NEX KBEAR 16 Core Silver Plated Wire Earphone Cable, 2.5MM, 2PIN, 1.2M, Male-to-Male, Compatible with Headphone, Music Player, Smartphone

Been hopping from cable to cable trying to find the right one and this is it, so many cables available and surprisingly regardless of price they all have issues, kbear sells a crystal-c 8 core 7N OCC cable similar looking to this one for £65.99 and its just not as good.I don't believe cables really do much for the sound so as long as they don't detract from the sound that's its first job complete, but comfort plays a big role and some of these more expensive cables opt for heavier "jewelry" on the wire, big metal y split points etc and that just adds weight and extra weight can grate on your ears over time.These hit a sweet spot for me, comfortable around the ears, the Y split is sensible, small and crucially light. anybody that knows my earphones know they are stupid expensive (£2000) and have one of the worst cables you could imagine, put them in your pocket and they would come out a birds nest (not that id ever throw them in a pocket), importantly though they were weightless on the ear, very comfortable and finding a third party cable that can match it for that was hard, this is close enough while being thick enough to not tangle.only negative is the chin slider is a fraction not tight enough on the cable, but gets the job done just about.

Using this with a pair of Shure Iems out the bac of an Ifi hip DAC and gheez what a great value cable this is.Jack and connectors are really well built, cable is comfy around the ears too.Unbeatable value for money!

An excellent cable. Bought as a replacement for Westone W60s - the original cables supplied have all failed despite being treated well. I wasn’t sure if 16 Core was a little too much, whether the cable would be too rigid and whether or not I would tell a difference in sound quality. Well, it’s not too rigid (actually, very supple), the sound upgrade is remarkable and so, no, 16 core isn’t too much.Separately, the 3 pairs of plastic plates provided as standard also broke (I have had my W60s for 3 years) and I replaced them with the metal plate (also found on Amazon) - also excellent.Given the original cost of the headphones, I had expected Westone to provide an equally good cable and more sturdy plates as original spec. Anyway, they didn’t/don’t and I am delighted with these “upgrades”.

I purchased this cable to use with my hip dac and Shure se425 iem's.The combination is just breathtaking using TIDAL streaming and Apple Music as source music from my iPhone xs max with third party camera adapter. There is a marked and very healthy improvement in seperation, sound stage and detail vs single ended connection. I would also say that dynamics and timbre of instruments is also improved.For the money this is a great upgrade and more comfortable than the supplied cable that comes with the se425's.There is no cable noise either and quality seems very good feels like it will stand the test of time.

Excellent quality cable, looks and feels fantastic

Great cable. Instantly noticed the difference compared to using an unbalanced 3.5mm cable with my IEMs.Build quality is great. Only issue would be their durability. It’s a soft cable which is lovely around the ears and in feel, just be careful with it.I’m even considering putting heatshrink wrapping around the connector areas just for peace of mind using them on the go.That aside though it’s a great cable and I can see with being careful, this will last a long time anyway.

No bass, midrange and upwards are pronounced as there is nothing else there. Made my SE846's sound like a pair of headphones bundled with an old Nokia Phone. Poor

The sound quality is good, but you need to give some time after first use. Try to listen different type of music at the biggining.
