XINHS seems to have a lot of stuff thats not listed in their store. So definitely no harm in asking.
Best way would be to take a picture of what you are requesting.

Thanks guys, i have sent him a message, lets see how it goes.
I am comfortable with soldering and i do have an extra kbear cable here i was about to mod, but i still could not find a pair of 3.5mm plugs to my liking, i will either buy a cable if this seller can make one for me or try to find the plugs and solder myself.
If you got soldering skills. You could buy the separate parts here:
If you are buying from CEMA, you could get the “Hakuzen” discount, which I believe is 10% off.
(Hakuzen is the guy behind this: Resistance of cables; pics, comments, and links | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org, my old senpai in the cable measuring thing.)
Or if you buy from XINHS, you can tell him that you are from head-fi and you should also get a discount.
(IM NOT AFFILIATED WITH THEM!!!)

Probably because KZ and Tin are more known in the budget range, so when they release stuff thats in the mid-tier range, they wont get as many purchases. The mid-tier range is dominated by other brands, its kinda hard for KZ (thats known to just put as many drivers as they can and release a lot of iems very quickly) to get their market share in that price range.
Right, $100+ is the KZ danger zone. When there is a limited set of stores picking up a new model, that is also a big warning sign.
On the T5, maybe the initial reviews didn’t motivate people to spend the money or a signature that didn’t appeal to their typical customers. Seemed like the hype train did not leave the station on that one.
Exactly. Seems the T5 is V-shaped while Tin is known to have a more neutral or bright-neutral tuning, that probably scared their customers off.
Let me know what they say, I could use a nice looking cable for my HE400i which also takes two 3.5mm jacks.

Why not go Mangird Tea?
I was interested in the various Sonions they are using but missed the pair with the strong sex…probably need to re-visit that one…thanks, their products look very interesting, will keep an eye on them for 6-18 sales.

Thanks, I am glad it worked out. First iem questions are really hard as it is usually like which is better, BL03 or ZSX? A big part of that answer is more about your preferences and not my opinion. I try though as I have no desire to see someone spend $50 and unhappy with the set.
For me, the Oracle was a reminder to not leap too fast. Just because someone liked Oracle over Excalibur, doesn’t mean you will have the same preference. I was interested in it like everyone else, but as the opinions roll in, I am not sure that it has a level of bass I would be happy with at that price level.
@Rikudou_Goku have you tried the foam mod on the fh5s? I find that only certain songs in my library really bother me with the treble of the fh5s. Was thinking of trying out the foam.
I rather avoid dealing with linsoul and the various reports about vent issues are also scaring me away.
I will give GS Audio a chance… Or two during the summer sale next month probably.
I have not, my issues with it have little to do with the tonality and more about the quality. Which isn’t something that this mod will help with.
Well, I ordered the GD3A and the GD11 from GS Audio lol.
They better be good rather than “all bark and no bite” lol.

Just a post on what I plan to do.
Review for the K´s Samsara K300 will probably be done in a week when all my exams are over.
Then I might review the sources I currently got after, since I also have the Hidizs DH80S (review unit) on the way.
My XINHS custom cables might arrive in 1-2 weeks.
Kbear Neon (review unit) might popup somewhere here, and if so I will work on the review for it. If not, I might get to the K´s Bell-WE (bass version).
After these, the Smabat Super One and the M2S Pro might show up, if so I will probably start with the M2S Pro and then the Super One.
Then the last package, the GS Audio GD3A and the GD11 will be reviewed, probably the GD3A first, then the GD11.
Lastly I should finally have time to work on my Sony EX1000 review thats been pushed down the priority queue a lot.

I be lying if I said I wasnt totally uninterested. But I already got the Atom for an entry level amp and the Asgard 3. So I dont need it.
If Schiit wants me to review one, I gladly take a review unit though.
