Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

hello, looking for some cable recommendations. source is a qudelix 5k, ldac 660+ from my s22u phone. my customs are alclair studio3 triple with a 2 pin recessed connection. https://alclair.com/product/studio3/ Three Balanced Armature Drivers Three Way Crossover 104 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz (100mV) 110 dB sensitivity at Peak (100mV) Three Bores -26 dB noise reduction 20Ω impedance at 1 kHz (my cable is thinner, with a memory wire. not the braded pictured)
Now I had them made with the connector at the bottom, vs the normal location to work better under a full face motorcycle helmet. Cable needs to have no ear hook or memory wire. thinking of going 2.5mm for fidelity, but not sure the battery impact on long days on the motorcycle. the cable I would prefer to be black, or dark to not stand out so much. thinking flexible and tighter weave or something, so it slides under my helmet easy, and also under my jacket collar, since the dac is in an inside jacket pocket.
thinking of picking up a cable or 2, sound quality is important, budget say under $100, closer to $50 would be better.

I have a few bookmarked on aliexpress, that were recommended her in the past. just not sure how the feel, flexibility, things like that are.
thanks so very much for any help, I greatly appreciate your time.
NiceHCK 16 or 24 core come without earhooks. ivipQ 24 core have no earhooks but strangely all the XINHS have earhooks. Nothing from Tripowin or TRN. Have you thought of reforming an earhook with heat or carefully cutting off the external thermo-plastic tubing? The NiceHCK 16 cores are very comfortable but I haven't ridden for over 30 years, so I can't tell you how they would be under a helmet.

Any cables that will fit the Abyss Diana TC that will not only fit but not cause connected to break?

I've been using the Shuoer cable, the one that comes with s12, tape pro...

I really like the thickness of this one, I prefer over the kbear rhyme.

Anyone could compare (with photos) the shuoer ones with any 4 cores cables from XINHS?
I would like to pick a pair of twisted cables, but I dont like them more thicker than thw shouer.

Satin Audio is a brand that has been in my radar for quite a while, but never felt the need arise to get any cable from them. Then, when the occasion presented itself, I did not miss the chance to get two cables from them, Gaia II and Theia II, at a reviewer's discount. To know how they are, please have a read here:

Well, getting ready for the summer sale on AliExpress, I would like to pick some custom cables for XINHS, but I need some advice here, Because I'm a little bit lost about materials, thickness and quality of materials.

This one is my prefered setup, twisted, a good looking cooper, perfect for a yuan li or moondrop kato.

€ 41,54 35%OFF | XINSH 4 Core 5N UPOCC Single Crystal Copper Upgraded Cable with MMCX/2PIN/QDC/TFZ 2.5/3.5/4.4mm for KZ TINHIFI T2 BLON BL01
https://a.aliexpress.com/_v1qMK6

But, after some chat with XINHS I see these cables

€ 25,19 25%OFF | Factory direct sales 4 strand single crystal copper LITZ struct Headphone Cable HIFI Balance Audio Cable Conversion Cable Line
https://a.aliexpress.com/_uQhwDC

€ 29,34 35%OFF | Factory direct sales 4 Core Copper Plated Gold Mixed Upgrade Line HiFi Headphone Wire MMCX/0.78mm 2Pin/QDC/TFZ For SE535 UE900S
https://a.aliexpress.com/_u8uUm2

Both of them could be twisted, so no problema about the looking.

Anyone could tell me about thickness quality, and wich is the most similar to the first one?

I have the UPOCC one, bought at the banned YY store, it's quite thick and worth it every penny
