So my dog chewed up my fi 10 cable, but luckily he failed to eat up the IEM portion. So now I need to replace the cable, but I figured I might as well get an upgraded cable.
 
These are my first "high-end" IEM so I don't know much about upgrading its cable. I got my fi 10's on amazon for $100, and I don't feel like spending another $100 on just the cable, Maybe like $50ish will do.
 
I found a few on Ebay, but I have no idea if they're any good or not. Here's a few links to show you what I'm talking about:

Anyone know if any of these are any good?

Some of those look very nice....subscribing to see comments.

Might try one of the black ones...but wonder how that Palic plug will work on a iPhone or iPad that has a case on it (adds just about an 1/8" thickness to the connection area).

If you choose the Furutechs. don't get the white version, get the black version instead. White cables look weird connected to the TF10s. Also, I would have got the one with memory wire, as the one without didn't fit my ear shape. That was easily fixed by carefully remolding it with some heat from a lighter flame.
 
The Furutech cables are very soft, flexible and light. No complaints about build quality. The connector however doesn't fit flush with the TF10 but it is still secure.
 
Sound quality wise, there is no discernible difference between the Furutech and the stock cables.
 
Microphonics are about the same.
