Anyone else picked up a balanced super smoky litz cable? Love that CA got rid of the memory wire

I've been drooling over that cable ever since I saw the promotional literature for the 2020. Does anyone here use the E02 with a Cayin n6ii? Can you comment on the hiss? I'm thinking of upgrading because I love the look and, admittedly, I miss the "feeling" of inserting a 4.4mm jack (strange as that may sound).

One of my favorite tracks to test sub-bass extension. The low end on this track (especially the last third) is pure insanity.

Just received these strange little tips today. Very sticky and very comfortable but most of all, they sound really great on the Solaris SE! Best plastic based tips I've tried so far on them, the tip of the Solaris's nozzle is very close to the end of the ear tips.... tip, giving it a very clear and unobstructed sound. Highly recommend!

+ some Saturday ear-porn, loving this combo.

After 1 month of waiting, i finally got these iems! As a new audio head, i believe i wont change to other iems in the near future. Great sound and fit compared to my polaris v2.

Beautiful pair! Looking forward to your impressions.

Are these your first sednas? I use regular sednas on my Solaris and they're my favorite tips. I wonder how they compare to the originals (beyond the novelty of being translucent).

They are much different in terms of feel. The material is kind of sticky in the hand, but not really in the ear. I find for me (with other iems) I get a better seal with them because they kind of deform better to my ear, while the normal sednas are just too stiff. They market them as a different material that reacts to body heat to kind of take the shape of your ear, which they seem to do, then return to normal at room temp. My early impressions with them are they they kind of "vanish" in your ear once they sort of settle. Overall a positive experience I think. And definitely unique because they are a totally different material.

Not going to talk too much about sound, because for my purposes they sit low enough down on the stems of the iems I have used them with so far that they just dont obstruct the sound at all. But, the seal they make does seem like its quite good, so for that purpose, I would say its a good thing.

But... they are dust magnets and I find myself wondering how exactly I will be able to wipe them down properly without getting like a wet cloth every time. And they are really really stupidly expensive for tips, to the tune of $30 US for 2 pairs.

Did you get them through Amazon Japan?

No, I considered amazon japan, but ultimately went with mtmt audio when I saw they had them in stock. They are based in Hong Kong, but seem to keep some inventory in the US as I have found shipping with them to be quite quick and always seems to show tracking originating out of the US. Not sure how that would be to ship to Canada for you though, but they are often my goto for eartips when I cant find what I want on amazon. But, they do seem to be priced higher than amazon japan. So theres that to consider.

I just ordered a pair. I had never heard of them before-- free shipping to Canada! Thanks for the tip!

Glad to hear it! Hope your purchasing experience is positive. I have made a few orders with them in the past (pretty much just for eartips) and its always been an easy and smooth experience.

I also have a pair of the light version on the way @Rockwell75 but as @mashuto stated, these are very “sticky” feeling in the hand but in the ear they feel quite nice. I’ve noticed more condensation on the tip of the Solaris though and seemingly an increase in bass impact and better timbre? It's kinda like I’m wearing a foam tip but with no treble attenuation (putting this down to the better seal).

I have so many tips it's insane (3 types of Sednas, Symbios, Spiral dots, spiral dots ++ and many more) and I ordered a pair of these, I'm almost ashamed to say, due largely to the fact that I like how they look. Very curious to see how they fit and sound.

Haha I was in part the same... they do look very cool but as @mashuto said, an absolute dust magnet. I'm thinking of ordering another pair of ML size because the left ear canal is a little narrower but they definitely aren't cheap for what they are! Worth it in my opinion though, curious to hear your opinion.

What cable do you have there ? Never mind just spotted it in your details
