Can I use any MMCX cable for any IEM?
I wanted to get these IEMs, but wanted a bluetooth MMCX backup-cable. There would be this one for example, but it says that it only is for some Shure IEMs. Looking for MMCX cables made for the Tinaudio T2 gives back no results. Can I use these for the T2 anyway or how does that work?- Pronounta
