Wooooah. I'm glad I ordered the Black and Silver Widows in green! And I'm also glad I didn't splash out on one of the more expensive cables so I can join in on the action for the new one
I was impressed by the BW22V2 for my IEMs and thus decided to order an 8-wire version of the Black Widow for my headphones. After a few weeks wait, they arrived. Yes, they are thick!
I asked for L/R indicators on my cables and this is what I got, nice work!
I have to say, the communication during the ordering process is a lot better than it was two years ago. The build quality of the cables is more or less the same as before. Can’t wait for what’s next!
I use the 4-wire for IEMs and just recently got this 8-wire for my headphones. I don't think either cables are microphonic, at least this has never bothered me while using them. I also have a Cardas Clear cable, which is somewhat more microphonic than the BW.
I also have no experience with the Norne S3-C so I can't compare the two. I can however, say that the BW is not as flexible as some of the other IEM cables from PlusSound or Effect Audio. It is by no means a stiff cable where it is hard to store but they are thick, which probably also makes them not as flexible as some of the other cables.

I have the SW22 for IEMs over here for some time now. Indeed thicker and less flexible than the EA cables that I have, but more flexible than the Norne Silvergarde that I had in the past and sold after a few months.
From memory the Silvergarde had a bit brighter signature than the (slightly smoother) SW22, while both are quite revealing in the end.
Microphonics was also a bitt less on the SW22 although it's almost on a 'non issue level' for me personally. Fantastic build quality as well imo
Also an owner for the 8 wire version of BW22 here for my HD700. Non-microphonic and to me is flexible enough to move around or store it. Less flexible than EA's 26awg cables (my 4 wire lionheart) but more flexible than my 6 wire Area II which is also a 22 awg wire.

The “Phoenix”, 22AWG of gold-plated silver goodness. The cable insulation is softer than all the previous Toxic cables I own. New insulation, new internal structure, hence the new cable name.
