See the post above yours but the most relevant to those specific brands is probably this post -

Interesting. Thanks for this. All clear now.

I think the list needs an update

Despite what the original poster believed, several users bought the HK6 on a whim and also reported similar impressions on the SQ (including @HungryPanda). Such discussions regarding cables are best left at the sound science thread. Personally, I'm at the camp where "if you changed cables and the SQ improved, then your original cable was kinda crappy to begin with".

Cables with different impedances (not materials) may or may not make a difference in the frequency response depending on the iem's impedance profile. That's why these measurements are useful, albeit not 100% conclusive for everything.

As to materials: don't forget the internal wiring is part of the chain and it is not changed when connecting a different cable. It is the bottleneck even if the cable claims were true.

I have swapped the stock cable of my very well resolving UE900S with a $7 "silver" cable: no sonic difference found.

Does anyone have brand info or an AE link to mmcx cables that are quite short? Something like these -

It doesn't have everything ever banned on HF; just the primary ChiFi ones (that have caused the biggest stink in the last couple of years).

Thanks, this helps a lot

I was asked to review some stuff from really lower ChiFi stuff, but if they are not allowed here I won't share anything about them here

I don't know exactly from whom yet tho, so will further investigate

Done!

Imo it's always a good idea to read the first post in a thread before starting posting in it as first posts often contains basic information, faq etc. Or we can just repeat everything every ten pages.......

Just my 2c

For sure I do that usually, but this is an 1000 pages thread, I didn't expect the first post to have precisely that info, especially since the first post was from 2016

@peter123 What do you make of this FR Graph

That it's useless due to lack of interval numbers on the axis?

Half kidding but without it it doesn't really say much

I wonder why these people provide such a useless graphs.. just to show some thing perhaps.

Yeah, I can't understand why anyone that knows why people would like to see a graph would publish something like that...

The phonograph released yet another glaring review of a KZ earphone: this time the ES4...which they put ahead of the ZS10 in their points scheme: http://www.thephonograph.net/kz-es4-review/

Do we believe it?

The frequency response graph is still V-shaped, though.
