That's definitely a nice cable quality and sounding cable, but the hook design and materials would be a -1 for me.
I love the hook design. So comfortable and low profile.

Yeah I agree. Shortly after taking that photo above, I switched back to the stock cable and sent the Leo II to EA for a 2-pin reterminationAs much as I love the Leo II I also love the stock Z1R cable. They definitely set the bar hella high for OEM cables.
I loooove the hardware on this. The black rectangular connectors are justHey, everyone. My review of @EffectAudio's brand-new EVO 10 has just gone live on TheHeadphoneList.com! Though it's probably garnered most attention because of its swappable faceplates, I do think it's one of Effect's most interesting-sounding cables to date. It's got a lively, coloured, dynamic sound, but it's done in this smooth, broad, immersive fashion that I think will gel with a lot of people's preferences, and a lot of IEMs as well. As always, I hope you enjoy the review. Cheers!
I wonder if the Cleo would be a good pairing for the Z1R?Here is my take on the latest EA Cleopatra Pure Silver Litz cable. For sure, Cleo ain't your typical silver cable!
Generally speaking, I’m wondering what EA cable would be the best pairing for the Z1R?I wonder if the Cleo would be a good pairing for the Z1R?
Does anyone have an impression of a odin+ code 51 besides alex? Been planning to get an odin. And i just ordered the code 51 for my project k a18t. So I was wondering if it will be a good match for the odin.
It's like you read my mind my leo 2 is on it's way to EA to be bespoke leo cleo and was wondering about that. And the one im suing with my 18t is the pw4 wire im actually mins blown you answeres all my future inquiries in one go i cant believe it anyways now im so excited for the code 51 odin combi. It think the sp2000 will add thrbloat sparkle on this combi. What source do you pair this combo?I do, and it's my favorite pairing. The stock cable is very good on Odin, but I like the Code 51 better. It's even smoother to my ears, and produces a fuller bass impact. It makes the signature a touch warmer, which I think the Odin benefits from. The most noticeable to me is the larger bass impact though. Treble is a touch more natural, where it may have lost just an ounce of sparkle vs. the 1960. Overall, a great trade-off for me and it makes the Odin more versatile. Just my 2 cents, I would never recommend someone go out and replace a $1k cable with a $2k cable based on my own random thoughts But I enjoy it!
Other cables I've tried on Odin: 1960 4w (too bright, too lean), Horus X (same) and Leo II/Cleo bespoke (better than the first two, but still prefer Code 51).

Most of my listening is done on my iDSD Pro desktop combo, specifically on the "tube+" setting for Odin (but it's still a pretty neutral source). For DAPs, I use the Hiby R8 and I think that's a great match for the Odin signature-wise. Tiny bit of hiss on Turbo mode, but I'm not super bothered by that.It's like you read my mind my leo 2 is on it's way to EA to be bespoke leo cleo and was wondering about that.

Are the Odin senstive? Or is it just the turbo mo being too powerful? I just went the same route as your they finally arrived. Kinda disheartened at first since my dealer showed me empires reply was the earliest odin would arrive in 12 weeks but whala!it arrived in just 4. Thanks empire! EA is incredible just 4 days from SG to ph even with conx option. I'll share you my impression once i get them. Thanks again CollinMost of my listening is done on my iDSD Pro desktop combo, specifically on the "tube+" setting for Odin (but it's still a pretty neutral source).

Enjoy the Odin and Code 51 if you go that route!

Got the cables back and yes, the ConX connectors fit very wellYeah, this was exactly why I was asking. The Z1R have a slightly non-standard mmcx connection. EA folks, it might be worth considering having a Z1R connection for the ConX system.
Looks awesome with the Z1R!Got the cables back and yes, the ConX connectors fit very well
