Photographed: NiceHCK Blocc 5N Litz UPOCC OCC Copper Earphone Cable

This ca. $110 NiceHCK Blocc 5N Litz UPOCC OCC Copper earphone cable was submitted unsolicited by Jim NiceHCK for my review. Thank you very much. But before I dip into the world of premium cables, here some uncommented technical photography. Coming from the budget-cable segment, I can say right away that this cable is way more substantial in terms of handling than a $20 one – while still being light. On a first glance a nice piece of jewelry to decorate some upscale earpieces.
