I like the design of the iBasso CF01 but the cable that connects the IEMs is too thin and looks like it is easy to break compared to the rubberized cable of the UTWS3. I also heard from reviewers that the UTWS3 has more bass than the CF01

Looks can be deceiving. Closest comparison I can come to on the cable quality/feel is that of the Campfire Comet's. Has a similar braid and same sort of durable insulation I get from that cable. No concerns about breaking.

I just noticed the silver cable coming with my T800 starts to turn green. Some portion has more discoloration than the other parts. I am just wondering if I am the only one to experiences this issue, 'cause it seems this problem has not been discussed in this thread.

That's normal oxidation. I get it with other so called silver cables too and with the T800 stock cable (I have had it for two years).

It won't affect the sound, just an external blemish.

I am not really concerned with sound. Even if the oxidation has some effects, I am sure I will not be able to hear. I am concerned with the look of the cable. I just do not want to walk around with a green cord hanging in front of my chest, especially if the green color is not even.

I agree especially with using it in public but a decent 8 core cable is very inexpensive these days.

Do you have any suggestionss? I am afraid of buying a new one, just to find out it discolors in a few months.

I've bought a good amount of cables from these guys. All of them still hold up years later:

Well, looks like the DT300 is delayed yet again. Seems they have problems with the QC for the outside shell. Seems it be later than June 18th.

For the T800, I bought the FDBRO cable when I first got them, and haven't looked back since.

Also, HERE is an excellent thread concerning budget IEM cables. Give it a read?!

THIS is a fantastic thread that will actually show you measurements on a ton of cables out there, so you don't have to trust someone else's ears (to a point), and can make a decision based on a combination of opinions (the last link), and science (this link).

I also got some cable measurements in my database.

I did not realize that. Awesome share then!

A bit off topic, but looking at your database/rankings, I assume you didn't get to go through the Dunu budget side of IEMs like the DK2001 and DK3001 Pro?

No I havent heard those Dunu iems.
