Yes and no, but don't bother buying the ex800 if you intend to get custom made cables.

So ex800 is only if you want to stay single ended? In your view, which best/ easiest if I want buy a balanced cable? Thanks for the reply.

I had the Brise Rh+, they were too stiff and microphonic. Much prefer Effect Audio with the e4ua adapters.

The problem with the EX800, the thread on the connectors are slightly different to that of the EX1000 and EX600, cables from the EX1000 or EX600 will fit the EX800, but the EX800 won't fit on the other two, and most if not all custom cables uses a non OEM EXK connectors which will not fit the EX800, you can force it in, but will probably damage the thread on the EX800.

So far it's confirmed that the stock EX1000 is able to be re-terminated to Pentaconn 4.4mm, but the stock cable for EX600 and EX800 has not been confirmed yet, I have asked e-earphones, but they have not been asked to re-terminated these two cables, so they cannot confirm this.

You can purchased the EX1000 as a optional spare part, but the problem is, the stock is very limited, Sony Japan has confirmed to me that the EX1000 cable is out of stock and they will not getting anymore, so I presume, the EX1000 could be EOL. so what remains are left over stock cables which is still on the market.

Thank you for the helpful reply. It seems the best course is to try to find an OEM ex1000 cable (if I can) and have it Re-terminated. Would I have to go to Sony or do any third parties you know of sell oem cables? Thanks.

Your only option is to contact Sony in your country and see if they have the RK EX1000 cable, if you are sourcing the stock from Sony USA, it's unlikely they will have them, as Sony does not stock this cable, the EX1000 USA version comes with the RK EX600 cable instead (stock cable for the EX600 model), but you can try, other places that does have stock is www.taobao.cn, expect about USD 70 with addition charge on top, but you have to use a shipping agent to help you purchase them. As I did mentioned, non OEM cables or connectors might not work.

Thanks for the link.

Here is a cheap place for a ex1000 cable, custom version, you can select what plug you want, although they say it's for all version, you might consider taking the chance. on the other hand why not get the Ex1000, and what DAP do you have. So people on this forum has tried this cable (MMCX version with 4.4mm Balanced) and considered it to be alright.

You may be right that getting the ex1000 may be the better and easier option. I had considered these, but was hesitant due to the treble spike some people say it can have. I have z7 headphones, which I really like and thought the ex800 may have a more similar sound to these. However, I think I am going to reconsider this. I plan on using them with a zx300 I intend to buy. Thanks for the link and the suggestions. This cable is very reasonably priced.

Apparently the EX800 does not go well with the ZX300, this is with my experience and someone else on this forum, but the EX1000 with balanced is a perfect match.
