Be aware... cables matter with this one... the stock cable is upper mids aggressive. Swapping out cables either made these boring or "just right" depending on the choice. You might have to experiment to find a cable you like. Right now I have a balanced Tripowin Zonie cable on them. I got the version with the manufacture's blue cable... now I'm wishing I would have got the brown cable in case there was a difference... I think the blue is much prettier with regard to looks, unsure about the sound...

zep483I tried about 5 different cables consisting of pure copper vs silver plated copper and balanced vs unbalanced and I never found a combo that sounded good to me. I also tried all the included styles of tips and and a few of my proven tips in my collection and nothing worked for me at all. I also tries several sources and nothing made any appreciable improvements. I just find the Springs to be incompatible with my ears. I have the Peacock P1 and I do like it. I was hoping these were going to be an improvement but I guess not. The bottom line is these sound harsh where many vocals with S and T sound grainy and shouty to use technical jargon. Some folks clearly like them but I am not one.

CyberthingyUh, just a suggestion, science shows cables don’t affect sound at all assuming they’re properly made. So you might wanna try a new set of iems/eq and forget all this cable talk.

League544I don't necessarily think that cables affect the sound of an IEM but I made an anecdotal effort to rule it out. Zep483 suggested that the cables mattered with this one.

CyberthingyMaybe the stock cable that came with the set is absolutely awful which is usually the case even with iem's up to $4,000, these greedy ****heads won't even spare 20 bucks to include a proper cable.
If you are looking for an end game cable using the best conduction material available on the market, look on aliexpress or linsoul.
Type in 7n (or 4n is much cheaper) pure silver (make sure it's not silver plated copper) 4 or 8 core cable.
So I'd type in "7n pure silver 8 core cable" you can buy a 99.99999 pure silver cable 8 core for only 50-60 bucks.
Mine is a Yinyoo 7n 8 core pure silver cable 😎💜🥈

CyberthingyAlso if you just wanna spend like 20-30 only you can buy a 4n 8 core for only 25 bucks!! Linsoul also sells one for 25, it's called like the t3 or t4 cable. Avoid the zonie, it's a basic copper cable, inferior to silver in every way.
