Looking to replace my HD 25 stock steel cable...  The right-angle plug keeps pulling out of my FIIO E11 (design flaw?) too easily and a straight plug should sort this - as well an upgrade in sound would be nice.
 
I've looked at all the high-end ones but seem a bit too much for me so have decided on a ~$100 price point and leaves me with these (unless anyone has another suggestions?)

the Oyaide is new so hard to find much info on it... and I would have to re-terminate to straight plug which adds some pain but I can manage it (just)...
 
So anyone able to give thoughts please?  Thanks in advance!

The angle plug should not be problem but the fiio e11. I have a similar situation and I can say its the device. I don't see how a straight plug could solve the inconvenience.
About the cables, I can't really tell. I would say pick the one you like most .

i actually use the Oyaide HPC-HD25 on my sennheiser hd650, and i can hear a difference, the sound is much more clear and less warm (which i like alot).
i can definitely recommend these cables
