Move over snake oil, black rice oil is here!

  • "Unleash the Potential of Your In-ear Monitors"
  • "Say goodbye to ordinary sound and embrace the extraordinary."
  • "..no ordinary cable; it's a masterpiece in itself."
  • "..this cable is your gateway to audio nirvana."

The marketing tactics to separate us from our money just keep evolving more & more.

Thoughts?

i wouldnt buy it without trying, but nothing inherently wrong

looks like a cheap taobao cable that might be outperformed by a high quality stock cable (eg from ue, 64, jh)

It is inherently wrong to think that a cable will change the sound signature in any percieveable way.

i mean i did see video of chinese factory soaking cable in oil, dont know what kind of oil is and not sure if it have any effect.

Me? sticking to old copper cable or silver plated copper, anything within reach i guess.
