Yes but usually with adhesive heatshrinks

Anyone tried to make a headphone cable with SOMMERCABLE CAPTAIN FLEXIBLE? they claim it's very flexible https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/bala...shielded-ofc-copper-2x022mm-o65mm-p-9929.html

Seems to be like my mate Mal, a bit thick

I plan to braid it, so I will remove the shield and sleeve, the wires are 24AWG they shouldn't be too stiff?

Any experience with these connectors? https://aliexpress.com/item/1005001701092840.html or https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/xlr-...-way-male-xlr-connector-o8mm-unit-p-3679.html

What exactly do you want to know about those XLR connectors?

Are they good? they're very cheap compared to Neutrik.

Hi all I asked this on another topic but didn't get a lot of replies. Maybe here, who knows !
I'm looking for custom headphone cable makers based in Europe and at affordable prices. I have a 5-cable project with very precise specs.

I was about to do business with Alan Lovell (UK) 6 months ago, but he suddenly went AWOL.
I know many cable makers in the US (Hart Audio, Halby, etc.), but shipping + taxes make it difficult for me to buy from them.
So, any european alternatives ?

Thanks chezzer. Nice looking cables. Way too expensive for me unfortunately.
£100 or more for a single cable, and I need 5 of them ? (7 actually - 5 x 25cm HP cables + 2 x 1m50 interconnects). Impossible.

You're going to be hard pressed to find much cheaper than that, if at all. Cables aren't fast or super easy to make.

 

[Jose Hidalgo]

I already found much cheaper. Unfortunately we can't order at the moment.

Good luck with that.

You said it yourself, dude went awol. If that's the outfit I'm thinking of he had a lot of open orders that either didn't or still haven't been fulfilled.
