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

I purchased the Dunu SS tips. Waiting for them to arrive. I have Fiio LS TC 1 and it grips the IEM so well. But the stock cable is trash. I will buy one. I guess I will go with Openheart 8 core black then buy the Moondrop cable when its on sale
I like to focus on comfort and reduced microphonics when shopping for cables. I'm currently using Nobunaga Labs Iris cables on both setups (desktop + portable)

Very light and thin cable with no ear hooks. Perfect for a glasses wearer.

Here is a good cable I recently got from Gladiator Cables. "Aes Harmony" silver-plated UP-OCC copper-litz cable. More descriptions are here: link

Config:
Conductors: 4 x 24AWG (4x1.5mm OD unsleeved)
Material: Thick silver plating, 6N OCC Copper (99.9999X%)
Insulator: Extremely flexible PE
Core Structure: Type 2 Litz (144*0.02mm)

The thing I love about this cable is that it achieves a very decent sound at a very reasonable price. It is a good upgrade over the stock cable on, let's say, a mid-fi iems (~600-800 USD), as most of the stock cables that come with iems in this price range are just okay or sometimes bad too. It has a nice, soft, and supple build. The 4.4mm adapter is quite solid. The 2-pin connectors are not as solid, though.

It delivers what it promises—striking a balance between warmth and details. It does not color the sound and leaves the signature mostly as it is while smoothing out the texture. It is good for warmish iems where you don't want to add any extra warmth/color at all. I paired it with FlipEar Aether, Penon Dome; they sound quite mature on this cable. I will try to add more details to this cable after a few days.

Hakugei Big Rice or Thor (depending on where you buy it) is good value for money at $30

Another Lucky Bag from NICEHCK dedicated to 20000 subscribers with "Golden color silver plated OCC + copper foil 0.78 2Pin 8 strand cable"
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006926197262.html
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.

Wait until you find out how thin the wires inside IEMs are.
