KZ AS16 Pro ($29 USD) with Hakugei Big Rice Cable ($22.95 USD Shipped) It has been weeks since I received the IEMs and they sound very very good. I am even more impressed by the price and did not expect much out of them. I've tried them with stock cable, a diy OCC Copper cable and this cable...

As per my previous post, I recommend this cable especially at the listed price:

Interesting, i saw good reviews regarding the cheap pure silver cables by NiceHCK hence my curiosity 4 core nicehck reviews: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/nicehck-4-core-pure-silver-cables.24524/ 8 core variant review: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/nicehck-litzps-pro.24889/

TRN Pure Silver 8 core cable for $25 CAD is intriguing Link

I did not expect it to look so beautiful compared to the product page photos. They need to hire you to take their photos!!

I used them lightly at my desk job before transitioning to TWS buds, and at times at home to block out noises. Included is the box, authenticity/QC card, stock cable, and case. Eartips in pictures are not included as they are used but if I find any unused eartips I will include them. I have a...

Your post made me realize i havent listened to my S8P in about 1.5 months haha im always using my Sundaras hooked up to my desktop. Sundaras are good for crystal clearness, but the warmth and isolation from the S8P makes me love them equally if not a tad bit more than the Sundara.

Love the color! link to wire used?

Bump

I am not the first owner of this pair. When I received them they were in flawless condition and I while in my possession it has maintained its condition, as I used them lightly at my desk job before transitioning to TWS buds, and at times at home to block out noises. Included is the box...

Pleasant experience buying from this user, I am very satisfied with the cable he produced for me. Recommend wholeheartedly to anyone wanting sleeved+braided headphone cables. Thanks!

I would be careful with the long heatshrink and connector at the IEM end, it puts a lot of stress on the pins (can potentially break) because the IEM does not have recessed sockets to help alleviate. I would recommend shortening or removing the IEM end connector heatshrinking and also consider...

Im team "no sound quality difference", and i've tried SPC, occ litz copper, etc in 4/8 round braid and flat braid configurations, with IEMs. Im using a DIY OCC copper 4 strand round braid cable with the Sundaras and noticed no sound quality difference either. If you want sleeved cables I would...

Ooooo come to daddy (me) :)

its a 4 strand round braid @noddy43 Cable looks good! the only gripe and recommendation from me is to trim the heatshrink strain relief, it would look much cleaner like on the headphone end plugs :raised_hands:

Look like they are selling the "audiocrast" cables off aliexpress. U can compare prices and read customer reviews on there

Very attractive product and I would definitely consider if I didn't have my current stack. Im an amp noob but am I missing something? It says 3 stage amplification, can drive demanding cans but output power at 32ohms is 211mW/125mW meanwhile a magni (my current amp) puts out 2.4W at 32 ohms?

Hey folks, I changed the earpads on my sundara to experiment and further my modding journey with them. If you like the stock configuration and are against modding then ignore this post. I have received the protein leather pads I mentioned in this post : Earpads Post Pics: Prior to...

Regarding pads, the following thread has a lot of information: Mission: Replace the HiFiMAN ear pads with other brand ear pads https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mission-replace-the-hifiman-ear-pads-with-other-brand-ear-pads.572327/ Dekoni Audio: HiFiman Pads...

Yes I realize it functions as dust filter, but I observed all hifiman fanbois running grillmod have no "pantyhose layer" so I figure i'd give it a try. Is it wise? up to you if you put your headphones through rough environments or want to squeeze out every drop of performance

Yesterday I removed the pantyhose layer under the grills again and found the following changes: -looks dope -more holographic -high hats and cymbals sound more crisp (evident in Eagles - Hotel California and Beatles - In My Life) -better subbass BEFORE: AFTER: I've also run them with...

I dont think that should happen... but one possibility i can think of are reversed polarity of wiring for Meze headphones although Tip - Signal and Sleeve - Ground should be standard. In this scenario you can search youtube for "polarity check" videos to test when it sounds proper/improper...

Only the tip carries signal, ring is unused, and sleeve is for ground on both headphone male connectors. So 2 poles is enough to do the job. -DIYed my own cable for sundara
