With Sennheiser's somewhat incompatible MMCX connectors, does anyone know of a balanced replacement cable for the IE200?

It’s actually not that sensitive. I have to turn mine up a few notches above what I’m used to listening to on my 100 Pro and 400 Pro

Output on amp is balanced

The tripowin zonie cable comes in balanced and I’ve seen it used with other IE variants like this before. Just cut out the side indicator plastic with a blade and the IEMs click right in Here’s my IE300‘s as an example: https://i.imgur.com/gvcpuNU.jpg

The worst thing about the IE 200 is that garbage cable. I can't stand how microphonic it is.

So I have heard, and from more than one source.

I did the mod today, and it works fine! Thanks, saved me from buying a new cable. I can confirm that the Tripowin Zonie balanced cable with mmcx connectors does NOT work with the Sennys without doing the mod referenced above, but with the mod done, no problems.

Just came across this tip and it worked like a charm - thanks!

Why do you need a balanced cable for such a sensitive IEM?
