Well, 23$ just for not cutting two small plastic parts, it's a choice. But at least you have a greater choice of cable afterwards

Just to add a little something to this exchange: Personally, I've abandoned custom Molded Earplugs and switched to Earasers (https://www.earasers.shop/products/earasers-music-earplugs-2024). Well, it's a question of feeling as always, but for me it's the best solution I've found in terms of...

For a 250$ device, it's just that what be expected. They have a whole range of devices, they're not going to compete internally. It seems to be a good product for this price range, complete.

Well, there's something that bothers him with this iem. The fact that the final tuning goes through a USB audio cable with a DSP bothers me a lot. Of course, it's "the last 5%" (+ all you can do with this DSP and the app, so the 5%...) but it's a cable that I will never use given the equipments...

Thanks for the tip I was wondering why this update wasn't available on my side :smile:

Well.. you know, with Oled TV you have to wait several time before calibrate them (something like 100 hours) :sweat_smile:

It's a sort of explanation, but for now, it's just a hypothesis. So it's a little difficult to be so affirmative

A proposition :

With a smartphone, my Ibasso DC03Pro and the Simgot EW200, but for a real "standalone mode" maybe my Hiby R3Pro with the Simgot EA500

Thanks to Superuser1 for the screenshot. As for the n5005 connector, it's an MMCX one but a little longer so it will feet perfectly with the Sennheiser IExx, as they have a recess MMCX connector. It's one proposition, but you can find many others as this Sennheiser models are popular .

Search for cables with a N5005 connectors. I use this one with my IE600: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004799002938.html, MMCX connections are perfect

Even for a topic about (more or less) cables bargains, i can see that inflation has been here :sweat_smile:!

With most of the search engine, something like: site:www.aliexpress.com Aful Performer 5

If all is ok actually for you then... I'm completely happy with the last firmware but i had to do a factory reset. Maybe wait to the next firmware to update your device, the little problems we encountered may not be present and could save you time
