The nicest
This cable is definitely an upgrade. If you’re looking for greater sound quality, forget it. Your not gonna get it. That’s not what this is about. The look. The feel. The way it doesn’t kink up and hangs like a nice chain necklace. That’s is what you’re buying. This is why you buy this. You’re wearing those IEM’s in style.

Gorgeous Cable
I really love the looks of this cable, and give a very high rating for looks and build alone. There are some bad points to this cable though.The only IEMs that I have that use MMCX connectors are the Audiosense T800 (ATM). I plugged them in and immediately noticed that the only thing I could hear in the songs was bass and voices. All the other instruments were not just in the back, but like 50 feet away, and I could only JUST hear them in the background. I wrote to Linsoul about this, and the reply was that they must not be compatible with my IEMs (which is a blowoff answer at best). They didn't offer exchange or any other advice. I have 4 other cables (ranging from OCC copper, to OFC SPC, etc...) that I have used with these IEMs, and there is no problem with any of them.I have a pair of Tin Hifi P1 planar IEMs on the way, and will plug them into them and give another listen, but I suspect these were wired/manufactured wrong, and probably will be returning them (not exchanging because Linsoul doesn't seem to care one way or the other).I really want to like this cable if nothing else for the looks and build quality, but when a company doesn't even really care about their own product, I can't either. I can't say I would or would not recommend this cable, because it is unknown whether I have a bad cable, or if it is just a piece of crap (they don't give ohms rating so I can't go by that either). I am left to my own devices to figure it out.Update: I have now received another pair of IEMs, and tried this cable with them. It is doing the same thing with those IEMs that it did with the first pair. It is a faulty cable.

Poor soldering at the connectors
I just got this cable today. The look and feel is definitely a step up from the cable included in my amazing KZ ZSX earbuds. However, I noticed immediately that the right channel had very low volume compared to the left channel. When I touched the cable near the earbuds it improved momentarily. I realize the soldering inside the 3.5mm connector is poorly done. Actually it’s quite visible. The other channel also seems to be with poor soldering. I’m happy much more care have been put into my earbuds than the soldering of the connectors on these cables. I’ll return this cable and hopefully Amazon won’t put them for sale again cause they work intermittently.

Just what my TinHiFi P1s needed!
TinHiFi P1s like lots of power but only come with a standard unbalanced cable. This balanced cable will let you wring the last bit of power from your portable amp, DAP, or phone if they have a 2.5mm balanced output jack. Plus, its a lot nicer than most stock cables. As another reviewer noted, it wont change the sound character of your music...which is a good thing. Just make sure you order the right connector for the earphones you own.

Very Nearly Perfect (but missing 90 degree L connector)
Premium cables always seem like a sketchy buy for me. Most often they turn out to be barely better than the default cable that came with the headphones. But this cable.... This one is beautiful! Wide, supple and strong. This cable has style.The only thing TRIPOWIN does wrong is that they don't offer a 90 degree L connector. And that's a big deal because so many laptops, amps and dacs just work better with an L connector. I bought the cable anyway because I didn't have a choice but I would have preferred an L connector.Anyway it's still worth the purchase. The connector is a standard 2-pin with key'ed edge. In addition to BLON these also fit the iSine-10/20.

Terrible Microphonics
The microphonics on the cable are really terrible. I can hear even the slightest head movement. It's really distracting

