I own two of these cables - one I purchased prior to Drop carrying it and one from Drop. It is excellent looking and has a great feel - and since I mainly use 2.5mm balanced, the extension of the adapters (3.5mm/4.4mm) don't bother me. Whether you hear a major difference is debatable , cables should be the last change you make in an audio system - Source, amp, DAC, IEM, etc... but as a subtle change on a darker IEM, I think the cable brings a clarity and tightening of music reproduction.
I don't have any cheapo cable or $1000 cable to compare. I'm not gonna say if this EST cable would dramatically "improve" the sound quality. I only believe different conductive material would change the sound signature slightly. Overall, I'm happy with this cable. At least, it doesn't change the sound signature for the worse. Pretty solid and well balanced.
This cable looks great and the silver plated copper is doing it's job well. A smooth yet detailed sound. Comes with a sturdy leather storage case. A great package for $55! I've had it since Jan 2021 and I like it even more now. Nice n broke in 🦻🦻 Also the adaptors come in handy and are still solid.
The cable itself is fairly light while feeling solid, and the 2.5mm end and the included adapters are built like tanks! It is always a lovely experience when OCC copper is around. The magnetic-latching leather case is also a very nice inclusion!
Works as intended and looks good doing so. There's definitely cheaper cables out there that achieve connections just fine. However, drunk me buys me the best presents. I love the look, texture, and build quality. The added bonus of adapters really made this a sweet deal. Cheers.
