Any recommendations for a good MMCX cable with microphone?

I prefer ones with no memory wire, or curved ear loops. Need to upgrade Toneking Dendroaspis buds.

Also, I found these on ebay, but not too sure on the quality:

Thanks in advance!

Is there a Xinhs version of Golden Fall? There are 4 that look similar - 3 of them are around $60 and the other is $80.

The material in the specs for each one is "5N single crystal copper plated silver".

Are the XINHS versions you have found also with LITZ conductors?

Golden fall doesn't include gold in it. So those look similar with goldenfall but not the material i guess. You can buy WhiteCrane equivalent as they use same copper material, furukawa copper, and the sound sigunature was not so different.

Goldenfall is 4 cores. Just message the store and ask about it as I do not believe he has it listed. Or at least since last time I asked about it.

I also asked if the cables you posted were the same as the new KZ cables. He said no but wasn't sure about the specifics on the KZ cable. Looks very similiar.

It does not say so in the description, but in one of the images it looks there are some gold plated strands, what do you make of it?

The wire you've found looks more like new KZ wire:

This looks like golden fall:

but theres no wire specs so cant confirm

The cable exists but there is no listing. Just message him about it

I have ordered the Nicehck Blackwheat and that KBEAR one too. I'll post here when I get them.

I've found a few others but the cables look to be a bit on the thin and tangly side:

Upgrade Cable For Weston 1964

Hi, have you received and tried the Nicehck Blackwheat cable yet? Is it any good?

I've got a KZ ZS10 Pro with a Jcally 3.5mm cable with mic and it worked on my phone, but when i tried connecting it to a TypeC DAC to my laptop's type C connector, i can only get sound output, it just doesn't detect the mic... Which the stock KZ brown cable worked perfectly, both sound and mic comes through.

The idea is to be able to use the IEM for Zoom and Webex calls without having to use the laptop's mic which i had to lean forward towards the screen to let my voice be heard... Thus i got a cheap Jcally type C to 3.5mm adapter which works great i must say, even on my phone. The sound is much brighter and clearer compared to plugging into the 3.5mm.

The Jcally cable with mic is working fine with my phone... the mic is clear and the cable doesn't tangle like the KZ stock...

So I'm in a situation where i have to swap the IEM between the two sets of cables, stock KZ for zoom calls on laptop and the Jcally ones when I'm not on my desk and out and about...

Which is why I'm on the hunt for another alternative cable with mic.

First XINHS batch took 5 weeks from ordering to get here.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002042493770.html

0.35 ohms.

Build quality as expected from XINHS cables, working chin-slider and is very soft. Not very thick though, despite having 8-cores. Cable B7.
Default silver cable rec.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001786868630.html

0.17 ohms.

Essentially a somewhat different looking cable A3 that is a bit stiffer, glossier and has a working chin-slider. Cable A3 is still recommended over this one due to the higher cost for basically the same thing (unless you need a working chin-slider, which doesnt work on cable A3). This is cable A11.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001843312645.html

0.19 ohms.

Build quality as expected from XINHS cables but non-working chin-slide. Very soft cable and is thinner than average due to only having 2-cores. Looks very unique due to the blue color. Cable A12. My favorite blue cable, probably be better if it was in 4 or 8 cores.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001742192708.html

0.22 ohms

Build quality as expected from XINHS cables but non-working chin-slide. Very soft cable and is average in thickness. Cable A12. Not recommended due to high price.

Thanks @RikudouGoku for the run down on the batch. I do have my eye on that blue cable and I would be more interested in a thicker version.

The chin slider on the Limpid Pro was the same metal one as the Limpid. On the Limpid, the holes are too big and it is non-functional. On the Pro, the holes are too small and I won't use it. It is the metal disc vs the plastic ball on the XINHS version. IIRC, the TRN pure silver has more strands and might be slightly thicker.

You can probably ask for a 4 or 8 core version on that blue cable. Although I wonder if it would pair nicely with their silver wire into a hybrid.

The answer is yes
