Anyone know of any cables like the KBear rhyme or nicehk stuff with a decent mic? Actually just any decent/bang for buck cable with a good mic/remote on it would be appreciated.

This mic

for instance is garbage in my experience if its the same as the one on an mmcx cable from bgvp i have.

KZ pink cable. Very good and comes with mic. Only caveat is that it doesn't come with mmcx pins. Only 2pin connection. Costs $3-4 and also, folks who have measured it have found it to have good stats. Also known as KZ OFC cable.

I purchased these cables with mic. One with each of the 4 types of plugs. So far they work well. Nothing special though.

Thanks heaps guys.

I am looking for a 2 pin cable at the moment for some c10's and v90s i have on the way.

Do you have a link? I didn't turn up anything on searching.

Cheers, it's that mic that i'm wanting to avoid, looks identical to the one i have. That said i have a sample size of precisely one. It might be faulty. How do you find the mic quality?

Here you go. It has dedicated pins for IEMs you have mentioned, that's a plus.

Hey guys, what is the difference between the TRN T3 and the T3S?

Seems to be a different 2pin.

Seems like it's meant to fit the Para C socket for KZ and TRN iems. Other OEMs would classify it as QDC, but they're(TRN) using .75mm instead of the normal .78mm

I have a cable 175 available for sale if anyone is interested, along with a couple other UP-OCC cables.

I just had a few TRN-T3 delivered today. I wish I'd read the product page more carefully instead of just looking at the pretty pictures. These cables are 10 cm shorter than customary.

Oh, yes they are. Sorry I forgot to mention it previously. It has just not been an issue for me thus far.

Spoiler: Kbear Limpid

(Left = limpid, right = litzps)

Kbear Limpid VS NiceHCK litzps:

Limpid advantage:
Working chin-slider
L/R marked with blue/red colors (very visible)
stronger earhooks
Better looking divider/connector (for me)

Litzps advantage:
a bit cheaper (22.61 vs 23.65 usd)
softer earhooks


I would take the Limpid over the litzps due to the looks and because they both measures around the same, Limpid = 0.46 ohm vs Litzps = 0.53 ohm, most likely unit variation and are exactly the same cable.

Spoiler: Kbear Rhyme

(left = rhyme, right = C8)

Kbear Rhyme VS Tripowin C8

Rhyme advantage:
higher quality divider/connectors
red marking for right connector
Lower measurement (0.23 ohm vs 0.34
much cheaper (20.69 vs 29.99 usd)

C8 advantage:
besides the looks, none


The Rhyme makes the C8 100% redundant and a worse cable at a much higher price, not much to say about this comparison other than that. They do look really similar (different colors) but the measurements are a bit lower on the Rhyme so most likely not the same cable.

just curious, has anyone ever measured the impedance of stock cable of the Blon BL03?

 

[IEMusic]

Other than price, I think there is another key advantage to buying from AliEx during a sale, shipping. My guess is that the total number of orders is a lot bigger after a sale, thus enough items have accumulated for shipments to go out right away. The products I’ve purchased have been shipped within a few days, and within a week, they are at or thru US Customs. The rate limiting step has been domestic shipping.

 

[Poganin]

Yes, the deliveries from the sale at the end of August were about 1.5 weeks faster for me, too.

I measured it today (no mic) - 0.7, 0.9, 0.7 Ohm, very similar to (may be a touch above) a typical stock TRN/KZ cable. Blon stock cable has fairly rigid ear guides, so it is quite hard for the fit; while its electrical resistance may not be much of a problem for a single-DD BL-03 with the impedance of 32 Ohm.
