Listening environment: iPhone5→shadow 4-core→SE535 Originally, the SE535 had a similar midrange and vocal sound, but by re-cable to this product, the sound changed to a sound that took a step back in all bands. I have the impression that the monitor sound is a little closer to listening-like sound. However, the resolution has increased, and the separation of the sounds of each instrument has increased. The sound is also better, but not so much that the ceiling becomes higher. It’s a cable that’s easy to listen to while retaining the goodness of the material. Since it is woven with 4 cores, touch noise is not a concern. I think that white and black colors make a big difference depending on people’s tastes. You can enjoy the gentle “Japanese sound” that makes use of the goodness of the material!
