I make no illusions about what the product is: a cable. It’s braided, it connects to my IEMs, and they don’t tangle. They don’t make the music sound better. Any claims of such is placebo or snake oil. These cables are a wonderful upgrade from the Noble x Drop stock cable that I have been using.

Four stars because the over ear loop could be a bit better. I found it difficult to mold around my ears. The blue and red paint on the IEM connection side could have been applied better.
cndejongLike I told the user above you what’s the point of using a 20 pound cable? I would be pissed if I had to give up my thin amazingly thin er2xr cables for these doorknobs. Same with over-ears, how can you enjoy the sound quality when you’re wearing uncomfortable/painful gear.
League544Surprisingly you won't notice any real weight to this cable. Most people like the idea of longevity which the thinner cables tend to end up in the trash sooner than these in almost every true listeners case. I like to keep cables as long as possible, the high quality materials and thickness of this cable add to it. I wouldn't come here to shoot people down for this obvious "upgrade". And for digging in the ears, haven't yet experienced that with any linsoul cable let alone any of the 12 iems I bought and their now upgraded, or even the stock cable. The value is certainly there.
WaywardsporkNot for me, but then again I don’t move around like everybody likes to do just always moving or traveling or something.
for me somebody who’s usually in their house 99% of the time either sitting down or laying down, I don’t have issues with “microphonics”. !!!
kkamc72Maybe I wouldn’t, but I’ve had the same cables for decades, I mean, yes, cables certainly fail if you’re always out and about and moving around and doing the stuff that people like to do I guess, but for me I’m usually in a very sedentary position for the vast majority of my existence, what fails is the connectors/gold or silver plating usually
I’ve very rarely had a cable just straight up break or fail on me, I mean it’s hard to do that unless you’re snagging it on something or you’re being a dick to your wife. Here’s the problem, it’s not the thickness of the cable, it’s about the quality of the connectors and the plating, and further, even the cables used.
There has been a lot of debate over whether a lot of these cables even improve sound quality to begin with or if it’s just a myth, I’m impartial on that discussion.
League544Totally fair, I love to go on walks while listening to music so they're more of an issue for me. Pulling the slider up and using the shirt clip definitely does make a bid difference ime
WaywardsporkYeah for sure, I guess it depends on what people’s activities are surrounding the headphone.
My ENTIRE set up is based in bed, so laying completely flat with over-ears? Impossible, unfortunately.
So there are some trade-offs I have to give, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything, I’ve invested thousands of dollars into my bed, and it’s just so much more comfortable than sitting at an uncomfortable chair all day and hurting your back.
I wouldn’t recommend anybody doing this for years on end without exercising at all like I did, and THEN come back and exercise like you’re training for the Olympics. You’ll end up with terrible tendinitis for YEARS. Disclaimer: always warm up before exercising/ don’t just lay in bed all day without exercising lol.
