Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

Another Lucky Bag from NICEHCK dedicated to 20000 subscribers with "Golden color silver plated OCC + copper foil 0.78 2Pin 8 strand cable"

Code:
0501SALE
Code lowers inflated price to 13$

They posted on twitter that there's only 297 of those bags, but looking at previous ones with seemingly limitless Sakura restocks, it's probably not the case.

EDIT: looks like it's sold out now, after 3 hours.

My guess is it’s Coaxialsir or one of its relatives. Anyway it went fast.

With that price - no wonder.
What I really like about these inflated price cable offers is the fact that -$8 or more Ali sale promocodes work on them too in addition to store promos. If a cable from known brand goes below 10$ - that's an instant buy in my book, because only materials (if someone is willing to make DIY cable) will usually cost more.

@Echalon , I had asked you about a cable and got PurpleSE the last time, it's a fine cable. My preference was for impactful bass and warmer tonality and not very sparkly. Is there something you could suggest under/around 50$? -- Thank You.

Hakugei Sound of Thunder, ISN T-OCC or something else?

The ISN T-OCC is a lovely cable with a warm tonality, very close to my favourite Effect Audio Ares II+.

The NiceHck Maple is a nice cable with a real bass boost, and sometimes drops to around $50.

I’ve not tried the Hakugei Sound of Thunder, but the Healer is a warm and high quality copper. I prefer the T-OCC as it seems more open sounding to me, but this is a good option and looks fantastic.

The NiceHck Grey Dragon is warm and mid-bass focused, sometimes going for ~$50.

You could try the ivipQ-520, which combines copper and graphene to make a warm and slightly bassy cable. ~$40

A cheap option is the NiceHCK BlackCat, my go-to budget cable. ~$15

Hopefully one of those will serve you well.

How does the T-OCC compare to the deepsnow?

My 2 cents. I have these in the basket:

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005790587800.html

I have a USB A to USB B from ATAUDIO, and is great. Build quality is top notch, flexible, really good connectors. For aesthetics, this time, probably, I will be buying the one from Erumpent, but there are several solid choices in the range of 20-30€ for these (0.5m length)
