And the guy tied to her?

He's Pierre.

Reply to Hifiman cable recommendations? by marystwin

I've found Linsoul Tripowin Zowie cables to be good value options from Amazon. Worth a look to see what options they have for the 4.4mm to 3.5 ends.

Reply to Hifiman Edition XS Headphones (Upgrade from Moondrop Blessing:2 Dusk IEMs?) by Sleepless_in_Bristol

I have experience with some similar headphones / IEMs. Namely Anandas and Moondrop Variations (also Focal Clear Pros).

The Variations absolutely shit on the Anandas (and Clears) for detail / critical listening.

That said, the Anandas add a great sense of openness, that I'm somewhere in the middle of a big world.

My overall take would be to expect it to be a different experience, rather than inherently a better all-round experience. Definitely worthwhile to have the different setup (it's also good to be able to hear when my partner is calling for me to come deal with a spider, etc.).

I ran the Anadas and Clears off a Topping D10s and Schiit Magni Heresy, and that setup did very well (now running a SMSL SU-8s and Singxer SA-1). I'd suggest trying the gear you have already, and then adjusting if you feel you need to.

Reply to Does anyone know of a cable like this (without the mic) that exists for 2 pin .78mm that I can use on my Blessing 2? by evscye

I've been happy with Linsoul / Tripowin Zowie cables for my Moondrop Variations. 2-pin versions fit nicely.

Have used 4.4mm (with SMSL SU-8s and Singxer SA-1) from my PC, and 2.5mm with my Qudelix 5K for on the go listening.

I like the cable 'feel', and they are not too pricey off Amazon.
