NuForce Primo8 Earphones

Feb 10, 2018

Well, I ordered my brand new pair of the Primo 8 IEM's from eBay on Wednesday night, and got them less than 48 hours later! I paid $180/Shipped/with tax. I feel like I got a solid deal! And that's what I call free expedited shipping LoL 😁
First notes are that my MMCX Cable is already showing signs of static after about 30 seconds of listening to them. But I knew that going into buying them, and knew that I'd need an aftermarket cable to make these work reliably and make them really shine! I just thought that I'd have a couple of weeks before they got to that point! No biggie to me though and I know it's not the Primo 8's because if I switch the IEM end of the MMCX connector's, they work and sound fine, so it's definitely the Primo 8 MMCX Cable! Like I said though, no biggie to me 😎👍🎧😇
After doing a TON of research the last 24 hours, I found a bunch of MMCX Cables on Amazon that DON'T have an inline mic but DO have a RIGHT Angle 3.5mm connector (since I'll NEVER be using my IEM's with my Google Pixel phone), and have already shrunk down my list of ones that will work! I found out that I CAN'T use the Westone MMCX Cables, since they have a recessed plug. However, anything that works with the Shure IEM's and has a flush MMCX connector should work for my Primo 8's.
Here's the OKCSC MMCX Cable that I'm going to buy, so $30 is pretty fair IMO, as long as it works great! The Primo 8 IEM's are actually listed in the compatibility list for this cable, so I have great hopes that this one will work out for me 😀

And if anyone has any experience with this cable, please LMK how it worked out for you 👍 Also, I found a couple of other MMCX Cables that SHOULD work with my Primo 8's on Amazon!!! They just don't have any reviews yet!

And FINALLY Two MMCX Cables that I found on Penon Audio FWIW 😎

Sorry for the super long post as usual, and thanks in advance for any info you guys can give me! Without joining Massdrop and starting to read all of the reviews on here in the last few months, I'd NEVER know what I do now, and in such a short amount of time!
