Hakugei Skyrim Premium Upgrade Cable Review!
DISCLAIMER/S:
- I am one of those people who is gifted (and cursed) enough to hear minor nuances in setups. Please keep in mind that everything you read here may or may not be experienced by your own ears. Both cases/instances are completely fine, never a problem, and have nothing to do with how "good" your ears are. YOUR MILEAGE MAY AND WILL VARY.
- This unit was sent to me by a friend in an exchange for an honest review. Rest assured that this review will do its best to avoid any bias/es as much as possible.
- No monetary compensation was given to me before, during, and after the creation and publishing of this review.
Pros:
- Premium Craftsmanship and build quality (as it should).
- Premium packaging and accessory/ies (as it should)
- Soft feel yet has sturdy build quality
- Adds a bit of warmth to the sound while keeping the clarity and technical performance.
- Has minimal coloration to the sound of the IEM.
- Minimizes noise floor by a lot.
Cons:
- Cable is slightly on the heavier side.
- Expensive (of course)
Cable Specifications:
- Litz 6N pure silver shielding coaxial structure
- High-end, premium shielding
- Shielding Lay: Litz Pure Silver 112 cores 22awg
- Centre Lay: Litz 6N OCC 133 cores 22awg
- Plug/s: 3.5MM SE, 4.4MM BAL, 2.5MM BAL
- Connector: 2Pin 0.78, QDC/Fitear/JH Audio/IE80/IM/IE600/IE500 silver copper alloy CuAg6 patented MMCX, can also be modular.
- Price: 610 USD
Test setup/s:
- BQEYZ Autumn
- TangZu Shimin Li
- Venture Electronics MEGATRON USB DAC
- CDs, Local Files, Streaming sites.
Findings:
- The Hakugei Skyrim is a premium cable aimed at excellent aesthetics, build quality, and sound quality for its price. The sound improvements depend on the setup itself, whether it is responsive to subtle changes or not.
- The cable noticeably added a bit of warmth to the BQEYZ Autumn. Even in Autumn with neutral filters, it sounds like it is using the bass filter. Despite adding warmth, it never made the sound blurry or bloated. It still maintained the clarity and crispness of the sound while also reducing the perceived floor noise. The soundstage seemed to be a bit wider compared to the stock cable.
Verdict
The Hakugei Skyrim is an excellent premium flagship cable if you have the resources to afford it for your expensive IEM. Aside from its top-notch build quality, it managed to make things a bit warm, and I do find it pairs well with brighter IEMs. It sure is worthy if you pair it with an expensive IEM, as most expensive IEMs are the most sensitive to changes as well.
Thank you for reading!

New Head-Fier
As far as I know, the recent batches are already with modular plugs, so I guess it is customizable now
