I also recently got the IE600 and decided to just get a third party cable after about 2 weeks.

This is the cable I went with, it's a little on the spendy side and I'm not sure it was worth the cost but the iems actually sit comfortably in my ear now. So take from that what you will.

They do have cheaper cables, obviously, but whatever you do make sure you select the right connector that says it's for the IE300/600/900.

Is there a specific name for the connectors used for IE600? I'm thinking of visiting the place I bought the IEM at and getting a third party cable, but I'm not entirely sure if they have any that fit.

You need to get one that says it will fit the IE300/IE600/IE900 as it's recessed. None of my regular MMCX would fit. Apparently you can possibly mod a regular MMCX if it has plastic red and white/clear bits at the end by cutting them off, I haven't tried this. Regular MMCX for sure won't fit though.

Stock is a terrible cable. It was riding up on my ears too. I replaced it with this one, under $10, AliExpress link is on the Imgur page.

Key is the MMCX connector needs just about 1mm of golden bit, so it will fit. I have seen some other MMCX cables that look like they would fit, but there are enough advertised to fit that I just got one that says specifically for the IE600.

I'm not sure of the specific name, all I know is that it's not the standard mmcx connector. Of the few online cable shops I know of Null Audio is the only one that actually has this connector as a build option.

Sorry I don't have more info than that. Trying the shop you bought them from is worth a shot but unless they specialize in making audio cables it's unlikely they will have a third party cable that fits.

FWIW, null audio says they have up to 2 weeks lead time but I placed my order on a Friday evening, had shipping information the following Monday, and the cable itself in my hands by the next Friday. Shipping from Singapore to the west coast US was pretty fast, they are hand made cables after all, and it is a high quality cable, so again, make of that what you will.

Apparently the shop I go to provides Brise cables that work with IE600, but at the same time, there might be a few weeks' delay(something about it being custom made), so I'll pop over and ask about it. Thanks for the information nonetheless!

I hope it works out! The IE600 is well worth the effort of trying to get them to fit right. I've really been enjoying mine, especially since I got the replacement cable.
