Bruh ur missing out if you dont have all natural, free range, organic, gluten free cables.
Extra gluten in mine.
Mine is cryogenically frozen 🥶 it’s wayyyy better sounding then yours 😝
Underrated comment
Glad I found this. Good stuff.
I wish I could pinn comments
Microphonics, durability, comfort. connectors, aesthetic are the only things that matter really
If you come from an electrical engineering background then also: Capacitance, inductance, resistance/impedance which may affect the sound the tiniest bit on the most sensitive IEM's outside of the human hearing range.
This was well put. PINNED
Perfectly said
I would venture to say that in really high impedance Headphones, not IEM, balanced cables will make a difference if you have the right hardware to drive them properly. In the world of IEMs however, I doubt that it would make any difference. I agree with everything you wrote
@@ianbeausejour11 Respectfully, I would say that is more to do with the amplifier. Balanced cables is essentially like having 2 of the same cable taking 2 "different" outputs from the amplifier.
It's not so much about the supposed "quality" of the cable but simply the difference from driving each half of the headphone with a "separate" amp.
@@Qwervy You're 100% correct about that! I neglected to say that even in the realm of balanced cables, cheaper will work as long as the cable does what it needs to do. Balanced cables are typically much more expensive than standard 3.5mm cables which is why I thought it was a good idea to bring it up. I have yet to see an IEM that could really benefit from this except for maybe planar IEM like Tin P1 for example. The Amp/DAC makes more difference than the actual cable.
The funniest scam is "premium" digital cables, like those $500 HDMIs.
Gotta have for those 8k screens
I used to hang out on the IMDb boards years ago, lots of infuriating vidiots. It's much worse than in headphones and IEMs because those HDMIs are hidden behind the TV so who cares what it looks like and in digital 1s and 0s reach the end of the cable or they don't.
💥💯👏🏾 This level of honesty will shortly become a crime!! 👍🏾
It is taboo and has been. They nab unsuspecting fools/novices sometimes so it continues
Don’t forget to “burn in” your new expensive cable for 800 hours to really bring out the sound. 😂😂😂 madness!!!!
Thought it was only 500? ;)
I think cables make a difference to a point. Just give me a high quality up-occ copper cable with a nice coating and won’t tangle or make a lot of noise.
This single video, made me sub. You're spitting truth and I was here trying to make my first ever audio setup. Your words hit like a slap. I'll just put on Shure's OEM cable that is available without the in-line mic and call it a day. I have a SE215. Thank you for your content.
Cables can affect sound but only through fit. Some cables let me get a deeper insertion or better seal which affects the sound but this has almost no relation to price - it's just what fits best for your ears.
No matter how many times this is proven, some guy will always chime in "my $8000 kimber cable really expanded the stage and filled in the weight of the mid" #placebo
I'm a Sony fanboy and a good ole' Kimber with a sony is common. Did it. made no dif.
I don't know but I tried 3 different cables for blon03 from $10-$30, I can clearly tell there is some different, not as significant as eartips though. Never try expensive cable I don't think they re much better than some cheap high quality cables.
Either some cables are more poorly built than others or the cable affects the way the IEM seal. I am guessing the latter.
There are extremely high quality yet cheap cables out there Ala Tripowin granvia and pretty much all yakamou cables they are fire and tend to cost less than 50$ for tripowin and under 25$ for yakamou I own a ton of cables these 2 are killing it and Hart Audio is great to not as nice as the aforementioned but very good none the less and there interconnected system rocks
Great vid man youtube been on point with notifications when you upload recently instead of a day
Thank you for making this and calling out the bs
Not a prob.
Yes. But if stock cable is 3.5 and you buy 4.4 it can make huge difference ❤
A cable on audio frequencies has just a tiny bit resistance , thats it. The induction and capacity only plays a role on radio frequencies (megahertz range), not audio (kilohertz). The resistance is really nothing compared to the impedance/resistance of the driver.
