Hey guys.
Most of my iems are 2 pin, do i need a specific type of 2 pin to work with each manufacturer
of iem that i have?

For instance i have lots of KZ's and CCA's also TRN's and TFZ's
Will any old 2 pin bluetooth cable work? or are they brand specific?

Also i have seen some bluetooth cables for 17$ and 24$ online.
Should i stay away from cheap ones? or can they be really good, just like the chifi iems?

Thanks

Hey Thank you!!!
I will check out that site.
I just wanted to get 1 pair of bluetooth cables so i could help my mom hear the TV better.
She has a really nice 4k TV at her house but the sound sucks.
I figure i could give her 1 pair of my IEMs plus a bluetooth cable.
I know her TV is a smart TV and it supports bluetooth. so...
Thank you very much

Would a soundbar not be easier?

Maybe a sound bar would be easier. But the problem is my mom has a lot of difficulty hearing
dialogue. She watches movies and she can’t tell what anyone is saying.
im not sure if a sound bar would be good for those mid frequency, center channel voices.
so I figure I could give her one of my IEMs that’s more mids oriented.
im not really sure, but for 20-30$ it seems worth a try.
thanks.

Common complaint about the mixing. Main reason I've given up on watching stuff.

Apple TV with BeatsX BT IEM’s would be a good way to go

 

[Solar1971]

Not sure i like the Apple TV part.
I had an Apple TV a long time ago, and it sucked.
I returned it after about 1 week.

Did they add a fully functional Browser yet?
Thanks for the advice but i think i will avoid Apple TV for now.

Avoid all of KZ's BT cables. Bad antenna/signal.

TRN BT3 & BT10 were good (BT10 neck cable cover was annoying).

The TRN BT3S is probably better and what I would recommend on the cheap end. The .78 2-pin should fit most .75 & .78 2-pin IEM's. The variation in size is close enough it won't be an issue imo.


If it has extended 2-pin connectors like some do, you could get an adapter that uses the MMCX version of the cables for about $10-12.




Then there are more expensive options with better codecs, battery, features, etc. Fiio LC-BT2, Shure RCME-BT2, etc.

thank you. So the BT3 Bluetooth cable is good. Ok thanks again.
I will look into those.

Go with the TRN BT3S. Better chip and longer battery life.


Or if you want a possibly easier for her to use solution. Fiio uBTR is only $20 and uses the normal 3.5mm cable.

If latency (audio delay) is an issue you may need to step up to something with APT-X LL. Like the above mentioned LC-BT2 or BTR3K.


If she does not want to fiddle with IEM's and cables, I'd look into closed back BT headphones.
