great review @ ryanjsoo,WELL DONE!.  seems like you covered the subtlety of the improvements and changes very well. thank you!

Hi, I own the Westone W40 and am curious for any more comparisons you may have between the Oriveti and W40?

please suggest compatible replacement cable WITH MIC.

@singledot02 You can look into the Ourart Ti7 Upgrade Cable, it's a nice 8-braid unit with a single-button remote + mic.

@ryanjsoo i tried looking for Ourart Ti7 @ Aliexpress none of them got mic.. i saw some 8 cores mmcx with mic which is i prefer but i don't know if those will fit or compatible with oriveti new primacy.. btw my budget is $40 and below.. thank you for your input.. cheers

@singledot02 Try PenonAudio, they have the cable for $29, I'll PM you the link.
