So I ended up getting a set of these. There is a reason why these cost a bit more. For one these are the smallest L form fitting adapters I have seen to date. Which is a great idea. Then there is this
This is the reason why these cost $30 for a set. Been using a 2 pin OS849 cable on my Mofasest Trio and this L shaped is excellent. The first 2 pin to mmcx that actually works well for me. Excellent quality from these.

Have you guys ordered from this store?

More specifically does anyone know if their adapters are good?

Since I bought the Sony EX800ST I might wanna change the cable and will need an adapter for that.

This cable also looks pretty good: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000419761297.html

Those adapters look identical to the ones on electro acousti web page. Similar price. I recently got a set of those as well. I can tell the Penon ones are a higher quality but those adapters work fine.

Penon doesnt have the mmcx to "EXK" standard though and yeah those adapters do look identical to the electro acousti ones. Just wanted to know if anyone bought from the other store, because that store name doesnt sound very trustworthy lol.

Ya there is that. I bet they are legit they got too many cables and items on their site to be fake. You might have to give it a try.

I dont think so. Cable 173 is also a 4 core cable and that measures really low.

Did I word it that poorly? Meant to ask if it's the result of not only having 4 cores, but also making said cores super thin, like I remember the lowest conductivity cable ever measured to be a 4 core but each core is... probably thicker than the NiceHCK's 4 cores together.

There are cables so you don't have to use adapters...

Perhaps good ones for around the adapter price. Not that many options of course but they are out there.

yeah I saw some, but the connection at the EXK looks really bad quality lol. I also have a lot cables now so I prefer to use them.

Yea i believe the JC ALLY one uses like 22 AWG wire for each core. so it's like ultra thick.

Edit: I wonder if is this one https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32995790233.html... $15 sounds kinda amazing for how ridiculously thick it is, is like Dunu Hulk without the ability to change jacks but for like 1/20th of the price... Unfortunately it always remains currently unavailable to me.

Yeah, JC Ally 4 core cables are crazy big. They border on TOO thick for IEMs IMO. They would be great for headphones though.

Yeah, I's so absurdly thick, You could probably adapt it to drive a HiFiman Susvara.

Edit: I wonder if that sounds like an idea for circumaural headphones. JC ALLY JC04P in 3.5mm end.

AliEx shipment came in recently. Now I have a bunch of mixing and matching to do with all of my cables and IEMs. Should keep me busy for quite a while, which is definitely a good thing for my wallet. I’m probably gonna use a Tripowin C8 cable to stay on my IT00 when it comes in next week.

Looks like a nice little haul there!

Here is a photo comparison between the TRN T3 8 core silver cable and the NiceHCK 4 core Litz silver cable.

The NiceHCK is on the left, and the T3 is on the right.

4 core vs 8 core.

Honestly, I like both cables a lot.
