KZ ZS10 PRO 2 Pin IEM Earphone Cable, KBEAR 16 Core Upgrade HiFi in Ear Monitor Replacement TRS Pure Copper Extension Cable (0.78mm 2 Pin, 3.5mm, Black) for AS10 ZST C10 X

This review is primarily to confirm that it's a good fit for the Massdrop Nuforce EDC3. The polarity matches insofar as the cable is shaped left and right (white and red) correctly for the iems (match the little dot on the cable to the front of the iem).It's a very high quality cable, heavy gauge, smartly designed. It incites vanity in me, hopes that strangers will stop and ask me about my music. The cable is a little bit shorter than most stock cables, but for the most part that's welcome save the very specific case of my needing to route it creatively through a balaclava and cycling jacket for winter commutes (read: I route it through a pit vent; works great!)Speaking of music, I'm using a Fiio M9 through the EDC3s, playing a variety of formats from DSD to 24 and 16 bit FLACS to embarrassingly collegiate-bit-rate mp3. The sound quality improvement from the cable is subtle but noticeable: overall better separate and less noise, but in particular more power and cleanliness especially in the lower frequencies. It's funny I don't actually need to turn it down much over the stock cable: there's more power without it necessarily being louder, and that's a fine, fine thing. In the excellent Saint-Saens Cello Sonatas from Poltera and Stott on Chandos, the cello notes are fully resonant but delightfully clean, so the play against the piano is especially precise though smooth. The obliterating bass drops in last year's Mahgreb United from AMMAR 808 make you stop everything and drop an f-bomb or two. Decay, decay! Arthur Rubinstein's opening chord attacks in the classic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Reiner/CSO melt toward their infinity point amidst the full-strings flurry of the quickly tempoed opening. John Bonham! Practically every kick drum, natural, organic, full--a real instrument being played. OK maybe now I'm talking about more than the cable, but you get the idea.

I'm am simply not aware of a better value for sound quality in a headphone cable. Period. Full stop. You can get more quality.... for sure. But you're guaranteed to pay more. For a difference you can actually hear, it's going to be a lot more.Really great and sweet, dimensional mid-range. Smooth, extended treble. Strong, well damped bass.There's some handling noise, but let's be real here, that's going to happen. True silver plated copper, 8 conductor cable.As with all braided cables, you can't beat on them like you can a single sleeve cable. But, understand this: the material in the sleeve has real, measurable dielectric properties that color the sound. So, this is the only way to get this kind of sound quality.

I have been using this for a few months now and it has been great. I love the quality of the cord and the sound is the best I’ve had.

Quality indeed, tho shorter cable than expected and hoped for.My acoustic kit sits beside my e-kit so I can rotate the module to practice to downloaded music.My thought was to use this as opposed to my headphones.

Very nice cable! I recently purchased a DAP with a 2.5mm balanced output and needed a balanced cable for my new KZ AS10s.To start with, if you have the option of balanced out over the standard 3.5mm trs plug, it is very much worth upgrading to a balanced cable for increased punch, bass and more power output. I am very impressed with this cable. It sounds great, and it looks and feels like a luxury product. My iems are like jewelry. I really love the comfortable ear guides. No memory wire! Perfect upgrade for KZ iems.I own many Kinboofi cables and the quality to price ratio is awesome! Not sure why anyone would spend $100 on a cable after seeing this one. Great value and excellent quality. I will be buying more from Kinboofi.Thanks for reading!

Very nice for the $. Got them for my KZ-AZ10’s and got the heavier 16 coils for my KZ-AS10’s. Both are nice and heavy and do not tend to coil or knot. These earbuds come with decent cables but these heavier one’s open things up a bit and helps bass to my ears. Use these with either of the KZ’s along with some Comply memory foam tips and you’ll have some earbuds you will never tire of.

This is a very nice looking cable and you don't have to worry about any kinking or any other issue. The audio on the other hand makes it sound harsh and boosts the treble to a point it is ear shattering. I have tried it on all my various audio devises and amps. This is making me think that spending money on cables might actually make a difference. The stock cable for the isine is by far superior but not durable at all. I'm now looking for spending stupid money on a solution to bring the sound signature back to what i'm used to for my favorite pair of IEH. I just thought this cable would have been balanced at the very least with having 2 separate ground wires in the braid. I might find a 3.5 mm balanced plug and learn how to solder and see if that even makes a difference since these are worth ruining.

My kids go through cords and cables faster than I don't what. Like where do they go? I tend to order more than I need because I know tomorrow its gonna be “MOM! I cant find my cord!” These are a cost effective option and get the job done.
