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

Any suggestions for a replacement cable for Hook-X?

I want to try a XINHS Cable and these are the options available to me.

I second that. Had that cable before and it was really good

Great, Ordered the 8 Core one. I was going to go for Hakugei Copper cable but the above mentioned cables were available locally and I've heard good things about XINHS Cables so wanted to give them a try. It should arrive in a week, sadly I have to leave for a trip so won't be able to try the cable until 2 weeks later .

Thanks for the suggestions.

The NiceHCK Blackcat “oil soaked copper” cable currently has a 75% off voucher. Has anyone tried it?

I've ordered one, but from here instead https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004780245743.html, also have one of these on the way https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004611858074.html not to mention a bunch of assorted 24 core NiceHCK cables that were on special.

I think I may have a cable problem, in addition to IEM Acquisition Syndrome!

For that price, I went with EarAudio cables, although that was about ₹1500 costlier. Are you from Delhi or Delhi NCR by the way? Can meet with you and check in that case.

Ooh, nice find with the OrangeSir cable. I may share both those problems!

No, I'm from Warangal, close to Hyderabad.

I didn't know EarAudio sold IEM Cables, I've got their Balanced Cable for Edition XS and it works pretty well.

Just checked their Website and it say there are no products in this collection.

Just message them on Facebook or Instagram. Niranjan Nande is always happy to help.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind although my next cable purchase will probably be Ares S. I see that you have this cable in your inventory, can you DM me your experience with the cable?

I remember seeing a thread for Effect Audio cables here on Head-Fi, I'll go thru that thread too.

My impression is listed there as well. I'll pm you the link.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Tripowin C8?

I have one. The cable is nice, but it oxidize really fast and gets ugly. That's only problem which can be a deal breaker.
Other than that the cable is pretty good for the $.

I had the same issue with Tripowin Zonie cable.

I recently got a XINHS Cable which looks a bit similar to C8 and it seems like a better alternate.
