Product Description
While it’s becoming common to find planar magnetic drivers nested inside roomie headphones, Helm is pushing the envelope again by bringing these powerful, expressive drivers to the F2 Dual Driver IEM. Each headphone contains that 6-millimeter planar magnetic unit, bolstered with an additional 10-millimeter transducer-style driver for added power—creating truly well-rounded and full-bodied sonic performance Read More
Not by the looks of it. Cable seems to be built in. It has controls and mic hence is why. Would be great if they did have a model with just headphones and no mic or controls but removable cable.
DracinnPretty cool these guys make a removable cable though I don't think it is a standard design. But totally agree that given the cost and hi-fi nature of the product cable should have been modular. Kind of a design oversight. I am still pretty intrigued by the deal driver feature.
eXpired56kThe cable on the F2s is not a removable design. With such a small design HELM had concerns about moisture and handling issues on a removable design that would accommodate the range of sizes available in the 3rd party cable termination housings on the market. The common 2-pin connection is a common point of failure (especially in a design this size) an a MMCX connection would have made the F2s considerably more expensive. Hope that helps.
