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

Has KBEar Rhyme lost its title of the flavour of the month?
It seems to be that way, but it’s still one of the better inexpensive all-copper cables. The KBEAR Rhyme, the NiceHCK LitzOCC, and of course the Faaeal copper cable. I think the Tri Through is the current SPC leader.

I would get this one instead. This cable is a few bucks more but is most definitely better quality cable. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...Q&spm=a2g0o.store_home.slider_6000218134077.0

I recently did a review for this particular cable and I like it much better than your standard copper cables which is what that 16 cored copper cable is. Worth a few bucks more.

The LitzOCC is a higher quality copper in Litz structure. while the 16 cored cable you posted looks nicer and uses more material. This 4 core LitzOCC will give better transparency and detail for your earphones vs them.

If you dont care about that. Then go with the cheaper cable.

Sheesh , I know 0 about cables . But is that pure silver one better than this good copper one you mentioned?

So which earphone are you planning to use the cable for anyhow? Reason I ask is because it will be dependent on what earphone your matching up the cables to and also what is your source.

Maybe...but I don't care because I have it on 3 of my iems (all in 2.5 balanced format) and it sounds great on all 3. An improvement over my JCally 8 core balanced copper, and even my Tripowin Zonie balanced. The mostly copper with a bit of silver, makes this cable a standout. Construction is exemplary and I have found in my cable journey that I prefer 8 core vs. 16 core for weight and comfort.

Funny how cable costs same as BLons themselves :) But cables don't affect sound -right ? I'll wait for boxing day for some promos
During sales, which is when cables should be purchased on AliExp, the KBEAR Limpid can be purchased for $17 or less, so less than the BL01.

Hey,

any suggestions for a cheap and good cable for ISN H40 and Fiio FH3 that supports the quality and quantity of the bass and offers a good soundstage?

At the moment I have the original cables of the H40 (quite nice) and the FH3 (don't like it, not soundwise but the haptics are bad).
Also I have the NiceHCK 16 Core High Purity Copper Cable and I like them because they don't have "hangers" at the part of the ear, also nice haptic and feeling.

I am using the Tri Through on my FH3.

I recently received my order for 2 Yy 7N Pure Silver IEM Cables. I must say, the build quality is outstanding. It is a very robust cable, that looks nice, and sounds great. I can’t confirm that it is truly pure silver, but it seems to sound like a silver cable should 🤷‍♂️. Its build is as thick and substantial as the MEST cable.
