top.

I found the stock cable to be terrible ergonomically. It’s too heavy and stiff, doesn’t lay and behave/disappear as I prefer.

I tried a cheap Pentaconn Ear cable ($30 USD) and it was utter garbage. Sounded rolled off on both ends. Very thin conductors. It went back too.