Good clear and correct message, you bad guy :-)
Thanks. That is good info
Dude, how could I’ve missed this. Great reality check
I am just getting into the IEM hobby. I have multiple cables now in my arsenal, and I feel that pairing different cables with different IEM's does not make any of the IEM's sound better, but I swear on my snake oil saturated mind that some characteristics of sound are affected by the cables them selves. Of course, changing tips are far better way of changing how an IEM sounds. In the short time I have been doing this, there are favorite cable, ear tip and IEM combinations, that together do change the sound profile of a particular IEM. All of my IEM's are under $500, so I may have gone from a snake oil saturated mind to just imagining the differences. Whatever the case may be, I am happy with what I know to be true or not to be true, so I have achieved my goal of enjoying this hobby by making it far more complicated than it should be. Thanks, Jay
only time ive upgraded cable first time was because the pins were bent, and 2nd time because i realised how shitty my laptop's mic is and i need a cable with a mic... even those i chose like the cheapest ones i could find that are supposed to be durable
Funny how this video popped up as I was looking at Linsoul's sale right now and the prices on those cables are hysterical.
Snake oil..
Pretty much a spot on description. Whatever ails ya this will fix it.
Controversial topic in audio world.... however, changing resistance which the main thing, it will change the perceived sound..... not to mentioned inductance do change but in measurement only and you will not hear a thing.
generally some people think that copper is warm, silver is bright etc. Changing the resistance of the cable somewhat result the opposite
Overall, get cheap cable from DIY Cable maker is the way.
This is why I love your reviews..
Sometimes a new cable is necessary e.g. Blon03. I spent $14 for a nice cable so the Blon03 fits better. Spend more than that? No thanks.
If you don't mind me asking What cable did you get cus I got my BLONs in the mail.
Thanks for sharing, bros.
Any time!
Share the same general position on cables ... Although I have to admit I have heard subtle differences (in some HiFi interconnects and speaker cables but not headphone cables). But even then it was only tiny differences and not enough to worry about.
I generally make my own DIY stuff to the size I need, using good old cheap ofc copper. That's about as far as I go.
I suppose If you want to be a little OCD you can contact the manufacturers to see what they actually used when they designed their products or alternatively use recording studio grade stuff - which is still far cheaper than all those questionable isosteric HiFi stuff.
But that said... people spend a lot of money on bling and HiFi exists to cator for those whose hearing and needs are often different..and so there is no one size fits all solutions in anything really...but that does enable some companies to exploit and take full advantage. Look at watches or designer gear etc, etc
Perhaps I am lucky that my hearing is only good to a certain level and I can sit happy with my blon bl03s with stock cables...however ear tips are another matter LOL
Hey man, I’m getting the Odin iems. Is the stormbreaker worth it or should I just stick with the standard one? Thanks I’m advance.
I don't know man. You seem like you are in a bit of a mood. A silver 16 core spiralshield litz cable with three strands of OCC copper per bundle will raise your spirits high while also providing a little deeper meaning to your life. It only costs $899, which is great because that is substantially less than the cost of repeated therapy sessions.
Calling it as it is. That is why we trust your judgement mate
Tanks. Appreciate it
Exactly the quality the cable effects the feel of the cable not the quality of music coming out of your iems or cans
I do have to clear up that a high quality cable can improve the sound of your IEM's/Headphones but for you to notice it they'd have to be super sensitive to the point you'd hear a sound floor hiss when you don't have audio playing. Like Amped to hell and back, meaning if you have the best of the best in everything else the cable is basically the last thing you'd upgrade because it has the smallest notable effect on sound.
So this means when it comes to marketing they legally can say cables do this and that, because even if it's 0.05% better, technically it is better. Personally if I buy an upgrade cable, I'm buying it for a few reasons. Looks, material quality and tangle resistance. The cable should look good, feel good and last a long time as well as hang straight and not twist and knot itself. Sound improvements are the last thing I worry about, for that I first look at my driver, then my source and then my power before I assume "Hey maybe my cable is letting me down".
I believe there is a strong difference saying that the performance of a cable aka making something sound "better" or more and saying another cable is making the sound appeal to me and my preference. If cables don't have an impact, then any signal carrying circuit or cable is the same, yet most agree that DACs "sound" different, DAPs do as well. So the conclusion that a signal is either on or off as you describe it I just don't buy, it's analogue and it is very much how much on or off as well. Then there is a diminishing return of investment after a certain point and then we're approaching a new level of psychoacoustics at best. But to me having tried my way through the jungle being a sceptic, I find that adding silver in plating or completely makes more of an impact to my liking on the sound in general.
