Hello, Could someone recommend a Budget (under / around $35 USD) 2.5mm Balance OFC Silver coated cable that Doesn't have the Ear Hooks?

Thanks!

Sold From Amazon preferred since I have Prime.
In the same boat, would prefer cheaper and don't mind AliExpress. Any specific NiceHCK ones I should be looking at?

do you mean ear metal hook or plastic molded ear hook?
cables 054 and 055 from my list, are silver plated ofc wire, and have none ear hook.
Panda's suggestion of spc 16 cores, seems to be the best choice: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32953432742.html
if you find it at amazon, it would be around $55, almost double than ali price.

Unbelievable how long it is taking for my cables to arrive. Yes I am talking about 11.11 cables. Lol. At this rate I might not see any of them till next year.
I mean they say 19-39 days for nicehck and 45 days for some of the other stores so if does not come by next week id be worried but depending on how much you spent it would have been worth it purchase the shipping even it is $30-45. I dont even get the option for regular parcel in canada

Took a bit over month to get to me but got 3 of the 5 cables I orderd .

First up is the 8 core pure silver cable from Lunashops.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-c...743.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.22074c4dkcAFx0

Kick ass cable from lunashops..These are the real deal. So good I replaced the stock alo super litz cable on my Solaris which is a $200 cable with this. And I have to say.The sonics not only improved but the cable itself is a stunner in person. For the $70 asking price. Completely worth your money. Soft pliable not to mention stupendous definition and clarity.

My other cable.

This thing is blingy. Single crystal copper silver plated in gold color. I replaced the stock alo litz cable with this thing. Yes this is $41 on the express. Sounds even better than the stock cable. Bigger bolder sound from this cable on my Andromeda S. Not to mention looks stunning.

So my 3 new cables are all performing as I hoped. Got 2 more I should get soon. Thus far I have been crazy lucky going off of instincts. Lol .

I ended up getting that cable Joker likes a lot. But the alternate version.

Cheaper at $89 vs NiceHCKs which is going for $97 now. They look exactly the same but with different name on them. I guarantee they are the same cables from the same OEM.

Bought one of these too. A new 7N high purity crystal copper cable. Currently going for $79 On NiceHCK page.

Can someone please explain the different sound sigatures of Pure Copper vs. SPC vs. Pure Silver? And also how many cores are needed, etc. I really want to buy a balanced cable for the DM6s, but am confused by all the options/prices. Best quality to price ratio? Thanks!

@Dsnuts
That silver one from Lunashops looks fantastic. What a value if it helps in the sound. Great that it is pliable, nothing worse than getting a great looking cable that is too stiff...

Lower resistance is better?
