For future thread archaeologists, Alclair confirmed to me the pins on the cables they supply are 0.78mm, and according to the Aliexpress dealer it does appear all the connectors on the market in the "extruded" style are 0.78mm.

I think this question might not be as stupid as it sounds. I have a pair of Alclair Duals and wanted to get a short cable for them for use with my new FiiO BTR3. The only listing I could find on Aliexpress was this one, which offered a short cable in 0.75, 0.78, MMCX and other variants. The...

Is anyone making a business out of buying genuine “Apple EarPods with Lightning Connector”, chopping the actual earbuds off and replacing them with TF15 connectors, and reselling them? I have a pair of Alclair Duals and recently bought an iPhone X. The dongle, plus the fact there’s no clicker...

Bump. I've been trying to get a pair of iPhone cables from EarPeace for nine months now (see this thread); does anyone keep iPhone cables with MCX connectors as a stock item?   Cheers, Robert.

I've had a pair of Livewires doubles for about two years and I love them dearly. One of the main things I like is that you can cannibalise a pair of iPhone headphones and put MCX connectors on them; this gets you the mic and "clicker" volume controls of the original iPhone earbuds with the...
