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?

Personaly I've never had any problem after one year of daily use of my bax cable.
Could there be a difference in build quality between the different connectors? I've got T2s

I've got my 2pin BaX (long version) since August last year and i'm using it daily on my commute (sometimes in the office, too) and so far can't find anything wrong with it.
I don't really treat it differently/more careful than my previous (presumably more durable?) stock cable...so nothing to complain about in that regard, either!

Mine's gonna get here on Tuesday. How does it compare to the stock cable, anything to say about the soundstage and whatever else you think a future owner should know about?

I received the Linum cable as part of the acs Encore, they use it as the stock cable. Have had to send it back to acs, termination into my dap was defective, causing the signal to go in and out on one channel. Don't treat them roughly, mostly use the headphones to fall asleep to.
Also find footfalls transmit really strongly while walking, not sure if that's the cable or just a result of the ciem.
And, the tangling of these things is amazing and frustrating.
Overall, can't say I love them.

Not too much to know
It is more tangly than other cables, so storage can become interesting. Keeping the plug and phones away from the bundle of cable inbetween usually helps...
 
Soundwise - to my ears - they mainly helped with overall clarity. I didn't do too much testing back and forth really...bought these mainly for their thinness/wearing comfort.

Thanks for the swift reply. Yeah, I also got it for the same reason plus the need for a longer cable. I have 2 Westone stock cables (long and short), but the long one started to fail after repeated abuse and the short one, well... it's too short.
 
I'm actually curious about the Super Bax.. when I spoke to Linum they said it would cost 250 EUR (short version and not 2 pin like I need) and will be available in late February. Atm though, I don't see myself spending that much on a cable.

 Is this the long 2 pin bax or short one?

I actually find the tangleless feature to work pretty well after getting used to it.

Just got my cable like 10 minutes ago and I'm amazed of how thin this thing is. It's also feather light. WOW!

I would say it is the 'normal' one. I hadn't specifically ordered a long one.

That's too bad, cause I was interested in the long one. I have one already, but if you had the long one, I could return mine to Estron. Too bad..

I got a request to place the Bax ad here as well:

[Linum]

We are of course sorry that some of you have had troubles with your Linum cables, and some even twice, which is not acceptable. Fortunately, it rarely happens, yet we have had a batch with some inconsistencies.
 
Those who had troubles took contact directly to us, which we appreciate very much! This is really the only way we have a chance to help you out – and to improve our cables onwards.
 
As many of you know already, we continuously work on cable and connector improvements. We hope – in addition to the Linum Super BaX with expected release in May - to have some news quite soon.
 
Have a great weekend.

The sleeve of my Linum MMCX BaX cable got loose. Though easily fixed, I'm worried this will get worse over time.
 
Can this be replaced @Linum? 1 year warranty will end this February 2016. Bought here in the Philippines thru EggHead.
