I assume FitEar cables are not available yet?

Nope, unfortunately not, and we do not expect them to be anytime soon for the regular Linum cables. The Super BaX with FitEar plug is on its way, though we do not have a release date yet. We will post new releases here when available. Thank you for your patience.

At least it seems to be coming along nicely, will be patiently waiting.

Sorry for the slow update. To recap, my BaX had a tight slider, cutting into the sleeving. Return and then replacement cable arrived fine. Estron staff very polite and courteous.

Unfortunately can immediately hear a soldering or connection issue with the replacement cable. Left side sound is cutting out.

I have verified this by swapping around the orientation (so left to right earpiece and right to left earpiece) and sure enough the cutting out is switched earpieces. Same problem with both Note 4 and Clip Zip.

Thankfully SE846 with stock cable is pitch perfect so i know the iem is fine.

Hopefully second replacement will be okay, shame it is now a short working month...

Hi there. We are really sorry, even one failure is not okay, yet acceptable. It happens. Twice is absolutely not okay. We apologize very much for the inconvenience. Great you contacted us, we will do our very best to solve this!

Wow this is amazing customer service. Came home to a fed ex box. Inside was a replacement cable and also unexpectedly a linum branded case .

This cable works perfectly. Very happy. The stock se846 cable is more boomy and peaky in comparison. I think bax retains the earphone signature but with more control and small details are more discernible. These are all minute percentages though. The main thing is linum is so light it delivers the physical sensation or illusion of a wireless iem. The lack of memory wire also ensures a closer earpiece seal.

Looking forward to super bax release in winter 2016!

In two weeks I bought 3 sets of cables, 1 pair with MMCX connectors for a couple of reshelled Shure IEMs and then 2 more pairs with two pin connectors, 1 for my Alclair Reference CIEMs and another for a Christmas present. All 3 are BaX and while they're not completely tangle free they are not terribly prone to becoming tangled. The 2 for myself are fantastic; light, not noticeably microphonic, connections are very solid and I'm always amazed when I unplug them from my Shures the way their video shows and they work again once reconnected. I haven't noticed a dramatic difference in sound as these are used in somewhat noisy environments, either playing out or while riding my motorcycle, but they certainly don't lack for smooth or weighty sound when called for.

Would this be much an upgrade to the Sennheiser ie800's stock cable?

Hello guys, I'm on the verge of buying the Linum Bax and I have one question: Is the soundstage smaller compared to the Westone ES5 stock cable?
 
Also, if anyone has a 62 inch version for sale, please PM me.

Cable is not going to change the soundstage, but it could affect the sound like an eq, for example adding some sparkle and lifting the veil. That could change your perception of the sound, including a wider and more open spacing. If you are comparing BaX to Westone stock Epic cable, yes, that perception will improve

Westone offers these as an upgrade on their own website so obviously they feel it's a worthy upgrade. If you buy directly from Estron you will save a substantial amount of money. The shipping isn't cheap, I think I paid $17.50, but even after that I still saved probably $25-30 per pair.

Thanks, I was planning to get the Bax directly from Estron. I'm in Europe, so shipping will be cheap I guess.

My bax is on track to be delivered today.

Can't wait!

bought bax cable on may 2015. Replaced it on oct 2015 due to cable failure and today the newly replaced 2 month old cable fail to work on the right side.
 
Seriously, is the QC really that bad for the bax cable?
