Trying out one of the cheaper Brise Audio cables on the Z1R. Heavenly bass...

In general, Brise Audio cables are thin but not flexible
To much microphonic?

I only use Z1R for evening walk, microphonic will be an issue. I am using Tianwaitian from CEMA it is thick but no microphonic, sounds great with Z1R but little soft on bass compared to stock ones.

I have both Willow and OE. Both fit perfectly. That said, I find the Z1R fits far less perfectly with adapters on than it does with the stock cable. With adapters the shells push too tight against my ears and start hurting after a while. Since I discovered the Cardas Clear cable is sonic perfection with Z1R, I'm going to have its 2-pin connectors replaced with Z1R-compatible mmcx.
Do you happen to have a link or model # of that cable? I would love to try it on my Z1R. I tried to Google it but all that came up was the headphone version.

I think that is self made and not a comercially available cable

Unfortunately, when I tried to test different cables/adapters, my Fiio cables are stuck with Z1R :). Good news is the cable sounds really good with Z1R, I already have 4 "upgrade" cables just for Z1R, and I am always tempted to buy Brise or Plussound since they have MMCX dedicated for IER series.

I think it is the Dr. Juggles Cardas Clear which is based on the PW Audio 1905s 4-wire. You can contact @doctorjuggles for details and build.

I have not tried to walk but when I move my head, microphonic is audible

Hi, how do this cable perform compared to the stock cable. I have the Brise cable in my list for a while, can't decide yet. Im looking at the Naobi series which is similar to STR.
