I wonder if that can be harmful because holes are there for a reason 🤔

put tape into the holes

not glue, not blutack

because you can always just remove the tape

or poke a hole in the tape for different effects

blutack gets the THICK bass though

is it necessary to get a cable or is stock fine?

Stock cable is certainly fine, unless you want over the year, then you probably want something with memory wire.

Is there anything wrong with this cable? Asking the experienced chi-fiers.

👍

@Onurtag depends on what you're going to use, the cable that you linked doesn't have padding for over the ear usage.

Though anything should be fine, even the cheapest ones.

It's just extra bling.

What do you mean by padding? Not the memory wire?

The braiding might be uncomfrotable, I haven't used cable like these so can't tell.

nvm it seems like it goes smooth on the mmcx endpoint

I'm dumb

chinks aren't so dumb at designing their cables

Yeah it has memory wire + shielding plastic so its good on that front.
But the braid will require extra care e.g not a "throw it in the bag" cable but im fine with that

I just have a lot of these, went trough 5 of them over ~2 years https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MMCX-Cable-for-Shure-SE215-SE315-SE535-SE846-Earphones-Headphone-Cables-Cord-for-xiaomi-iphone-Android/32855814663.html

So are we sure the Xioni airpods are going to be decent or are we doing a leap of faith?

is it bluetooth 5.0?

leap of faith

yeah, chink stuff has bad track record with bluetooth.

It claims so on the specs

tbh I'm just waiting on after market condoms that have rope on them so they stay paired together

o ya

anything on Bluetooth earbuds Best price I could find for the KZ BTEs are 20 bucks

🤢

So is that a no on the price or the concept of bluetooth earbuds period?

bluetooth cable or reciever friend

I think Samsung headphones are acceptable, I have no taste in actual sound beyond if it's loud enough and not too tinny

Just spend that extra on better earphones

dear buy tin 2 for balanced and v80 for v sound signature

I want wireless for a reason, m8

you can get wireless cables too
