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

Could you briefly describe how different? The Faaeal copper cable is good but not great for warm iems. I've been also eyeing the NiceCHK pure silver litz.

As an example the Blon 03 for many people has a bloated bass which some would want to change. The silver litz 4.4mm cable from my HiBy R5 thins out the bass, which the copper cables do not.

Thanks. On the BL03, I'm using NiceHCK 16 core spc and it tightens the bass. So the "pure" silver would go a step further? Is there any impact on mids, like sounding thinner or less recessed?

I've not noticed major differences to mids, on the Blon 03, maybe the treble is a bit crisper but that could be because the bass is slightly thinned out. I think if you are happy with how you perceive your SPC cable then that is the crux of the matter. Your enjoyment and inspiration is what counts. If you are unhappy or want to experiment with the sound then the Silver Litz cables are about $20 or so from NiceHCK,

Look what finally arrived since it was ordered on early June.

Now I have a cable that doesn't tug the BL-03 out of my ears anymore. Together with the tips you see here, any fit issues I had with the BL-03 are straight up GONE. So not sure if anyone will believe me but my BL-03 fit is actually good now.

The sad part probably is that is not that this cable stands out in any way so much as the BL-03's stock cable being essentially garbage tier.

It also feels like a heavier, slightly more rigid shoe lace, so I had some oddly satisfying time twirling it and twisting it around before actually plugging them in.

It's also quite a bit heavier than stock cable. It's still light enough that once I trigger zen mode, I'll forget there's a cable hanging over my ears.

(Kbear Limpid = top, Tri Through = bottom)

(Faaeal litz copper = top, Tri Through = bottom)


Measurement = 0.15 ohms!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The connector on the 4.4mm jack has some weight to it so it feels very high quality. Ear hooks are transparent so with the silver color on the cable itself, it is very hard to see the ear hooks and they arent as strong as on the Faaeal cable. Chin-slider that works.

This is epic. Awesome cable. For those of you that wanted a silver colored Faaeal cable this is it and this is actually a bit better since the connectors/divider are higher quality and also has a working chin-slider.
Although best cable in terms of value is still the Faaeal cable due to it being quite a bit cheaper (around 10 usd djfference).

I’m loving these combinations. Will probably keep them this way. Aesthetics are also playing a role in these matchups.

Hi guys, what's the most bang for buck cable for blon 03? Also i'm not sure what type of cable to go with with blon 03 that synergizes the best with it (spc, pure silver, pure copper ... im confused)
Pure silver. The KBEAR Limpid (same as NiceHCK 4 core silver litz), or if you’re okay with a shorter length cable, the TRN T3 is a bit thicker, 8 core.

Has anyone compared KBEAR's silver 4 core vs their 8 and 16?

Has anyone tried the THICC JCALLY 4-core cable? I'm considering buying the KZ TFZ 0.78mm config for my 2-pin (no housing, fits 0.75mm) IEM cause they're really cheap (around 5.90 USD)

I got KZ ZAX, and I can hear some static noise. Tried faaeal hibiscus cable and still hear the noise. YY cable came today, which i bought to be used with NM2+, tried with ZAX, and the noise came down a lot. Got to thank dsnuts for recommending that cable for NM2+
Which yy cable is good because there’s too many options and im getting a headache. And if possible the AliExpress listing for it. thanks.


Edit: and why the heck is yy’s full name censored
