Does any of the decent quality cable makers produce a nice mmcx cable with a 4.4mm terminated with an L-plug?

i know only of the Earmax on aliexpress (looks subpar even in the pictures), the 2 Sonys (the cheaper one is eh, the kimber one is way too expensive), and the Mee one with the plug'n'play "extensions" (i appreciate the versatility, but they're too bulky and don't inspire confidence)

i've scoured a lot of the cable producers who offer quality <200$ cables, but i haven't found a single one with an L-plug (straight plugs are awful for keeping daps in your pants' pockets, particularly bulky ones like the WM1A)

There is dita cable where 4.4 connector is L shape.

I think oc studio can also optimize you need of L shape 4.4 mm as well.

Or you can buy nideon L shape 4.4 plug from e-earphone and send them to cable company to make it for you.

thank you for the suggestions!

that one's insanely expensive for a cable. no way i'm paying 500$ for a cable, as nice as it looks

i'll try contacting them, because nothing on their website indicates they have an L plug, and the pictures on their facebook all show a straight 4.4

Or you can buy nideon L shape 4.4 plug from e-earphone and send them to cable company to make it for you.

does nideon have an english website? i cannot read *insert asian language* and hovering over everything didn't give me an option to change the language to english.

EDIT Just notice that Nideon has only 2.5 L not 4.4 L

I see only pentaconn has 4.4 L here

Very expensive though.

Another one is buying adapter like this : female one for reterminate your cable plug and 4.4 mm one. total $35

I'm looking at getting the Acoustune ARC03. Still deciding...

Edit: about $200USD

that carrying leather case is exceptionally beautiful. is this sold separately?

 

[cthomas]

I know right. It is included. Seems to be a good value cable considering that L-plug is about 80,000 yen and the entire cable is around 180,000 yen.

My only concern is if it's not very flexible and has bad microphonics.

L plug separately sold at 8000 yen and entire cable is 18,000 yen. that additional 0 haha.

I have tried acoustune earphone, from my point of view, it is not stiff or create microphonic at all.

Haha oops, that would be very expensive cable

Just going by a few reviews I've read where people mentioned the stiffness and some microphonics, but that was a review with a similar Acoustune cable, not this specific one.

thank you @cthomas ! that's exactly the stuff i was searching for. going by the picture, it does look a bit stiffer than average, so i'll wait for some impressions/reviews

hopefully the dearth of options is only because currently only pentaconn does L-plugs and they'r expensive. fingers crossed we'll get some more options in the coming months

No problem mate. I actually just ordered it so I'll let you know how it goes
