I just bought one of these from Aliexpress for the QT2:
- It was $3.40!? I don’t know how they even cover shipping with that, but I’m not complaining.
- The braided cable is more subtle and generally nicer than the stock rubberized QT2 cable
- The angled 3.5mm connector is much better for my phone than the stock straight-out connector which is basically a big lever waiting to torque the socket if I hit it wrong
- I immediately cut out the memory wire and the IEMs sit securely and comfortable with just the conforming natural wire
- The y-connector split is way too low, just like the stock cables. I’ve temporarily fixed that with a twist tie and I might apply some heatshrink later.
Now, there’s the bummer. 2-pin connectors come in two diameters, 0.75mm and 0.78mm. It wasn’t clear to me which the QT2 have, so I ordered a 0.75mm connector to be on the safe side (go too large and it’ll stretch out the sockets). Well, they fit a bit loosely, so I guess that means the QT2 uses 0.78mm 2 pin connectors. So far there’s no sound issues from loose connection and the fit seems tight enough that the cable doesn’t just fall out, so perhaps it’ll be fine.
