Of my cheap cables I like the Kinboofi ones the best for the reasons silverfishla stated.

This one is a bit more spendy but worth the money it seem. I believe Joker bought one of these last time they were on sale. Comes with all sorts of connectors in the form of adapters.

Yes, these are GREAT cables. I know they aren't budget cables, but yet I guess they technically are. Can you imagine what they would cost if they had a non chifi name and logo on them? I highly, highly recommend them!

Here is one of my absolute favorite cables, at any price point. The best part is that it's on sale for only 33.00 bucks during the 11/11 sale. The only negative for me is it's lack of a chin slider. Sonically, it's a musical beast and is well worth it's normal asking price.

Can anyone recommend a better copper cable that doesn't decolor? Cheaper is better for me

This one is for HD6XX HD58X owners. I own these cables. Excellent cables for the cost..Will be most definitely worth your money to buy one of these. Every sense a nice upgrade to your headphones.

I have been unimpressed by this shop. I bought a HD700 cable that wasn't made correctly and never did get a satisfactory response. They neither refunded or replaced it as they insisted it was right when one channel has never worked. I was out of town the week the cable arrived so didn't make a claim for 7 days which they keep insisting is proof I broke them. I'd avoid this shop but ymmv.

+1 I have two of these and the only drawback is they are a bit on the heavy side for small iems.

Lunashops makes a lot of nicer cables for cheap but unfortunately they have a ho hum kind of customer service. For the most part they give what is advertised but I did recieve a cable that was not finished. It was lacking a strain relief where the connecter was and while I still use the cable with no issues it doesnt look finished at all. since the cable works with no issue I didnt say anything but I agree they can do better. I still think they are worth getting cables from however.

These adaptors are a great idea.

i've just received this:

it's a better solution. around 1-1.5mΩ

Good call. They're a tad heavy, so I can see how that may potentially be an issue with someone. I don't notice it with any of my over ear style iem's though, but as always, ymmv.

You mean male 4-pin XLR mail to female 2.5mm TRRS adaptor if your headphones are terminated in 2.5mm TRRS I suppose ?

I use these from Taobao for my desktop headphone amp. Very cheap and very good quality. ( Note that different lengths can be specified, so in effect allows for use as a cable extender for short cables used in many headphones and earphones. )

But if Aliexpress is easier to deal with for you, they can be bought for quite a bit more :

I'm take a look, but I mean a (amp) male 4 pin XLR to 2 - 2.5mm male TRS connections for the headphones.

These look nice, tempted by the 11/11 offer... Like the idea not to waste valuable resources.

Which of the three offered variants (silver, silver/copper or gold-plated) should one get (to use with a BGVP DM6, which seems to prefer copper)?

Or may the above mentioned Nicehck pure copper from Taiwan cable be the better alternative soundwise?

I found these which are essentially the reverse, good for those of us with lots of 2pin cables.

I can only recommend the pure silver cable, as that's the only one I own, but I can highly recommend it! I use it on an 8 driver, all BA iem, so I feel it would probably pair well with the 5 BA DM6 as well. I believe I am going to order the silver/copper variant during the Ali sale because of how impressed I am with their pure silver one. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with any off them though, as they're all made by the same company and seem extremely high quality.
