I did consider something like the BlueIsland from XinHS offerings, but I asked them for the weight of the cable and they said 50 grams. That's pretty heavy 0.o

It's okay if it's heavy. I really like its design

Sadly, my cable already has problems. The fabric outer layer has a tiny segment of the inner wire bulging out in two places. One is bigger and is basically a loop with fabric on one side and the plastic covered wire on the other. I've contacted Nice HCK to see what they have to say. This is both the shortest amount of time I've owned a cable before it developed a problem and the most disappointed I've ever been with a cable because I loved it for the four or five days I've had it.

After a long and slow back and forth with NiceHCK they have offered me a "$5 partial refund", which seems kind of insulting and absurd. I paid over $100 for a cable that starts falling apart within days of receiving it, I would expect them to replace it and apologize for sending a defective product. I think this stupid cable might be the last thing I ever buy from NiceHCK.

For those in the US and have ordered from XINHS, how long has it taken for you to receive your cables?

About 3-4 weeks.

Is A1/A16/A31 softer than A3? @RikudouGoku @paulwasabii

A1 is stiffer than the A3, one factor for that is because it is 8 vs 4 cores.

Darn, that sucks bc my only complaint with the A3 is that I wish it were a bit softer. It's not super stiff though and feels like it's very durable. Maybe I'll try a 16 core, the Tripowin16 core I've tried was really soft.

A3 is already one of the softer cables in my collection. So yeah, you might want to go for a higher core count to be softer.

So, can someone recommend me a balanced 2.5mm cable below $25usd ? Or even better, a couple of those for $30.

Lots of the cables that are recommended in the firsts pages doesn't exist anymore.

Pick one of the A series based on aesthetics.

Anyone here ever measure the Tripowin Zonie? Probably the most popular IEM cable on Amazon US.

I haven't measured but I've used it. It is the first balanced cable that I bought as I am curious if shifting from single ended to balanced makes huge sonic difference. All in all, it sounds pretty bad compared to any 30 ~ 40$ cables that could be purchased from Aliexpress. If you want something that could allow you to listen to the music, it is fine but you believe that cable could give you different or better sound, it is no go.

Thanks for the list!

Although I'm looking for cables.

I will check the list anyways, seems pretty amazing. Curious to see the KZ KS4 in the bottom of the list.
