I am happy with the stock cable for the Smabat ST-10. It fits comfortably and does not annoy me.

That is why I just ordered a spare ANN200.. with the copper cable. I believe that the orange Kube V1 that the Royal Mail accidentally sent back to the seller will be included in the package... along with a few other things we ordered. Panda will be getting one of the Faaeal Original Batch (I already have one) and a Dunu E10. We will each be getting a Moondrop Shiro-Yuki. Really excited to try those.

Thanks everyone for highlighting the resale of the ANN200 (+ copper cable!) - totally looking forward to them - the perfect companion to the duo of Kubes 1& 2, plus of course the ST10's!
- Easily my favourite quad of buds

Cool!.....I love wearing them down whilst burning in, with a balanced cable!

the downside is where and how to find the cable which will be the best for the price (how much to spend is another issue, as even 100$ is imho does not worth to be spent for that in the end) and which will work well with st-10 in terms of comfort))
the search itself is a huge issue, as upgrade cable can be of not justifying the price for upgraded sound in comparison with stock version of sound and in general.
Definitely, few cables are required in order to choose, at least, the most working for the one who is searching in his certain conditions.

Cables in headphones, probably, are the most vulnerable part of it and requires lots of hustle...

any recommendations for specific one?)

The real downside, as far as I can tell, is that you actually believe you probably have to spend $100 to get a cable that is worthwhile. If I have $100 in my budget, it will go straight to a new earbuds (or two, or three... you get the idea) instead of new cable, as I am more of a 'practical user' when it comes to cable - meaning I only buy cable I deem practical in use, not based on how euphonic it might / could be. Why? because almost all cable sellers are selling their cable on the cable's imaginary euphonic value rather than its practical value, and interpreting how euphonic a cable sounds has less consensus than people believing in whether earth is rounded or flatted, so to speak.

Anyway, don't really have any magical sound cable I can recommend you - but if I were to get a cable myself, I'll probably try the new FiiO pure silver cable that should be just a little over $100. As it is from FiiO, so we can at least be sure it should actually be pure silver, and you don't really get price that cheap from any other 'fancy' cable maker.

another good cable around the $100 is the Ibasso CB12s, super soft and comes in balanced with a 3.5mm adapter. Very good value IMO.

The Linsoul DTM A8 have a much bassier sound signature although mids and treble are fine

Does silver cable make any difference on this.

Not taking into account the fit, everybody should try the KDE250. Listening to music at a low volume has never been so enjoyable. All details are there... The bass is so detailed, mids are there so soft and highs are at the best level. In a quiet place, at night listening to You Weren´t There Anymore (Negative Gemini) it is unbeatable...

KDE 250 is very nice

Hi, did U get your ANN 200 from Indonesia seller?
Thank you!

Guys Smabat ST-10 or Toneking TO-600? (i prefer my buds to have good lows)
OR is there anything better than those two under 150$

The ANN200 with the copper cable along with the rest of that order has shipped today. I only ordered it on Friday.

i do already own an ANN200 with the black cable from an earlier order and I like it so much that is why I ordered the second one. Other people have also made positive comments about their ANNs. I think this is my fourth order with this seller. He is very reliable if that is what you are wondering.

I keep being tempted whenever it surfaces on Massdrop (blahblahblah rebranding change) but I've yet to bite because the fit *is* supposed to be so finicky and I've already got travel-sized noisemakers for my ears that I'm quite happy with, but it's so fascinating in its weird design and I had a pair of cheap Radio Shack-branded Sony foldable earphones-with-a-headband that had the same mini-speaker-pointed-into-your-ear setup that I happily used for several years as airplane earphones... >->

Both of these have MMCX - so is that one of your requirements?
If not, you might also consider the K's K600.
