  • While this will appear to be a big commercial for XINHS, I did purchase all the cables from their store. If you haven't figured out that I like cables yet, keep watching.

    For any custom ideas like my bright/dark cable or graphene adapters, you will need to message the store.
    Very thankful for the folks at Head-Fi who have contributed to our knowledge on budget cables and navigating the possibilities at XINHS.

    Glad you liked them! XINHS is such a great hidden gem of a store, cant believe how I never discovered them before. Oh, and you can just call me Goku lol.
    For you others, you can check out my database over on head-fi or hifiguides. Tons of info in there that you might appreciate.

    I stumbled upon the XINHS store last month and after going through the reviews, ordered a bunch of 8 core 2.5mm balanced cables for all of my IEMs.

      Very nice. I have mostly 2.5mm 8 and 4 cores, whichever fits.

      I was drawn to the thick cables but they certainly have a variety. More important, message them if you are looking for something different, terminations, L type connectors, shorter lengths, etc. Just wanted to get a couple ideas out there of what they have been doing quietly.

    Thanks for the recommendation of this cable store. Just picked up a 2.5 connection with TFZ. Haven't seen this combination anywhere especially for $10.00 Thanks again.

    Thanks for the info! I'm more of a soft & ropy kinda guy. That's one of the reasons why I still like the Tripowin Zonie and the KBEAR Rhyme cables. Both seem to fall a bit better than the XINHS that I recently received. All 3 are silver plated copper 8 core but the Zonie and Rhyme both are softer and fall more easily around the neck. Gotta say though; the XINHS I've got has got a bit less microphonics than the previously mentioned two. THAT I really like, because I hate hearing the cable rubbing against my clothing between tracks.

    • @PaulWasabii
      @PaulWasabii  Před 3 lety

      I know exactly what you are saying and not alone. Other than the 24 core cables which are braided similarly, there hasn't been a really ropey cable recently. I might have to ask about custom 8 cores with thinner cores, tighter braiding. It is a bit surprising to me how many people liked those soft 16 core cables. Thanks

    If you like thick cable then you should also check ISN Audio's H16 or C16.

      Any cable will work fine with Orchestra. The two affordable cables on my desk are NiceHCK's Blackcat and RedAg. XINHS cables are great but you need to wait for a sale period.

    I have FAAEAL and it is in "earhook" style. I would like to change it to normal style. If i cut the protecting plastics on the cable (nearby the earbuds), would it be normal style?

    • @PaulWasabii
      @PaulWasabii  Před 3 lety

      $40ish but it really depends on the current pricing. That was a $22usd cable plus a $38usd cable. His pricing on unlisted cables is a bit of a negotiation

  • @zhgfng
    @zhgfng Před 10 měsíci

    Could you explain "core count" for me? I've googled it and almost every explanation is different. I cant tell if a higher core count = thinner or thicker cable

    • @PaulWasabii
      @PaulWasabii  Před 10 měsíci

      Core count is nothing more than it appears, the number of wires braided together. The thickness is sometimes specified as core thickness but even so, you don't get an overall thickness usually. Core thickness is also fairly obvious, the wires used in 16 cores are going to be much thinner than 4 core cables. 8 core is where you see some crossover, there are some thick 8 core cables like the graphene cables.

    • @zhgfng
      @zhgfng Před 10 měsíci

      @@PaulWasabii Ok, so core count doesnt directly correlate to the overall thickness of the cable. Any advantaged to higher core count vs lower core count? flexibility or such?

    • @PaulWasabii
      @PaulWasabii  Před 2 lety

      You can have them use recessed 2pin on the cable or extended 2pin. I typically order recessed as it almost always works on recessed IEMs also. If the actual 2pin on the shell is not flush, but sitting below the shell slightly, I would order extended 2pin just in case.
