Yeah, Id recommend something stranded over a solid stranded cable for headphones. But if you MUST get solid strand, try getting something thats 26AWG and reinforcing the cable to reduce on the stiffness of the cable. I'd recommend 26awg bare silver + 24 awg teflon covered in some type of cotton then finished with techflex for added support.

The brand of Q-tips you use makes more of a significant difference than the wire.

I'm not sure that's possible. What's the brand of a brand?

Anyone ever tried this wire. Shame it doesn't come with any measurements though, so it could be completely rubbish.

I tried that stiff wire, and from that seller a long time ago.  Too warm and some lack of detail.  Who knows what it actually is.

Hmm thanks for the impression it did look a little cheap...
I've got some from partsconnexion for internal wiring - and it does seem pretty stiff - probably not suitable for IEM cable, pretty easy to bend/damage I'm guessing also.
Shame though - promised to be like a cut priced crystal piccolino lol.