Very well said bro !!!!!
Thanks!
Yay! I know know the name of the tips I use, I was wondering what they were, but I have so many of the buggers, it's difficult to tell. That and I love me some C8 cable, got it on my OH10's and my Blon. I got cheaper silver balanced cables and I really like the muted copper I got too, also cheaper than C8. Even the most expensive cable I have was only about 50 Euro, full XLR balanced, use it it on my ELEX
“Stop being stupid, man...” lmao! 😂
I totally agree with expensive cables being a scam. But, regardless of how much a cable costs, wire gauges definitely has an effect on the sound, mostly due to capacitance and resistance. The more copper(mass rather than the amount of strands) you have in a cable, there will be more resistance and capacitance build up, which means slightly more output but loss of high-end to the signal, causing the overall frequencies to shift slightly.
it's no more mass, but length. The longer the cable, more resistance it will have. Now if this mass is applied on make the cable thickier, than it will have less resistance.
Great video. Just one thing. People buy cables if they want better looks but also if the stock cable is too long, too rubbery, etc. So please add ergonomics, let's call it, in fact, that is the #1 reason to buy an after-market cable.
Good point. I have had cables that were too short or disaster spiders
Only reason I replaced the cable on my ybf was because I wanted an extra feature that the stock one didn't have. If anything they sound worse because of it running off the crappier amps and being compressed into bluetooth.
Not usually into cables but I did just order 2 of the Clair/ monarch cables from drop to use on my nio and Thor.
Thanks for "Gilding the Lilly" , i like it a lot and will add it to my vocabulary! :-D Greetings from Germany :)
Thanks for your review....almost got myself yinyoo 16 core, which cost more than my kz zsn pro x....me as non-audiophile it will fuckin no necessary... But I might consider to get one of budget earphone that you suggested in your video description...thanks man
Yr honesty is loved.thank you! I am eyeing a blue cable rn and idk WHY companies make the beautiful ones so expensive. They all sound the same so why are my fav coloured cables so costly 😪 Its like $20 and for me that's too much but uk wat maybe I'd get it as a gift to myself because i sometimes like wasting money 😅😅
Glad it was helpful!
@Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews Have you had any issues with discoloration due to oxidation on the Tripowin C8? I see reviews on Amazon where the cable turned green. It looks like these reviews are from 2021. The reviews prior didn't seem to have the issue.
Wait, expensive cables don’t make a difference? Are you gonna tell me next that Santa is not real?!?
Santa is real bro. Lets not get crazy. We are all kids inside
This is a very good video. Thank you
I want the lightest and most comfortable cable. They are rubbing on skin or pulling down afterall?
Any recommendations?
Yeah, it's the same thing with speaker wire. I remember when Monster Cable was the premier speaker cable to buy for a high price. It's a Fucking heavy gauge wire. Radio Shack was selling their own version for much less. It's all about electrical resistance. A fancy high priced wire with some fancy looking connectors on the ends aren't going to sound any better than just some plain old speaker wire (as long as it's a heavy enough gauge).
Cables are nothing, people change fuses to "modify the soundstage". Somehow "it gets bigger, clearer"... yeah, CLEAR STUPID! Great video, man!
Thanks.
Preach bruh
I agree with you, nice opinion....
I think it’s true up to a certain point but my thread thin Tripowin grace cable at £14 with mic has terrible microphonics compared to the much nicer Tripowin C8 with mic which is double the price at £30 which still has a touch of microphonics but maybe 10% of the grace.
So IMO when you get into the low low end there is a huge difference between them and the mid priced ones.
It’s when you get into the £100+ range it starts to get stupid
What would be considered expensive for cables? I've never thought about buying cables that made the iems "sound" better, but I will buy based on looks and if it's a cable that doesn't get tangled easily...
probably anything over 50 bucks. But its all subjective just like this hobby.
