Introduction:
Peter Wong Audio is a Hong Kong based brand, and Peter, Ceo of th company, offers many different products such as mini to mini and IEM cables, several adapters, interconnects and LOD for several daps etc. as well as modding service.
Music Sanctuary from Singapore and Indy Music Gang from Thailand are PW Audio’s distributors; additionally, we can get his products from an online store: Yahoo Auction.
In Music Sanctuary Online Store, we can see many PW Audio products, which look better and more premium than reviewed cable. Actually, the reviewed cable isn’t being offered at Music Sanctuary; we can get only from Yahoo Auction website of PW Audio.
Built Quality:
Pw Audio Legend II v2 cable has 4 braids of copper conductors. Thickness of the conductors is reasonable and there is not much microphonic effect. Also, the cable isn’t heavy, so that it can be used outside easily.
The quality of shield/insulation (black PVC) is decent; also the pins have a bit low quality for an aftermarket cable. The reviewed cable utilizes a Oyaide 3.5 TRS plug which has a good quality overall. There is a wooden slider on the cable and the memory wires aren’t stiff.
PW Audio offers many different plug/pin types as well as some adaptors for AK, so that customers can select plugs/pins from a wide variety.
Sound:
PW Audio Copper cable has a bit more alive and transparent sounding cable compared to EW stock. Comparison made with Earwerkz stock and both have more than 100 hours of burn in time.
Low Frequency:
PW copper has a bit tighter and cleaner sub bass punches with the same average resolution. Thanks to cleaner sub bass, depth ability of the stage gets a bit better, but not much.Mid bass quantity is the same on both cables, but PW has a bit cleaner notes. Both cables locate mid bass presentation in the same area on the stage and don’t tighten the stage.
Mid Frequency:
EW stock has thicker notes compared to PW’s stock. PW’s copper doesn’t exactly make upper mids’ notes thinner, but makes them a bit more prominent and alive. Depends on master of recordings, it may turn to be a bit bright, but not much.
On the other hand, PW has a bit more transparent, cleaner and open mid frequency notes overall. Resolution is the same with stock, but PW has a bit more detailed presentation.
High Frequency:
There is a more extended and a bit more detailed presentation with PW’s cables. EW stock has less extended but smoother treble notes overall; both have weighty notes on this range. However, I wouldn’t recommend PW’s cables whose have already treble heavy earphones.
Soundstage and Separation:
PW has a bit deeper stage by small margin, but the width is the same on both. However PW has a bit more neutral spaces between instruments, while EW stock has a bit more warm stage atmosphere. Blackness and stability of the background are on the same level with a similar separation overall.
Last Words:
The reviewed PW Audio Legend II v2 copper cable is priced at 140 USD. It has a decent built quality, but Peter Wong would make it in a better look with the same sound. Even if the built quality isn’t top notch, the sound can be seen in a quite good level for its price.
Legend II v2 is for local market, so it can’t be found on Music Sanctuary website. It can be ordered from Yahoo Auction along with many more cable options.
