I just bought an Empire Odin from a friend in mint condition.
So, I joined the club
I am a little bit confused regarding the cable and maybe an Odin owner can help me.
The package shows a 2,5mm balanced cable (see picture).
However, he bought an "high-end-cable" directly when he ordered the Odin from the headphone online shop.
Brand: Effect Audio
3,5mm - therefore unbalanced
See pictures.
As far as i understand, a balanced cable has more power and provides the better sound experience. Every cable I have for my other IEMs or headphones are either 2,5mm or 4,4mm balanced.
So I asked the online shop if I can switch the cable. He offered me the "
ALO Audio Reference 8 In-Ear Cable - 2,5mm balanced / 2-pin"
Questions:
- How would you rank the Effect Audio cable I have?
- How much does this particular cable cost? I couldn't find the exact same cable online.
- What is your opinion about the Reference 8 cable?
- Does it worth a 1:1 exchange or should I sell my Effect Audio cable separately and buy another 2,5mm or 4,4mm balanced cable?
- Whoch 2,5mm / 4,4mm cable would you recommend for the Odin?