I just hear difference between silver and copper and different gauges and thats it...I am using decent quality cables and i think it is more than enough...
Do a blind test,bro.
I would say only shielding matters.
Materials are just changing resistance/impedance & Eq'ing your iems.
Watch out for those terrible KZ TRN cables though, they can function but up to 1ohm resistance in a cable is a lot, even the cheapest stuff usually has 0.3ohm at the worst, 0.2 and lower seems to be common
Yeah im just looking for decent looking cables with good connections with my iems. Some i replace the stock cables on because they're built poorly either at the connection points or earloops , others the stock cables fine.
I like good looking well made cables, I will spend a bit too. Not gonna tighten the bass or any crazy stuff like that though
as someone that loves watches, no, we dont think that a $10k watch is objectively better than a casio f91w. almost all men and women that are into watches literally just think of expensive watches as funcional jewellry, including my mother that probably has an easy $30-$40k in watches. all 4 of them watches
My main requirements for cables are
1. It works
2. It doesn't tangle
For non removable cables the "crap cable" awards go to Koss and any old J cable from Sony but especially the Sony Ericsson MH1.
Well, don't kill me but I do really think swapping cables between Silver cables and Copper Cables makes a slight but slight difference depending on the IEMs, but it is not the drastic or massive changes as some dudes consumed by their recent expenses and trying to find justification on it preach about on many HIFI forums out there; I do completely agree though that a copper or silver cable that costs you $20 makes NO difference in sound quality whatsoever compared to that one in the market that costs $200 or even $2000.
Regarding that I may be suffering from placebo. I don't know the science or engineering behind it but I've been swapping between Silver and Copper cables on my FH5 for the past two years casually without even thinking about the sound (just swapping them out of comfort and cable portability) and I always pin point that I get a slight drier and more energetic sound out of my FH5 with a silver cable and a slight smoother or more relaxed sound using the copper one. However, I wanna make clear that NEITHER of them makes my FH5 better sounding IEMs nor offer a drastic change.
I also tried with other IEMs such as BLON-03 between swapping out its trashy default cable with a copper cable but got no audible difference.
Also, NEVER ever noticed change in sound with swapping out cables on headphones.
I stick with the Yinyoo 16 core cable when it on sale for $15 or less. The NiceHCK 16 core is also the same with slightly different fittings but is rarely on sale from its $35 price. I bought one for $16 and it’s the same cable. Fit due to flexibility and straight connectors are the primary reasons for better cables in addition to looks.The $8 cables from TRN are good if you don’t want to spend $15. The cable looks to be of the same quality as the previous mentioned cables. Remove the formed ear hooks and you’re golden.
Just got a cool looken NiceHCK 16 core “super blue” for $32. Good deal? Maybe. My KZ $10 upgraded wire works wonders so I should hear the voice of god with this self proclaimed $160* cable. (Joking) Looks awesome. That’s the main reason for my purchase
@@enemyspider87 All the mid priced NiceHCK cables under $50 seem to be good deals and very well constructed. As long as the cable allows for a proper fit for you and you appreciate it’s quality, it’s a win win.
There was a 8 to 10 point list in a cable review that resonated so well with me. It basically said cable must be well insulated on the outside and properly conducting on inside. cable may have slight impact based on material. It's most likely change in resistance so the whole music feels louder. And even if it changes certain frequency only, its miniscule compared to tip change. You will always win if you buy an expensive iem and a 20 dollar cable rather than the other way around. And if you like cheaper iem then expensive save up the money.. 😂
I still buy the Thieaudio Smart cable for new IEMs because it’s so luxurious and the connectors are super weighty
I personally think that the type of wire ( silver plated copper, etc) does have some effect on the sound to certain point but it wouldn't be a night and day difference. That being said, I do agree that buying certain type of cable solely because it is "pricier" doesn't mean it would sound better than the cheaper ones. It's more toward fashion at that point, dude be wearing iem that look like jewelry. looks cool tho, wish I could afford it one day
I have to buy a cable. My friend wasn't careful with my IEM and the cable broke or something. The right earpiece to my Kato sometimes make a sound and sometimes doesn't. I bought a cable just hoping that it will sound good, also it looks pretty so I guess that's also another reason to buy it. Haha
64 audio do make expensive cables though, and from what i understand that ghetto cable apparently costs 199$ on their website
Yeah I never got the whole a more expensive cable improves the sound stuff. Especially when it comes to staging etc
That's nuts to say...everytime I read folks say that stuff it blows my mind a little
Ugh cables do affect sound tremendously on IEMs and there's clear difference depending on the material and the total wires etc. This doesn't mean they should cost ~$3K-5K; I'm just saying more expensive cables do sound better
I bought 3 sets the QKZ based on bad boys review, but the cable unraveled and they split£100 wasted. Never again.
