Whatever you call the phones, I hope we can have local distributor in South East Asia
Well, as long as they won't fray. More importantly, I hope the cords aren't prone to those nasty permanent twists and bends that can never be straightened back to original, which is more likely to happen with braided cables.
I don't mean fabric braiding around the cable, I mean braiding the actual cable. Like this...
There are many benfits. Greatly reduced stiffness and almost no phonics are huge. Often, cables like these are OFC or OCC copper, sometimes silver, thus resulting in better sound quality, depending on who you talk to. I don't expect to see any benefits from said cables in an IEM from V-Moda, as I'm expecting to not be very high end. But there is no doubt that they
- Look cool
- Have no phonics
- Are very flexible
In regards to the fabric braided cables. I am definitely not a fan of these. Especially for IEMs, due to the permanent bends that you mentioned earlier.
all for the braided cable as well. but, i have to admit at first sight it doesn't actually look good. sure there are ways around it and maybe v-moda will take the next step for that
How about braided cable sheathed in a thin layer of something else (extra silicone?), at least to hide the braids (that is, if they look bad). I'd like to see a braided cable in bright orange, though -- that would be very nice.
Can one of them be like a M-100 with less bass boost, maybe like a 5-6 db boost, slightly warm but detailed mids, and those highs that you can blast but never fatuigue you. Thanks that'd be great guys
