I just received my Copper Litz cable for my W60 with TRRS plug. The whole purchasing process is speedy. One week production and one week shipping to Asia.

The cable is soft and nice. However I heard quite an amount of microphonic which I never heard of any with the stock W60 braided cable...
Is that normal? It will be quite annoying as I usually listen to music while I'm walking.... 

Anyone have such experience?

It is normal. I have three cables from Ted and they have slightly more microphonics than the stock Westone-type cables as Ted's cables are thicker and slightly stiffer. Not really a deal breaker for me though, or I wouldn't have bought three from him

Hi, I wonder do most people listen while they are in stationary instead of like me walking? I just tested it today while walking, and the microphonics is just too distracting..

Walking, cycling, doing yard work, you name it I am using mine.

That's very interesting! I can hear microphonic when the wind blow on the cable while I was walking today.. I'm not the first one to use Ted's cable on a W60.. I really wonder why..

Same here

You can try attaching a shirt clip to the Y-split if you'd like to reduce the microphonics.

Maybe air going into the shell somehow?  I have no microphonics that I can hear from Ted's cables.

I agree with Saraguie, I have owned Ted's cable for years and none exhibit any microphonics because of the soft outer insulation.

For me there are slight microphonics, but not to a very distracting degree. There's always some noise from bone conduction when walking though.

I still not sure why mine have huge microphonics even when I tried to turn the volume higher. But I do concur that the sound quality does improved with the copper litz cable!

Got my cable back from Ted. I like the new interconnects I have on them now.
I haven't heard any of the microphonics you have been complaining about. Even when I bike and longboard, there's hardly any. Not sure why you are having a problem. What are you currently running?

 

[hidehide]

I'm still not sure why I had huge microphonics with the W60 cable connected to ZX2.. It could be the mmcx connector not fitting properly on my W60.. I ended up sending back and exchange for a cable for my LCD-3 and I further ordered an interconnect cable as well. With the new cables, there are no microphonics anymore!
 
But I did not hear as much improvement as I did with the replaced LCD-3 cable + SE plug compared to the cable with TRRS plug for my W60..

Do you have just the LCD3 running only on the ZX2 or do you have an amp with it? What gears do you use?

For the 846s, should I get the copper or ref silver litz ? I'm so sensitive to sibilance and love a full bass.

I would absolutely recommend the silver litz. Silver does not make it brighter just lends a clarity across the sonic spectrum that some interpret at brighter but I never felt. For two and a half years I paired the SE846 with Ted's silver litz and they made for a fantastic combination.

+1 on that.  A whole new level of clarity for the 846s.
