can try ur home grown brand Effect Audio the entry cable. Ares II.
Wow you fortune teller? How you know my home? Yeah will probably consider the Ares II.

Tend to use original cables, alternatively Kinera Celest Jimo (pure copper) and Jcally JC08S (silver plated copper). Both are light, with the right rigidity, non-tangleness, and sound great etc..

Have also plenty of Plussound but I actually do not use any of them.
Oh my. I was considering Plussound Exo. Do you find Plussound cables too rigid and not pliable?

Hi guys, can kindly share what after market cables you like using with your uiem's?

I'm recently got the Simgot LC7 for my U12T but felt that it's a little heavy.
With my U18s, I now have two:

- Penon’s ASOS+X (12-wire) as shown below. Fantastic cable, but best for desk or commuting (or a flight)- ie not a lot of movement due to the weight/ergonomics of such a thick cable.

- Penon’s Totem, which is incredible- a bit different sonically, but great in other ways than the ASOS+X. It’s very manageable when on the go, however. But in many ways it’s an end-game cable, in my view.

Found these in a drawer while cleaning. Long time no see...

Really nice smooth midrange with a super impressive center image, layering + separation. And even some subbass extension to boot! Company might be going places if they can keep this up :ksc75smile:

Hello
Today I wanted to lightly clean the mesh in the u12t headphones. As the representative of 64 audio wrote, isopropyl alcohol is safe. I used a small, delicate paintbrush. I sprayed the tip of the brush with alcohol and, holding the headphones with the nozzle down, gently wiped it for about two minutes. The brush was only damp because I held it with the hair up. Unfortunately, the ring with the mesh peeled off. I gently pulled the mesh and the ring out of the nozzle. This safe alcohol only caused me trouble :(. It caused the glue that was glued to the ring to peel off. I do not recommend it.

Do you have any ideas on how I could use a different mesh to protect the inside of the headphones?
I live in Poland, so sending them to a service center would cost a lot.

Best regards

I dont know about a replacement mesh for the inside of the u12t, but if you use the Sednaearfit Max Standard eartips, they have their own mesh and its never really necessary again to clean the internal mesh because the sedna mesh itself essentially keeps everything out. So once you get the internal mesh sorted out, I'd recommend the Sedna and itll never be an issue again. You just need to figure out the right size for each ear.

Here is the video. R.I.P. the earwax guard that had to die without reason for purpose of this video.

I haven't tried this yet myself but I've got some meshes ready for when I need to :)

I found this video and everything is shown great. I will order these meshes from AliExpress. I think the structure is very similar and the assembly is as you can see trivial. It's a pity that 64 Audio does not sell such rings. And I doubt whether the sound will change. The construction of this mesh is such that earwax can get stuck in it well in many places, which can also probably muffle the sound somehow.

We're sorry to hear about your mesh failure. It is not something we normally see when cleaning using alcohol. Please reach out to support@64audio.com and mention that we had this conversation on headfi. We'll take care of this issue and investigate it further.

Have an excellent condition Volur with all packaging for sale, just dropped to $1349 - which is a steal for this IEM.
