Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

[10DeeQ]

Got my Null Audio Ethos MKV cable for these with the Senn connection. They need to be snapped in well but then they are quite secure. There is a low effect memory cable by the ears but much easier to work with than the stock cable. Microphonics are less too. I don't believe in much of any SQ change between one good cable to another, but bought this cable for usability not SQ.

Nice choice
I also use null audio ethos on my ie200/600
They are very comfortable
Much better than the original cable

I bought the 4.4 balance connectors version and it work flawlessly with my sony Wm1Am2

Order was placed on 2/11 late night EST, shipping info given 2/15, FedEx had it tracking on 2/16, received 2/20 in NJ

I just used them a couple of times today. I notice no SQ change, still lovely. They are just much much easier to deal with as far as tangling and storing goes, inserting in your ears, and microphonics.

that's exactly what I'm hoping for

Does anybody have the Epsilon cable from Null Audio? I like the Ethos price better, but would prefer a black cable...

I was initially want to get the epilson too
But when I auditioned at their showroom
I feel that the epilson is thicker and a little bit stickier
Thats why i get the ethos in the end

It is normal in audio industry, ~$2.000 64 IEMs still need 3rd party cables and 3rd party cables could be more expensive than IEMs.

Don't hate, congratulate.

mine just arrived. the cable did not cause any problems in terms of comfort. microphonic effect is felt only when the music stops. don't be so picky. I've used kato and autumn before. this things is one level higher than them. first impressions.

I like and am fully satisfied with my default cables too, just the connection with the right IEM being loose on both 3.5 & 4.4 is my only concern.

My biggest gripe about the cable are the extremely short ear loops that stick out and make the whole contraption much less stable than it could be. This also makes putting the earphones on a process, during which I sometimes accidentally disconnect the left one from the cable. For that reason, I am eagerly awaiting my aftermarket cable.

Well maybe you've never had the experience of a good braided cable then and not such stiff memory wire

These are terrible for ease of use and storage and tangling. After having a bunch of IEM's, once you try a good simple braided cable it's tough to go back to the inferior ones.

In case you need some visual comparisons, I snapped a couple pictures of stock vs. null epsilon and stock vs. Brise flex. Shout if you need any others.

Thanks -- it's very useful to see a direct comparison! I ended up ordering the Null Ethos as it has worked for multiple people on this thread.
