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

2 from TRN BT3 and BT10. I liked the TRN ones, but they did have a very faint ‘white noise‘ sound when the music is paused, that bothers some people.

I will check those. Thanks again :)

I'm looking to get a replacement IEM cable for my FitEar IEMs, but I'm having trouble finding a cable under $100 on Amazon or eBay (I'm based in Canada, so looking on the local version of those webstores).

Anyone have any suggestions? I prefer a litz cable or some other cable that isn't stiff and feels like it isn't there.

I’ve found another listing of cable 210 with a big price difference from 2 different NiceHCK stores, is the cheaper one legit? The “official” store only opened last year but has good feedback.

NiceHCK Audio Store
NiceHCK Official store

They are often sold for around that price on sale NiceHCK owns both stores so I would go for the cheaper one
Speaking of cable 210

These are the newest cables from same manufacturer 5N UPOCC cables called the Blocc
DSC07303.JPG I will do a full write up for this one. So far I am impressed. these do remind me of the Oalloy cable 210. Looks more solid actually. Sound characteristics. That Oalloy bass is present. Great staging, fullness, warmth, images cleanly. Sounds fantastic connected to my NF audio NM2.

Are you looking to add a bit more warmth to the sonics or more detail. What is the base sound of the FitEar IEM you have. I can suggest a few cables based on what you are looking for sound character wise. Generally copper cables will add warmth, smooths out treble end a touch. Adds to a fuller body of sound. Bass characteristics.
Silver based would add a to the detail and imaging aspects.

Finally got my Faaeal Litz copper cables. Very impressive on the quality you can get for such a low price now. A year or so when I was still into KZ stuff, I used fengru cables and this Faaeal cable make them look like a joke. Quality on the divider and the connector are really nice, cable is a quite thick for a 4 core cable so durability should hopefully be good.

I am quite interested in the NiceHCK Litz Silver cable, hopefully @Slater be receiving them soon.

hi dsnuts,

No real preference. I’m looking more for ergonomics. My favorite type of cable is a simple black color, litz design, similar to the Campfire Audio type litz. Very weightless and I don’t feel it when I move.

These are pure litz silver cables from NiceHCK. Silver does wonders for dark warm sounding earphones. Brings some light/ treble extension and detail and stage to otherwise dark recessed treble ranges that are overly warm earphones. On sale right now actually. These are in 4 cores so they will be light on the ears.

Cant find an all black with Litz configuration. I can vouch for this copper cable. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000097502378.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.70.61e7664c011RXB

There is an 8 core version of this cable which I have on hand but since you like em lighter 4 cores is the way to go. Copper here will add some fullness, bass impact, and smooths out treble end of otherwise bright phones. Opposite of silver. I don't know if an all black litz cable exists but I would base the purchases here based on what suits your earphones sonic signature. You don't want to go pure silver with bright analytical earphones that will cause ear fatigue. Go with a copper cable instead. visa versa.

These cables will be on sale for next 2 days on niceHCK web site. so good timing.

sorry for the delay, difficult to get time for anything lately. i'm taking photos of the effect audio vogue series cables to add them to the database.
i haven't tried 198 longer, but it's still my basshead choice. i liked bass with cable 210 as well, not so basshead but remarkable bass.
received super copper cable from CEMA electro acousti as well (together with luxury metals -palladium- cables). haven't tried it yet; will compare it to 198 when i finish effect audio vogue comparisons
Hi Hakuzen, sorry to pester.
Did you have a chance to compare cable 198 to Super Copper and palladium cables from CEMA?

Thanks

There are adapters for FitEar staggered 2-pin on AE for as low as about $15 now. Search 'mh334 mmcx' or 'fitear mmcx'.
