This is 100% the cable you're looking for. Cable material is soft (somewhat rubber like) but still quality. Length is just about perfect. More than enough length to hang around/below your waist/butt when you're wearing them. Not too weighty where it pulls down on your head/ears, but not too light where it feels cheap. Solid, but comfy ear hooks. The synch at the top works perfectly to keep your IEM's tight and in your ears, even when moving your head around. The connections at both ends are solid (maybe could use a tad more length on the 2 pin end, but it still hooks in very well to the IEM, and I don't think it will ever come apart unless you purposely pull on it. Sound is great. No major upgrade over stock cables. Maybe a bit more tonality and depth, but that's probably placebo since cables rarely make much of a difference there. Overall, fantastic cables that I'd highly recommend. Read more
One of my favorite pair of IEM's to listen to EDM/House music with are the KZ Zax. That IEM is unlike the majority of KZ's line of IEM's. While KZ's are known for having a very pronounced V shape sound signature with a mid-range that gets lost under booming bass and almost shrill highs. Because the Zax's are a hybrid and not full armature they have a dynamic driver for the low end and 7 armature drivers per earpiece. The dynamic driver fixes a lot of the boomy low end issues that KZ's had become famous for. What really surprised me when I first listened to them was the presence of the mid-range. It is there and present in all the good ways you would want it to be yet never over powering. It was love at first listen and over the years that I have owned my KZ Zax's they have quickly become the IEM's I always have with me and listen to most often. Anyone who has ever owned a pair of KZ IEM's knows that the weakest part of any of their line is the cable that they include with their IEM's. The stock cable barely passes as something I would give any thought of listening to music through. They leave a lot to be desired. So the first thing to be ditched in a drawer somewhere is the stock cable. For the past year and 7 months I have had two 3rd party cables (the second one replaced the first one when the connection started dropping in and out in the left ear piece), While not the best cables available, they were far superior to the stock cable, they cost around $12 each and both of them lasted over 7 months before the internal wires started breaking at the bend points. I usually keep my phone in my front pocket with the headphones plugged in and I have a bad habit of leaving it that way when I sit down which is why I am very hard on cables and they all succumb to breakage at the bend points. Last week the second 3rd party cable finally started to show signs that death was imminent and the right ear piece was going to stop working very soon. I jumped on Amazon and started looking for a new replacement cable. The Tripowin Zonie caught my eye. Not so much because I knew it had superior sound quality due to its impressive build quality but more for its overall thickness. A 16 core silver plated cable is not going to internally break as easy as a 4 core cable (or at least common sense is on the side of the 16 core cable). Sure, I knew there would be some amount of better sound but I was really thinking about how sturdy that thick cable looked. My first impression upon unpacking the cable was that it really is a quality build using quality parts. As an added bonus it is also stunning looking (dare I say sexy as well). Then I put my trusty Zak's in my ears and kicked off some music. Wow! I didn't even have to think about whether they did or did not sound better. The music now has a noticeably smooth underbelly. The notes seem to be gliding effortlessly in the air. Until I started listening with this cable, I didn't even realize that sound coming out of my Zax's was traveling over a gravel road. At least that is the best way to describe it. I wasn't expecting this level of improvement but the ear to ear smile plastered on my face says a lot about just how good this cable is. At around $20 it is more than worth every penny. Read more
Well-made product...very durable...sufficient length to reach wireless audio pack on guitar strap, belt, etc. ends are solid and fit snugly into my IEM's, and the "ear curl" fits comfortably around my ears and the cable slide lock keeps the IEMs securely in place. The color is cool as well! Read more
This cable does exactly what it needs to do and looks pretty nice. Audio quality sounds the exact same as every other cable I have, which is expected, but the main plus of this cable is its design. The cable is weighty from the metal jack and the thick cable. The quality of the small wires is good and hasn't broken yet. The main, lower part of the cable is flexible and doesn't hold any memory when you coil or wrap it. However, the factory weave on it can be a bit consistent, since there's a few small sections where the weave on one or two of the wires isn't as in line with the others. Read more
Fabulous upgrade, beefy yet soft feel. Back of neck adjustment, which is nice. Replaced my stock KZ cable. What a difference! Read more
I bought this to use with one of my IEM sets after getting frustrated with the cheap cable it came with. This is a vastly superior cable. It's surprisingly soft & supple, but feels quite durable. It's quieter (in terms of noise from the cable movement) and despite not making an effort to keep it neat, it's proven quite good at avoiding getting knotted up or tangled. They haven't had any issues with looseness when plugged into the audio jacks on my devices. It's a very good cable, and I'll be replacing the cables on my other IEMs with this type over the next few months. Read more
I purchased this cable for use with my KZ ZAR in-ears. I'm a drummer who performs live music, and was looking for an upgrade from the factory-incuded 8 strand braided cable that came with the ZARs. The Zonie cable offers high quality materials, including the offering thick braided cable that's flexible, adjustable, tangle-free, and provides great sound quality. I believe the Zonie provides slightly better sound quality results and has excellent features and build compared to the factory 8 strand cable from KZ. I would have rated this higher only if it had a tighter fit for the recessed 2-pin KA ZAR point of connection. The connection was not a tight fit with its .78mm size, and had caused the cable to disconnect from my KZ ZARs too easily when actively moving (playing drums). I believe the KZ ZARs have a .75mm recessed 2-pin. Even though it says it would fit the ZARs, as well as Amazon's Rufus assistant and product fit guide also confirming these would fit, they did not fit well for any sustained period of time. Aside from that, I'd still highly recommend for those who may have in-ears with the exact same size connections these may be available in. Be sure to recheck your size needed and what's available.
