For anyone else looking for a L-plug 2.5mm male to 2.5mm female adapter to avoid putting strain on your straight cables:

I msg'd 'CEMA Electro acousti Store' (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5003206?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000061.1.18741e3204CoWj) through Message Centre and advised I want the following assembled into a short 2.5mm male to 2.5mm female adapter.

• https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33054928246.html
• https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000007394708.html
• https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000910527446.html

I told him i want the cable to be as short as possible which he advised is 5cm and to also apply any Head-Fi/Hakuzen discount. The final price he quoted was US$23.8 + shipping - I think that's a great price considering they will assemble all the above parts for you and these 3 parts have @hakuzen seal of approval . Do consider this option if you're looking for the same as it seems such an adapter does not exist right now out of the box.

thank you so much for resuming the hint! i'm very glad you got it, these guys have saved me when troubled many times. i searched for the ready made adapter even in the biggest market in the world (chinese market) with no success.
and 3.5mm L adapter.. i only found crap, very low quality adapters which degraded sound

I'm excited to receive it, it's so cool that we can get custom cables and adapters made so cheaply in Aliexpress with good quality components - what a great find.

I think none of them are in my list. I'm not going to buy more cables to try, had enough; so if a seller/distributor/particular doesn't send me a cable to measure and try it, it won't appear in the database.

Hi!

I've read and read again the post but I've a question before purchase for you.

Can you tell me what you think about this cable ?
I'm not sure when I see the original price at 200€. I would like a copper ( more bass, less high) with huge soundstage if possible. It's for a ibasso it01

that original price at 200 is complete BS, ignore it.

And what is your opinion about this cable ? It seem pretty nice but I don't know I hesitate about it. No one have it ?

I don't have it. But since you are new (?) into this hobby you probably shouldn't spend much money on cables and more on the iems itself. If you really want a better cable then check out the Faaeal litz cable

I want to spend less of 100€ not more, for sure.
But I'm newbie with iem but not in audio headphone. I would like to find a great cable for long time. So I prefer directly buy a good one and in few month year eventually an upgrade but not now for sure.

that is cable 165 in my list. it was my first OEM up-occ cable, and i liked it very much. it's a good cable, but it has got same price now than when i purchased it, and the seller is banned and not recommendable at all.
if you are looking for good quality and durable cable under 100, you can find better deals now.
check how the jack was bent in cable 165:

you can find quite better quality jacks in cable 170/171 of my list, for example. the jack in cable 165 costs $2 at china. the jack in cable 170 costs 5 times more, and it is worth it.
cable 170 uses similar wire, oem up-occ copper, but litz version (which i found better).
effect audio maestro (soon in my list), in vogue series, uses multi-size stranded up-occ copper litz, and it is better as well.

anyway, my experience with most up-occ copper wires is tighter bass perception (and cleaner) than with other copper wires. you should surf through my list deeply, you might find what you want.
