wait

2018-08-29 22:59:16 UTC  

**cheap** *$8* cable

2018-08-29 22:59:21 UTC  

that isnt cheap

2018-08-29 22:59:26 UTC  

Okay $3

2018-08-29 22:59:32 UTC  

there's MMCX cables like that

2018-08-29 22:59:38 UTC  

$8 is cheap for a cable

2018-08-29 22:59:55 UTC  

spoiled cunts

2018-08-29 23:00:20 UTC  

funny somehow it does find only wifi cables when i type mmcx

2018-08-29 23:00:26 UTC  

i dropped $30 on my ety cable which was cheap as fuck

2018-08-29 23:00:31 UTC  

mmcx is a type of coaxial connector

2018-08-29 23:00:38 UTC  

its used for antennas

2018-08-29 23:00:59 UTC  

that makes sense

2018-08-29 23:01:04 UTC  

Yep, fairly certain that same connector is used on modems, wireless cards, and 3G/4G cards.

2018-08-29 23:01:09 UTC  

It is, but since there are $2 dollar cables (even if they are DIY), some people might say $8 is kit cheap enough

2018-08-29 23:01:25 UTC  

we're talking mmcx cables

2018-08-29 23:01:29 UTC  

not just any cable

2018-08-29 23:01:41 UTC  

if it was a 3.5 male to male it'd be a different story

2018-08-29 23:01:52 UTC  

I dropped close to $20 on an 8-core 0.78mm bi-pin cable. But..the thing about MMCX is that it has to be strong.

2018-08-29 23:01:58 UTC  

I'm talking the solder job.

2018-08-29 23:02:04 UTC  

mmcx is junk

2018-08-29 23:02:30 UTC  

I prefer bi-pin rather than MMCX.

2018-08-29 23:02:41 UTC  

But you know, T2's are good so I'll deal with it

2018-08-29 23:02:43 UTC  

2 pin is far better

2018-08-29 23:02:55 UTC  

mmcx is such a shit connector for iems

2018-08-29 23:02:55 UTC  

bi-pin is much more durable.

2018-08-29 23:03:18 UTC  

its fine for antennas since it needs to be rotated and doesnt have a lot of repeated movement

2018-08-29 23:03:25 UTC  

but the way it locks is so shit for iems

2018-08-29 23:03:28 UTC  

I also prefer 2 pin, it's more reliable and durable

2018-08-29 23:03:37 UTC  

i wish jh's screw in 4 pin wasnt proprietary

2018-08-29 23:03:42 UTC  

its a legit great iem connector

2018-08-29 23:03:55 UTC  

I've nearly dislocated my finger trying to yank out an MMCX connector on my Senfer PT15's

2018-08-29 23:04:02 UTC  

Those things are stupid strong.

2018-08-29 23:04:15 UTC  

its a shit mechanism

2018-08-29 23:04:20 UTC  

what do u expect

2018-08-29 23:04:20 UTC  

I think 2 pin is better but honestly its an artisan connector at this point

2018-08-29 23:04:55 UTC  

It's much more durable, not to mention you won't have the constant movement issues associated with MMCX.

2018-08-29 23:05:09 UTC  

I haven't had an MMCX cable break on me, except for a couple small antenna cables

2018-08-29 23:05:39 UTC  

0.78/0.75mm bi-pin is far more durable.

2018-08-29 23:05:41 UTC  

Change my mind.

2018-08-29 23:07:04 UTC  

mmxc looks cooler
