Made by AZLA and was included with their Horizon IEM model but now for sale separately. Haven't had a chance to try them yet. Look pretty wide. Some photos from twitter -

Hmm 14mm for the large. That's a rarity and one I'm always on the hunt for. Hopefully I can get my hands on some of those.

The bgvp m6 looks good to bad the price is high

I’m so excited, my HK6 arrived in my country and should be here sometime this week. I also got the EarStudio ES100 yesterday and I plan on using the 2.5 balanced output for the HK6. Unfortunately, the balanced cable I bought is garbage and sounds awful. Anyone got some not-so-expensive recommendations on a good balanced cable from Amazon US (specifically one with earhooks)?

I got the pure silver cable from luna shop. I have to say it looks a little too "silvery" but good quality as in its soft and flexible. Not completely sure about workmanship... The soldering and stuff like that doesn't give me too much confidence.
Yet to try it out, so will report once I have a good listen.

So I spent today writing about and you guessed it. The HK6. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/nicehck-hk6.23110/reviews#review-20335

@Dsnuts will this ones fit the 5mm nozzle of HK6? https://www.ebay.com/p/Victor-JVC-E...m=222937866730&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850

Ya that is the very exact tip I have on my HK6. It is worth buying a box of them JVC spiral dot tips anyways for your other iems but I love em on the HK6.

So I am expecting more of you guys that recently bought them to get the HK6 this week. I am genuinely excited for you all. I have no doubts in my mind that you will very much enjoy the HK6 and that is what this hobby is all about. I look forward to how everyone hears them.

As crazy as it seems. Silver cables actually need a full burn in for them to sound correct. This is coming from a guy that is a engineer working for space X by the way. Guy knows his sound and actually made a few silver cables for me. I would just let music play through the cable connected to a phone for a while.

From my own experience with silver. They don't change a lot in sound characteristics but do get more mellow in tone after the burn in while retaining a higher detil of whatever phone they are attached to. Look forward to how you hear your HK6 using them.

Silver brings better dynamics for the HK6 and slight increase in detail as well. Love how silver cables sound on the HK6.

My HK6 arrived in the US. Should have it in a few days

How does the DZ7 model stack up against HK6 ? Does the extra Dynamic driver extend the low end while the BAs maintain the mid and highs ?

Also is there any bluetooth mmcx cable out there, which supports LDAC ? Only option I can think of now is to get the $125 Sony WIH700 bluetooth headset, and diy splicing in mmcx connectors. Potentially a bad idea.

Looking at some more comparisons on twitter, these are quite wide.

They're also sold out everywhere

You can try the shanling m0 as well if you are okay to get something with a different form factor.
I believe shanling guys are working on ldac at the moment, but you can use it as a Bluetooth receiver and as a Bluetooth transmitter. Also you have a memory card slot as well. So you might not be a Bluetooth connection in the first place.

It's up to you what you are looking for. They are still sorting out issues with firmware, but it's worth having a look.
Better check head Fi thread for more info.

That seems a pretty sweet device, but the receiver box form factor isn't exactly my cup of tea. I gave away an almost unused Fiio BTR1, cause I didn't like the ergonomics.
