I've mostly given up on finding an all in one piece wireset from the right angled plug all the way up to the earbuds.
 
At this point, I franken build my earbuds, which isn't too bad, because since the wires are mostly underneath my clothes.
 
Now I'm just looking for quality wires that  are between the earbud and the junction.
 
I'm now looking for quality, thin, flexible, non hardening 2 braided wire.  I want it so that they're pretty flexible and don't transmit too much cord rub, tend to fall and not retain a straight or kinked shape.
 
In Black, or ideally clear wire for more stealth.

Well I did finally get something in.  Good lord is shipping slow.
 
3 Months!
 
Found something.  Super high quality, but there are still microphonics.  I think I really need thin wires that lead up to the ears.  The one I got from luna shops is 2.0mm easily.  Really high quality.  I might use it to replace the wires of my koss porta pros.
 
Something around 1.2mm would be preferable.
