Just buy a dongle.
I bought the USB-C version for something like $8 a few months ago and definitely wouldn't again. Decent build quality - that's about the only good thing I have to say about them. No mic built in, which is really annoying, especially because every device I plug them into thinks they have a mic (this is not true for my other headphones without a mic). This means that for phone calls I have to unplug my earbuds, which gets really annoying. Another very annoying thing is that it does not have play/pause control - my $25 earbuds have this and a mic, and they even include the earbuds! The only way I can pause my music quickly is to unplug then, which means I have to plug them in and restart my music to play again. This is very annoying, especially for quick yes/no questions from coworkers. They don't fit my earbuds well, and in fact my earbuds pretty regularly fall out. I nearly lost one on the sidewalk because of this! Overall, I can only recommend these for use while sitting down and listening to music at home. But at that point, why bother? Almost everyone would be served better by simply using the cable that came with their earbuds and an aux to usb-c dongle or DAC, the former of which would likely be cheaper too.

Competent USB-C cable
I got the black USB-C version. Some points on the build:
  • It's a simple 4 core braided cable, not as flashy as an 8/16 core but any braided cable will be much more durable than a straight one.
  • Out of the box, it's very soft and pliable, but only time will tell if it stays that way.
  • There's no strain relief near the USB-C connector at all, which makes me concerned for its longevity. It's nothing out of the ordinary since straight connectors for braided cables never have this anyway, but I do wish this would change.
  • There is a cable cinch, which is always nice to have.
Onto the DAC, I had trouble getting it to work on my Android; turns out this was because OTG was disabled, so make sure it's on. Be aware that on some phones (i.e. phones that use Oxygen/ColorOS), OTG disables itself after 10 minutes if you leave the port unused, which is very annoying, but it isn't fault of the cable itself (I think). As far as the DAC's sound quality goes, I don't notice the noise floor (the IEMs I'm using aren't super sensitive, YMMV) and it doesn't sound as low quality as the built in jacks of my various devices (though it's hard to A/B test, since it's not a dongle...). If you get the USB/Lightning version, you're probably not obsessive over sound quality anyway, so you'll be satisfied knowing that it's more than good enough. Overall, this cable doesn't do anything worse than the average, so you'll be fine with it. The value is decent, and on sale it's pretty good.

quality cable, a bit too expensive
The cable itself is pretty good. It is slim and is pretty easy to untie, and it winds itself back together pretty easily. Compared to using a dongle, the cable also cuts down on background static/noise. It is still a bit too expensive for what you get however

Oxidized after half a year.
Update: after about 6mo I've noticed signs of oxidization at the top of the cable, now more than half of the cable is greyish-green. If you're buying it for transparent/golden look, then be aware that it won't last long. I bought these as I wanted to try balanced cable with IEMs. And as the result I don't see the difference. I switched back to the stock SE cable, as it was more universal in a way. Quality is still good, so I can recommend these as a replacement cable at least. Otherwise its just a cable, don't expect miracles from it.

Unusable due to inaccurate ad
Bad description of the product, I can not use it because it is different from what the ad promised. I had to buy another one at another store. The connectors of the cable do not have the middle channel to fit in the headphones, I made my purchase following the recommendations in the advertisement: it said that the cable was compatible with:
  • MASSDROP X MEE AUDIO PLANAMIC IN-EAR MONITORS
  • MASSDROP X EMPIRE EARS ZEUS UNIVERSAL IEMS.
Both iems have in their cables a channel in the middle of the connector (see images) When I contacted support they told me to return it but the shipping cost was almost the same as the value of the cable. Given this, the only thing I can do is store the cable without being able to use it. I think I should have received a refund due to the misadvertising but they did not reply to me again. Drop cable:

Lightweight & thin
Solid cable that doesn't drag on you and with some "shaving" by the pins you can get these to fit moondrop iems or any other ones that are very recessed (looking at you final audio).

NYCrucialI use the copper cable with my mass drop Zeus iems, works fine,no problems. I also use the cable on my noble audio massdrop iems. The copper brings a warm extra bass to K10s and Zeus. Good inexpensive cable.

I got the usb-c version. Great implementation. Drives the planamics easier from phone or tablet, where I typically balance audio with wavelet playing Tidal or HiBy HiFi bitrate. Wish this had been an option when I ordered the planamics in the first place. Usb-c with microphone would also have been a nice option.
