After a quick search I can't find comments on these 4 core 99% Silver KBEAR cables, has anyone seen or tried these?

KBEAR 4 Core 4N 99.99% Purity Silver Earphone Cable with 2Pin/QDC/MMC/TFZ
https://hifigo.com/products/kbear-4...-with-2pin-qdc-mmc-tfz?variant=32250235387953




I use and enjoy the KBEAR 16 core silver / OCC copper cables in various earpiece terminations. I have been looking for a 99% silver option for a while, and the price is right, but I was hoping for more cores, I wonder how these sound?

More cores to 8 or 16 would use 2-4xs the amount of silver wire, upping the price considerably. I surmise they stuck with 4 cores to keep costs within a target range.

I'd assume 16 thin cores would be an option like the Tripowin Zonie?

Those look identical to them new silver NiceHCK cables. In fact KBEAR and the other venders seems to share the same OEM factory where all these cables and even some IEMs are made. Slap a different connector and or shell and you can call it whatever you want. I am fairly certain these are the same cables. YY cables are the same as a lot of NiceHCK ones too. Again they just change the name and call it something else.

I would go for the NiceHCK one as it is cheaper.

Thank you for this i have just confirmed that my Ibasso DC01 is defective i know this is not related to cable but i am also looking at some cables to match my thieaudio legacy 3. Is not having sounds in the left a defect? and right center in and out phase sounds the same. It's very rare to see a post complaining about dac that has defect here in head-fi

Sorry my bad... the dac is not broken it is the converter 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female jack or i think it is not compatible the name of the converter is Ugreen. I have confirmed this by buying another set of the dac.

Anyway, I am currently looking for a cable for my Thieaudio Legacy 3. I love the default cable on this because it is not shiny and the texture is rubber. I am thinking of the Nicehck but still deciding on going full copper, combined copper and silver or full silver. Are cables of nicehck not shiny and rubber texture?

Any recommendations? i want 2.5mm available. Thank you

The nicehck silver litz cables came in. These are worth the cheap price. They are soft and supple. Very light and sound good. Build quality is not bad. It’s worth what I paid for them.

Why are these so cheap? compare to those cables from Moon Audio? What

Its not that these are so cheap, but the others have been gouging for years.

Same as western companies did for years with earphones. The ChiFi companies came in, and everyone asked the exact same question. It’s not that the ChiFi companies were so cheap, but that others had been gouging us for years.

The other reason is because of competition.

I like the sound of silver cables the best. I like the TRN T3 cable a lot, but other recommended affordable silver cables also probably work just as well, like the 4 core Litz NICEHCK silver cable.

I have both and I like the TRN T3 better as IMO it has more of the general characteristics of a silver cable - probably due to having more cores.

Just ordered the TRN T3. Did you guys read the high end cable thread? The original author had some good points as to why the higher end were as expensive as they were - any truth there you think?

But I can't find any balanced cables for my Hifiman Arya, do they only make cables for IEM?

Yes, only IEMs that I am aware of.
