Your channel is refreshing - no nonsense, straight to the point with a fair assessment of what you review. As far as expensive cables go, I haven’t paid more than $80 on an IEM cable and nd it has to be honest, it’s an aesthetic thing - thickness, core count, and color. And it has to be relatively relaxed and untangly. That’s it.

I've been using IEMs for more than 20 years and when I clicked on this video I expected to be bombarded with terms like "emotion" and "explosiveness"... genuinely positively surprised to agree with what was said!

I been checking cables channels and urs by far the best, hope ur back making videos this 2025, thanks for all ur time and kudos.

[theterriblepuddle]

This is exactly why I subscribed to you. It felt like a no bullshit channel.

And I exactly need an IEM cable channel because the cable market is so full of crap.
You buy cheap, you likely get shit. You buy expensive and you likely get shit too but wrapped in snake oil.
I hope to find that great quality, not too expensive and perfectly aesthetic cable some day.

I recently got my bluecat nicehck from aliexpress for less than $8! Then I spend a little more money cause I wanted a cable with mic and controls so I got xinhs 8 core 5n silver. Got it for $23 on sale which is pretty much my upper limit for cables (now). Hope you can make a review on more cables with mics and compare them.

Really appreciate your channel and reviews 👍

Based intro. Cables are for aesthetics, yet some try to sell snake oil.

Subscribed after the very first video of yours i watched, no regrets, no bullsh%t, no snake oil. Just a calming voice, nice background music and a quality review.

Thank you for your take on about cable on the beginning of this video, I strongly agree with you. That being said, I'm currently on the lookout for a IEM cable with memory wire, because way back when I used to have a (cheap) custom made cable with memory wire and, although it was thin and flimsy, it was also the most comfortable cable that I've ever owned up to this point. Sadly now the cable has been long dead and I can't get a replacement because the store that I purchased it from is no longer in business. I really wish cable with memory wire is more popular on the market.

I'm subscribing to you in the hope that you find one with a more reasonable price tag. Please do share with us know if you do. Kudos, nice review, and keep up the good work. 👍

Appreciate your take and honesty, couldn't agree more. Far as I'm concerned, the Tripowin Zonie is more than enough for a cable upgrade.

[epicmike]

So glad you said this. There are way too many clowns (I'm looking at you Wavetheory) on YouTube that believe cables change the sound. Or burn in some other BS. Great review. The best feature is the bending ear hooks.

Love the newer Letshuoer puck cases. Way better than the Aful cases, and have the perfect space for an iem and an adapter or some tips and a silica gel packet.

We do iem monitoring for concert and film recording. We have about 200 sets in the budget case alone. Every single stock cable was replaced by the Tripowin Zonie cables. For live performance or film studio, a cable Must be comfortable. The Zonie is Very comfortable.
It comes in six colors, 3.5 or 4.4,
and in .78 2pin, qdc, or mmx.
We have Never had even one cable go bad on us, nor have any artist or musician ever complained about the Zonie cables.
We carry all the iems in stage cases, so we built a custom case for the cables; what makes it different is its cylindrical and the cables are all mounted inside lengthwise. We Never roll up our cables; no memory retention or entangled cables. Just open up, pick the color and terminations, and its immediately ready for use.
I highly recommend the Zonie cable.

Just a quick correction in your video regarding polarity. In the 2 pin standard, the Positive Polarity Jack is actually Rearward, away from the nozzle, and the ground is the front facing pin.
I would also not rely on the painted dot to determine polarity, as it has been my experience that not a single cable manufacturer adheres to any standard on where they put the dot.
For a point of reference, and this is where a LOT of confusion comes from, the QDC style connecter, as defined by QDC...Does use a Positive Pin Forward design. Which is opposite of standard 2 pin.
What gets complicated, is that KZ, and nearly every other manufacturer, that uses a QDC style connector, use the Standard 2 Pin Layout for their QDC/Recessed connector pin outs, with the Positive Terminal Rear Ward.
And what's supremely dumb, is that on Tripowins Own IEM's that use a Recessed QDC Style connector, they use the 2 Pin standard for pin outs. Yet, if you buy a Tripowin Zonie Cable...their QDC Connectors follows the QDC Standard of inverted polarity.

Sadly, the only way to test any of this is to Continuity Test all of your cables. Which is exactly what I do now. And return any that are out of phase. Sadly, I have found 2 pins that are out of phase as well. So it is never a guarantee that the cable is made right...hence the importance of a Multi Meter to Continuity test all the cables.
Not trying to self promote here, but i did make a video on my channel about this issue, because no one in the IEM community seems recognize this.

Old kz stock cable have that kind of memory wire

[Hijynx]

What eartips are you using on the nova and forteza? Stock? They almost look like medical grade silicone, but I know it's not spinfit w1. Omni?

[saqivmalik-pfkr]

Are there any modular or normal cables that have usb c? Below maybe 50 dollars. Or a list of some cables that are worth buying with usb c please.

I've seen IEM cables that are over £5000 which seems mental for a cable but it's not my money so hey-ho. I did look at this cable but think I'm going to go with the HAKUGEI Healer which is as high as I'll go for a really good looking cable, I don't really hear any difference in cables but I like how they look so I'll go up to £70-£80 but no more.

[JesonCollado]

Yes Cables is only for comfort and aesthetics nothing more
