Ok, thanks.
In fact I wanna go balanced, but with earphones shape like ex1000 or xba-h3 (around my ears), with mmcx connectors and with 4.4mm (without adapter).
Sincerely i’m so confused with all these prices, config, cables and earphones...
And plus prices are often sooo big woï...

Approximate USD 43

This is probably the cheapest balanced cable available, you have to use a taobao agent to make purchase, or if you live in china or have a friend in china.

For those with the 1A or headphones which can use this cable.

Approximate USD 24-33

Wow that's cheap, does this company ship to US? I can't read anything on the site. Ok a need an agent or a friend in China. Lol because the cheaper Sony cable is 140 dollars.

Even with the agent fee, i'm sure you won't pass the 50 marks for the 1A 3.5 to 4.4 it's 7n 4 strand copper and 7n 4 strands silver plated copper, total 8 strands.

MMCX one is 6N 4 strands silver plated copper.

As far as I know, the connector of my earmolds IEM are Westone UM2 like.
I've found a cheap cable on aliexpress (52,80$)

read carefully, you can have them to purchase it, or just have them give you a shipping address so you can do it all yourself.

That's crazy, but good to know because it's really cheap. Even on eBay they are like 150 dollars. I mean they are Sony branded, but if you think what a cable actually is- strands of non precious metal covered by plastic and capped with 2 dollar plugs. The silver coating can't cost anything really as the price of silver is cheap by the gram, and I bet a gram would coat hundreds of cables with the thickness of the plating.

I fear cables have gone the bottled water route with some costing more than the source, I should manufacture a line of cables coated with unicorn hair - the highs are just spectacular with this :) unfortunately unicorns are very rare so I have to charge 500 dollars a cable, but it's worth it once you hear it!
