Looks interesting with the filter and adjustable vent.

I had these before, but with the adjustable vents only! ....It's interesting now they added filters to them.

Can someone recommend me a decent Bluetooth MMCX cable? There are plenty in Aliexpress, but have no idea which one to buy... It's for my Magaosi K3 Pro, and I want the SQ to be as good as the stock cables if possible.

Do the ones that cost $10 in Ali work at all? - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...-MMCX-upgrad-cable-For-Shure/32797103062.html

Penon are selling several, but the reviews are not that good (although not many) - http://penonaudio.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=mmcx bluetooth

There's a new one by Tennmak as well - https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32820139923.html?spm=2114.12010615.0.0.fGkWlN

Thanks !

I like the sound of titanium single dynamics, so I would expect this to sound really good.

There's nothing worse than having a great sounding headphone that fits like crap or is uncomfortable to wear. We've all been there, and it ends up gathering dust in the bottom of a drawer.

Any Bass-heads around? The Blitzwolf graphene dynamic I think is a mild basshead iem.
I was going to review it because it's very good for $30 especially the build and cable are fantastic.
The cable is like a hifiman iem cable. mmm fap fap fap.
But I think it would be better if a bass-head reviewed it.
Big soft bass, smooth mids and decent treble. Mildly U shaped signature or even just downsloping from left to right, with good stage and average resolution.
With a perfect seal the Bass dominates should satisfy a mild bass-head.

Can somebody please repost instructions on how to remove the memory wire from the zs5 cable?

You basically grab the wire and 'zip' it out like you're pulling on a zipper (the wire tears through the soft tubing). Once the wire is totally removed, you grab what's left of the tubing and pull that off the rest of the way using the same "zipper" action.

If you have trouble getting to the wire to get started, you can CAREFULLY trim through the tubing using nail clippers (finger/toe) or scissors (with a side cutting action; cutting the outside of the tubing vertically), being CRAZY careful not to cut into the actual earphone wire.

It's kind of hard to explain in writing, but very obvious once you actually do it.

got it--for the uninitiated there's a silver wire (similar to but thinner than a paper clip) under the black sheathing over the top of the cable--you can use your fingernail to get to the silver wire, then zip up; remove the silver wire and then pull of the blcak sheathing. takes less than a minute and makes a big difference in comfort and esp. fitment

Thanks !

I got one from Penon maybe late last year or early this year for my ex. She's been using when working out with Tennmak Pros. She said recently that one side will go in and out. Will be testing this weekend if it's the cable or Tennmak themselves
