QKZ Q1 Max Cable 3 months hard use review
I have been asked to do another review on the QKZ Q1 Cable, having purchase a second cable to match up with my QKZ HBB I recently purchased.
So rather than repeat all the same things, which seems a little ridiculous, I thought I would answer questions about the durability of these cables. Having put them through some pretty hard use.
As mentioned in my earlier review, I wanted to match the IEMs in question the QKZ HBB and the QKZ HBB Khan with a cable that had a similar value. The price at the time of purchase was $14.00 USD
While these cables wouldn’t be described as audiophile jewellery, they are perfectly functional and a great match for these particular IEMs, having the interchangeable input plugs means I can use both single ended and balanced sources.
I have been using this cable while chainsawing and chipping up trees, lawn mowing, working out at the Gym, riding trails on my mountain bike and motorcycling…
What I can say is no matter how physical I have been, the cables have remain firmly plugged into the IEMs and the input plugs have never separated from the cable.
I have cables the light, white finish and the darker black finish, both have stood up over time. However given the dusty environments in which I work and the amount of sweating I do I suspect I will end up with 2 dark cables over time. :-)
I have no hesitation in recommending the QKZ Q1 Max cable to anyone on a budget, looking for a cable upgrade.
Cheers
