Also sometimes theres a little bit of crackling when I use the SD 2 with my E07K, is it normal or do I have something to worry about?

Do the cables oxidise quickly?

Yes the cables do oxidise, but depends. On the usage and exposure. I ordered the black stock cable for mine. My silver cable looks green now.

How long was it before it turned green?

After a month I noticed it turn green. Sounds the same still, but the green made me get the black cable.

One month is pretty quick... My shure's cables have been going strong for more than a year already

Well I use it all the time and my place is as humid as a rainforest.

I'm from singapore which is like next to the equator haha. Where did you get the black cable by the way?

The SD2 uses standard double pin.
Try going to Stereo in Ion Orchard. They should have cables and if they don't its an awesome place.
If you want to save cash, you can go with Fiio.

I got the cable at ConnectIT JEM.

How much was the black cable?

The cables that fit into the SD2 are very common, so really it's just a matter of finding a company you trust at a price you agree with.

I've heard they go well with a copper cable. Hmm maybe once they oxidise then I'll look into more alternatives

Agreed, they are using the industrial standard 2 pin termination. Very easy to find, just a matter of whether you wish to buy a stock cable or upgrade cable.

I should go back and re-audition the SD series at connectit someday. Sound didn't wow me away before but the fit in my opinion is superior to every other UIEM I've tried. In fact they felt almost like customs in my ears.

The sound is extremely different compared to my 425s so I'm still trying to get used to it. Listening to Kim Taeyeon's solo songs on it is just an experience

I see. The only shure sounds I was fond of were the 215 (which I owned in the past) and the 846. Honestly found the rest not suited for me when I listen for a long time. Pity connectit doesn't open earlier than 11am