For me, It's between balanced and unbalanced. Balanced gives me that extra power (on my Fiio M11 plus) vs unbalanced. Makes a difference with my S12 planers.
I agree , looks and feels nice but thats about it
Chris - what is your perspective on Silver vs Cooper, - all BS?
I bought a cheap cable for tin hifi t2. But that cheap cable had noise and then i ordered a trn cable 6 core that didnt had noise like hiss sound
im guessing the trn cable has a higher resistance, which means it reduces the noise floor
I only buy a cable to replace budget crappy cables or to get a balanced connection that's it.
if i use a 3.5mm into 2.5mm female audio adapter and plug it to my balance 2.5 output will there be a difference in sound quality even though the stock cable is not balance and i'll be using only a 3.5 into 2.5 female adapter? tnx
Nice dude.. I think beside 2 kind, well constructed cable and fail constructed cable..
There is balance and unbalanced cable..
For me, as long as the cable is well construction and balance, i like it.. Maybe with price range 20 - 40 dollars..
Because at my country, mostly sell IEM with unbalance cable.. Thats problem for me.. Because i like balance cable than unbalance..
The balance? 4.4mm or 2.5mm doesnt matter because the scheme is same.. And 2.5mm is cheaper..
Hi any recommendation about cable that has a good mic?
I wish HBB still swore like this.
Any cable recommendations that have good wire characteristics that don’t tangle and don’t have much memory so it doesn’t stay bent? :)
The only thing I judge in a cable is how durable it is. If it has poor strain relief or the insulation is obviously subpar, then I will get a replacement.
Nice point...
Before I watch this video I really believe the cable can change the quality or the signature of the sound.
But now I understood all my little knowledge is bullshit and the cable just carry the signal that's true.
Thks for video
In other hobbies, it's OK to spend on purely aesthetic considerations. Like RGB lights on the computer or movement finishing on a mechanical watch. I have nice cables because they're sexy and a pleasure to use and wear. Sound differences? Nope.
Hey brother, do you plan on ranking the L5 maybe in your excel? im really waiting to know where you place these, i got a pair and im super happy with them, although something is not as clear as the L3. maybe i had a perfect L3 who knows hehe
Yes I will, not set on where i place it yet. It's not as good as Clair IMO,but i do like it a lot
Well said
Great Video, better re-upload it every 6 months to remember everyone 😅...
That's the plan!
So there is a cable sold by a local HK brand called Pw first times. The maker claim it has the magic of like its namesake, make you listen to music the first time.
Got a ps audio cable to use with ikko oh10s, only difference was they got a little bit louder because of lower resistance and it looked better.
Maybe I need to burn it in more 🤣
What are some good cable recommendations though?
Nice talk.
Cables make a difference, the question is to what extend. When I change from copper to silver, the low end weakens but I get more detail. This happend to me with Koss 95X Electrostats, Hifiman Edition XX Planars and IEMs. When I first changed from the cheap stock cable to a Forza Audio cable with JH 11 Pro customs I was able to notice the difference between lossy and lossles music for the first time.
The only reason to get a fancy cable is because you like how it looks or feels in hand, and you value that over something like better headphones/IEMs
😆😆😆 LOVE IT!!
any recommendation for none stock cable without expensive price tag?
