I have the kz braided 8 core cable with the metal ends where the pins come out, not the plastic end cables you have shown. They have a blue and red line on each end to signify what side. I didn't fully realize they had other silver cables with the same quality of sound. I'll look into buying some jut I just bought three more of these cables the other day. It was a bad idea since I already have two others. I guess i could sell them to a local. Thanks for the awesome post.
Well, keep in mind that the A and B ends still matter, regardless of metal vs plastic ends, regardless of whether the end is molded straight or angled, regardless of how many wires are braided etc.
That photo I posted was just a marketing photo from KZ. I can post the difference of the metal-ended cables if you’re interested.
The actual difference is at the very end by the pins. It’s whitish plastic, that is AFTER the silver metal with the red and blue lines. This whitish plastic is what fits into the IEM like a key in a lock. So it is this small section of plastic that determines whether a particular cable will fit a particular IEM or not. An A cable will fit into an A or B IEM, but a B cable will only fit into a B IEM (it will not fit A IEMs). This is why I believe TRN made their cables A sized; because they are universal.
So A=A+B and B=B
I have no idea why KZ had to make 2 different sizes. It just causes confusion and problems. They could have made them all A size.
Oh well, what’s done is done