Corrosion - it's a "feature"
Do not buy - quality problems well known and horrible customer service.Look great new, don't tangle, but serious concerns about quality. Internal corrosion started at both ends in 2 months and is moving in. Seems a common problem in this Tripowin cable, other have same problem.Clearly manufacturer did not seal the connection air-tight, and it's going to continue and get worse. And I've never used for working out, or exposed to water or hot humid areas (indoor AC or Northern states only). Stored carefully when not in use (which is most of time).Manufacturer says 1 year warranty but that's not honored. Refuses refund and refuses a return. Blames me for using in humid environment. Not true - and I don't wear these often and there's no external damage to cables.From Linsoul their third email:Dear CustomerThank you for your email.We understand your dissatisfaction with the oxidation of the cable.First of all, oxidation is normal if the cable is exposed to a humid environment or exposed to water. However, this is not said to be a defect and is considered oxidation wear due to the usage environment.Besides, the effect of the oxidation is most on the outlook not on the sound quality, please do not worry about that.Considering the obvious using trace, we are afraid we cannot accept the return, so there will not be a restocking fee, but we can issue a 30% refund for you as compensation, please understand. Your understanding is so much appreciated.Have a nice weekend!Kind regards.SusyLinsoul Customer Support

It's a nice soft cable...what more do you need!
Overall a nice soft cable with zero micrphonics, is it worth the extra over others? I can't comment as I don't own the cheaper versions but it was a great upgrade from the stock cable that came with my KZ ZSX iems.It made the sound soooo much better, clearer highs, more sub bass and also made me more attractive to women...OK I'm lying, it never made any difference to the sound but it's comfy and looks premium.

Quality product.
I just got these cables for my KS 10 headphones, as a replacement for the cables that came with the headphones.The first thing I noticed was that they were slightly heaver than I expected. After attaching the cable the headphones there was an immediate difference on quality to what I was hearing. I chose to listen to a Genesis live album and the bass sounded smooth and the other instruments were very clear.There perhaps a bit pricey but they are worth spending that little extra for a superb sound that I have very much missed. My previous headphones were made by Sennheiser but didn't last as long due to lack of quality build.

Quality materials, colours sound too much, slightly bigger one side, very tight
I love the look and feel of this, bit I've tried it with several of my IEMs with MMCX connections and each time the sound becomes way too coloured and overly thick and bass is heightened way too much. I wasn't surprised as this it's common to use a copper cable to smoothen or warm up bright or thin sounding IEMs, but trying this for example with the FIIO FH3, the bass becomes way overpowering and the soundstage is reduced in width, vocals become too prominent and strangely placed.As for build, it's a gorgeous cable but beware... it is VERY tight fitting and I was worried with a couple of the IEMs I used it with if it was going to damage the housings as I disconnected it by pulling away the inside. I knew to be careful as i had to add a bit more force to connect them in the first place. There was also no slack on the left side so i had to put a bit of force into turning the earphones round to the best position, there must be a slight difference in size.To anyone that says cables don't effect sound they won't with every earphone, especially single drivers, but hybrids are picky so I'd stay away from this cable if unsure or if you already have a smooth sounding IEM. From someone with nearly 200 headphones over time, countless cables and DAC/AMPs, etc... cables can have a dramatic effect on sound. This cable might help you if you have a overly bright IEM I guess, but it definitely has had a strange effect on the IEMs I paired it with.

Great cable for its price
Been experimenting with DAC, cables with IEMs for years and somehow my ears can pickup variations between balanced and 3.5mm and single crystal bronze/ silver / gold / mix cables so I am one of those agreeing in cables.Anyhow, bought this to go with the Blon B03 due to the increasing positive hype and you need to be aware BLON use its own connector type that standard 0.78 2-pin will have the ugly and not secure fit (will work though). And I ordered QDC type which also not fit - what I did was borrowed mrs’s nail file to file down BLON 03’s connectors to achieve a secure fit. Works great.The quality of cable is incredible agree with all other feedback. Sound quality has not significantly changed (somewhat expected given the price, not to compared to my Titan) but this is to give my B03 the same 2.5mm balanced input. Much better than its stock cable.

A good quality cable
I wasn't too keen on the cable that came with my blon bl-03 IEMs. The kink on the blon cable meant that they didn't fit properly into my lug holes. This cable is altogether better. The cable is formed but it exits the IEM in a much better place. Very happy. If I strained on some hi-res music files I might be able to discern a little more detail but I might be imagining it. Better fit for sure, improved sound quality possibly. I might be tempted to try the balanced version.