I'm not a cable person but I listened to 4 different cables and there were very distinctive differences. 2 of them had emphasized low end but sounded rounded and lacked resolution. 1 of them had the same signature, but the low frequencies were very well defined (actually all frequencies were well defines). Last cable was much brighter than the other 3 cables, and had as much detail as the 3rd one, but bass and everything sounded lifted, which also affected the soundstage height perception increasing.
All cables were stock cables except for one, which was the low resolution one. So I'm pretty sure I'm not biased for the cable since I prefer 2 of the stock cables and couldn't find a difference with 1 of them.
now, perhaps only 1 of the 4 cables were "properly" made. but then what about the fact that 2 cables had the same good resolution, but one is brighter and one is warmer? It's not like either cable was bad, but they do offer different sound signatures.
As someone who isn't affiliated with any cable sellers or reviewers and wasn't even affected by buyer's remorse or copium, I found 2 cables with 2 different signatures that both offered very good resolution. So it's hard for me to accept that only 1 of the 2 was made "properly".
BRILLIANT VIDEO... and I guarantee you that there isn't one piece of credible unbiased data resulting from scientific measurements to support the theory that cables change the sound of IEMs or headphones. If one were to measure on a spectrum analyzer the frequency response of the electrical signal carried by any cable, they'd find zero difference between cables. Yes, theoretically there's minute differences in conductivity and capacitance, but this will definitely not yield an audible discrepancy. If you can't measure a difference in frequency response, then you certainly can't hear one.
Now I'm well aware of all those self-proclaimed "audiophiles" who claim to hear what isn't there, and use weird terms that originate from their self-created vocabulary, like "organic", to describe audio characteristics, but in reality such people are just enthusiasts who enjoy a hobby, most of whom are hearing the effects of the phenomenon known as psycho-acoustics-essentially audio's version of the placebo effect; others simply try to justify to themselves the exorbitant amount of money they paid for a cable by imagining they're hearing sonic improvements.
I, on the other hand, am a professional audio engineer with two university degrees in acoustics, and thirty years of experience in the music industry (both in studio and live environments), and I have yet to experience a sonic difference in any transducer resulting from a cable. The only difference between IEM cables is microphonics. I often laugh when I hear the copper vs. silver theory-copper is "warmer" and silver is "brighter" 😂. This fallacy is influenced by the metal colour itself; silver may look brighter but it sure doesn't give a transducer a brighter sound; if it did you'd quite easily be able to measure it, as a "brighter" sound would be the result of peaks in the higher end of the spectrum, or attenuation at the mid to bottom end.
I'm not saying upgrade cables don't have a place in audio, as long as people exercise common sense when purchasing them, and are being realistic about the benefits. A nicely-made IEM cable may be supple with low microphonics, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable, all of which are logical reasons for someone to consider upgrading; however, handing over hundreds (and even thousands) of dollars for a cable thinking their IEMs or headphones will sound better is just plain lunacy. If you're going to spend two thousand dollars on a cable in the hope that it will improve the sound of your IEMs, just use that money to buy better IEMs... common sense. But I guess, to each their own.
-Terry
Thank you for helping me not waste money
Do you have a graph stock cable vs upgrade cable?
Thise kind of opinions really just hurt those who are new to this hobby and glad this video now exists
That would be great if someone actually go and measure the differences in the frequency response of the same Iem with different cables
No computer hobby is sure not the same… I work in IT. The only thing I ever making thing better when you upgrade is cleaner power supplies (but even that are mostly small upgrades), or better shielded cables in case if a mscaler (not the 1000 euro bullshit cables). Good quality cables don’t have to be so expensive, kbear IEM cables is a good example of that. Mostly reason makes me change cable of een IEM because of the short stupid supplies cable on a 2000$ IEM… really? For that money you could not supply a short and long cable?
At this point I hope everyone knows that expensive cables are bs . Yeah they are built better in terms of durability and looks but that's all .
I saw a guy who can give an honest review ........... and it's you actually ❤
Thanks

I certainly defer to your expertise but I swear I hear more sparkle with a Moon Audio Silver Dragon and I hear a more robust low end with the black dragon.
you DO hear a difference, because hearing is perceived in the brain, and if the brain expects to hear a "more robust low end", than that is what it actually hears. Perception is a trip.
