I would like to thank user “some1” for loaning me out his set of TF10’s and cables! His a truly stellar man; In fact I have, in the past bought 4 pair of Monoprice 8320’s from him! If you are actually interested in buying the 8320’s (best bang-for-buck earphones) then give me a shout, and I’ll forward you his email or send him a PM if you are a head-fier!

As said above, “some1” was kind enough in providing me with 3 separate cables to compare and contrast with, here they are:
–Stock UE TF10 Cable (Standard black shiny-esk wire)
–Chris_himself Silver Ray Cable (White braided with wooden splitters)
–Jaben ES8 Cable (Black coloured braided wire)
