wow, wasn't aware KZ made iems in that price range.
KZ don't. That was Hifigo's own "estimate" when they listed pre-order items years ago. Please see my comments in the KZ thread:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/knowledge-zenith-kz-impressions-thread.698148/post-16903677

The highest priced KZ IEM right now are the KZ AST at $140 on Hifigo:

KZ AST 24 Unit Balanced Armature Earphone

A bit less on AliExpress KZ shops:

FYI, $10.99 is the standard price that Sennheiser sells this cable for, with free shipping.

Yes, but don't you have to then find a dealer that has it and at that price?
It's not in stock on the web site often, but you can usually call them. Since Sennheiser's Audio division got purchased, maybe they don't have an on-line store anymore. You can call the support number and see if they still sell them. I did that once and they said had a few in stock. 1-(877)-736-6434

What I want to know is why Sennheiser won't make an $11 4.4mm cable??

CH 660 P $239.95!!
High-end cable for HD 660 S, HD 650 and HD 600 headphones, optimally matched to the HDV 820 headphone amplifier.
plus applicable sales tax – free shipping
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/ch-660-p

Maybe a similar costing $32.95 cable with a screw on/off 4.4mm balanced connector revealing a 2.5mm balanced connector underneath the 4.4mm, like this 6.35mm over 3.5mm Sennheiser Cable:

Cable 3m, 3.5mm and adapter 3.5mm to 6.35mm compatible with HD 600 headphones.
https://en-us.sennheiser.com/cable-3m-35mm-and-adapter-35mm-to-635mm

That "High-end" 4.4mm cable is made out of the same "Zip-cord" that the cheap 6.35 and 6.35/3.5mm cables use, there is no sane justification to charge $239.95 for an $11 or $33 cable!

This one is actually available at Senn for $22. It's closer to 4.4mm :wink:

I've reterminated many of the Senn cables. Not too hard to an XLR 4 pin. You could try using this plug

but soldering that plug will be a real challenge.

Went from DHL Delivery Facility to courier, then delivered - Signed, on 4/4/2022. Can't see the delivery address though.

I still haven't received the package. I reported the issue to Newegg on 4/6/2022 but never received a response from them.

I just reported this issue to Paypal Resolution Center and got the refund issued immediately.

Will not order from 3rd-party sellers on Newegg again.

What does tracking show? Mine is supposedly in NY but shipping address is some one in NY. Not sure why

My tracking showed the package was delivered to Miami FL on 4/4/2022. I contacted DHL but they won't tell me the delivery address (for protection purpose I think).

I sent these documents to Paypal:
1. Newegg invoice (with tracking number)
2. Tracking details (showing delivered to Miami FL)

Paypal immediately issued refund and closed the case. I guess I was not the first one to report this issue to Paypal.
