Sony MUC-B20SB1 Headphone Cable 4.4mm Pentaconn-3.5mm
Sony MUC-M12SB1 Headphone Cable 4.4mm Pentaconn-MMCX
Sony MUC-M12NB1 Headphone Cable 4.4mm Pentaconn-MMCX


That is a big naming difference when you compare the name to the whole series?

Didn't understand your answer but basically from what I read the the new Sony MUC-M12SB2 is currently in pre-order and is replacing the previous one MUC-M12SB1.
Both are 8 wire, both are built in cooperation with Kimber Kable, both are MMCX and 4.4mm and are compatible with the following Sony IEMs : IER-Z1R, IER-M9, IER-M7, XBA-Z5, XBA-H3, XBA-H2, XBA-A3, XBA-A2, XBA-N3,XBA-N3AP, XBA-N3BP, XBA-N1,XBA-N1AP, XBA-300, XBA-300AP,XJE-MH Series

I’m purely stating it’s a departure in naming conventions, where they were all B1s before.

It does as one ring of the MMCX is positive and the other ring is negative. But if you look it’s so simple a child could do it. You simply turn the adapter to have the small + symbol facing backwards (towards you) then you line-up the 2Pin with the slot facing outwards. That’s it, easy! So do you see the polarity in the photo above for the two pins? That is why I included it.

Thanks for your explanation. Wonder if the straight adaptor or L shaped adaptor fits better with Z1r

 

[Redcarmoose]

Well, I always migrate to the smallest form factor, so even though the adapters may look big in my pictures, they are incredibly small. Don’t know how L shape will work-out? You don’t want any additional leverage onto the MMCX!

Which reference is the JustEars cable?

Not sure, the transluctent one in the first few images, I think you can buy it separate but maybe not? I've heard some people using the cable on their ier z1r in reviews but not sure if they bought the JustEars IEM too

Maybe they modified the mmcx connectors. I feel that the V1 rotates damn too easz

I think it may be due to a number of variables. Due to there being more than one brand of adapters or just how your MMCX are?

I have the MUC-M12SB1. On mz XBA-Z5 and i feel it rotates too easy. The L plug is good for DAPs nut mot really for a table top rig like the DMP-Z1. I feel overall the cable is heavy on the IEMs and bulky, but on the oyher hand it does not tangle up

He is a wizard of audio knowledge.

Not sure the fit on Z1R, otherwise, I may be tempted.

First impression, it fits great and sounds amazing!

 

[emdeevee]

So did it fit, and do you like the sound?

Yes, and yes, very much...Penon/ISN make great cables! This ISN G4 is pretty awesome for the price, especially 50% off!

 

[Jimmy34]

Anyone know if the DUNU DUW-03 and Blanche is the exact same materials and build quality? the only difference is one includes copper in the wires?

Yes, you can buy it separate in Japan - but it's not translucent and I highly doubt you can find it anywhere else than in Japan, so you'll need a proxy.
Pretty cheap, 98 US$

I kinda figured the IER socket would accept the barrel circumference. Using the adapters helped me understand that the G4 is a tad different than the Penon OSG, where to me the G4 and the Penon Vocal was too bright, though this is likely subjective. Glad it worked out for you!

Interestingly, I just tried a new NiceHCK Blackcat (oil soaked copper wire) whose mmcx fit the Z1R and the sound is very good, wide stage and pounding bass. This was a really cheap cable, but I have found NiceHCK to have great quality.
