Hi all,

I've spent a lot of time reading reviews about good IEM Bluetooth solutions. I don't want the Fiio BTR3/5 or ES100 because I don't want an extra device to carry around and would really just like to get of a cord from my IEM's down to my pocket.

As such I'm looking for a good Bluetooth MMCX cable. I've looked at the KZ AptX HD cable and the reviews aren't amazing. I've spent hours on Aliexpress looking at other options and below are what I've narrowed down based on features and reviews.

This thread could eventually serve as a resource for anyone else looking for quality Bluetooth cable solutions.

Do let me know if you have any experience with any of these and/or recommendations?

I had the 2nd gen kz aptx ones and wasn't too impressed. Had connectivity problems, probably poor bt antenna design which most kz stuff seems to suffer from.

I also had the TRN BT10 which was way better but the neck area was weird.


TRN also has the newer BT3S, which I haven't tried but maybe a good option.

I'd probably avoid anything not Bluetooth 5.0.

Thanks. The Kz AptX Hd has just arrived. Cable is so long, not happy, but no connectivity issues so far.

The search continues...

I have a Shure BT-2 that I use with the iBasso IT01 and it gets louder than I care to listen at and the sound quality is quite good but the IT01’s do lose a bit of bass over wire connection but otherwise pretty good.

There is also this Mee audio cable https://www.amazon.com/MEE-audio-Bluetooth-Resistance-Microphone/dp/B07NDN1NGZ
I am using it with my FH7 and the only issue so far is microphonics if I walk or run while wearing it. It also has 3 Eq settings

I am also using the above mentioned https://www.amazon.com/MEE-audio-Bluetooth-Resistance-Microphone/dp/B07NDN1NGZ
I love them for mowing the lawn or short dog walks. It is not going to make any reference lists but the fact that I can choose my IEMS for BT is enough for me. As mentioned there are 3 eq settings and they are very different from each other so that is a plus. For those situations I am not looking for anymore.
