Aftermarket IEM Cable List (Now more Visually Stimulating)
Jun 1, 2016 at 1:07 AM Post #196 of 225
Fiio actually started making a bluetooth remote RM1 recently which you can wear in a number of ways...I think it is only for the x7, though.


I think a lot of custom cable makers mentioned here can modify your existing cables with a remote, or reterminate a remote cable that works to 2-pin, or create a new cable from scratch with a remote you provide. They may not list it in their store pages but can contact and ask.

The FIIO remote unfortunately is only for X7.
So you would recommend to just mail some cable makers and ask them directly? My first 2 tries have not been really helpful in that area. First one wasn't able to include a remote, second one couldn't confirm if this will work with the FIIO.
That's why I am hoping for feedback from someone who has a cable that's working... Otherwise I will have to do it your way.
Thanks

Hey guys, I just got a custom Beat Audio Signal cable, its pretty sweet. There is no sound quality differences between this and the stock UE cable (sorry cable believers, you aren't going to convince a physicist that there is anything but placebo sound) however the cable length, quality ect makes me happy with my purchase. Love using it with my nobel audio bts. Whats better is they didn't charge me anything extra for the custom work!

True many after market cables wont change the sound. In thise cases I would not spend my money in looks. I will usually demo 20 upgrade cables before buying one and I buy the one that improves the over all sound.

Finally managed to acquire the specific cables+litz variation that I've wanted, and custom remade using specific configurations, using specific components and solders to ensure that nothing is holding the cable back. 

Can anyone guess what these cables are :p

1) Your BTS already loses so much details that the cable isnt going to make much difference. And the Beats cable is pretty much a slightly more expensive stock cable, so obviously you wont hear much difference. Try throwing an upgrade cable from the big names and you will probably change your tune. 

2) Its kind of funny that your mentioned your major. coz while I personally graduated with an Social Science degree, I do have a friend who study Physics as his major, and is a strong believer of cable affecting sound, and *gasp* 'burn-in' (I could almost hear the breath of silent scorn and condemnation). He spends weeks just burning in all new cables before actually using it, and tweaks the burn in using specific audio tracks depending on what he hears every now and then. 

Thankfully, he didnt let his degree prevent himself from letting his own ears from being the judge. Granted tho, he does use a very sensitive IEM, with a rather good source (AK380CU + IC + AMP), as his portable rig. Heck, he even went to change the power cable to increase the sound quality from his home speaker set up. 


Cheers.

1) I can connect directly to my phone. I have tried big name cables (I used to own ALO cables, I've auditioned whiplash audio).
 
2) It isn't my major, its my profession. Cables do make a difference, but it is very cheap to make a clean cable. The problem is it is very cheap to make a high quality audio cable. Here is a pretty easy read from quora: https://www.quora.com/Audiophiles-Does-the-audio-cable-make-a-difference-in-terms-of-sound-quality. What ever makes you happy is what you should purchase. 
 
Have a good day.

I have the Silver Sonic MKV from Beat Audio. Use them with some recessed socket Unique Melody IEMs. Really liked the cable, while it lasted. I take great care of my stuff, and have only had it since March, and the cable is already gone in the right channel. Contacted Stephen and awaiting a response. For $200 USD they better honour their one year warranty.
 
Stupid question, though: I'd like a cheap replacement cable in the meantime. Does anyone know if Ultimate Ears' legacy cable will work with my recessed socket Unique Melody IEMs? They look similar...
