Decent cable. Nice and light and easy to manage. A bit of microphonics, especially above the Y. Chin strap is a little chinsy (no pun intended, or maybe it is). It’s about on par with a cable that might be included with a decent set of IEMs, slightly better than the cable you’d get with an “average” set of IEMs. For $20, I can’t really complain, it’s about what one expect from a $20 cable. I do definitely like the lightness and not so thick compared to more “premium” cables. That’s definitely a big plus.
i would take a more critial eye to this cable at $80, but for $20, it's a function option for a 2.5mm balanced option. it's a little on the stiff side for the earhooks (double layer of transparent heatshrink) which may be a pro or con depending on the user.
