That being said, tips remained firmly in place throughout my testing. The nozzles have fine silver mesh screens in them, but no exterior lip to retain the ear tip. The seam isn’t perfectly flush at the recessed 2-pin socket, although this may have been intentional for some reason I can’t fathom. Hopefully, this isn’t indicative of how long the coating will last. With fairly minimal and reasonably careful use, one IEM already has a chip in the paint. A little color coding and better labeling would go a LONG way here. It appears that I was correct in my guess of left and right, and based on the curve of the cable, the L and R labels have to be faced to the inside when plugged in. Seriously, these are almost impossible to see. It turns out that under a strong light, I can make out a tiny L and R engraved on one side of the translucent rubber 2-pin connector housings. I assumed that the writing on the round black plastic cable Y-split faced front, and then I assigned the left and right cables based on that.
Thankfully it is easily replaceable.Īfter my initial inspection, it appeared that left and right is unlabelled on the cable and that the 2-pin connector orientation is likewise unlabelled. I have serious concerns regarding the Starfield cable’s longevity. I think the (much-maligned) stock KZ IEM cables feel (and look) far superior, less fragile, and much more premium. The blue Starfield cable and jack compared to the bronze KZ cable and black JVC cable. 6 pairs of silicone tips (2 small, 2 medium and 2 large).50 inch, 24 AWG Litz 4-core braided, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cable (pearlescent blue) with 3.5mm plug and dual 0.78 2-pin connectors.The actual retail packaging is a very attractive blue cardboard box which matches the Starfield aesthetic. My set came in a few small clear plastic ziplock bags with just the IEMs, cable and silicone ear tips in varying sizes. I received a review set of Starfield IEMs, and as such did not get the usual retail packaging. The result of these winding patterns is to equalize the proportion of the overall length over which each strand is at the outside of the conductor.” – Wikipedia Packaging and Accessories It consists of many thin wire strands, individually insulated and twisted or woven together, following one of several carefully prescribed patterns often involving several levels (groups of twisted wires are twisted together, etc.).

The wire is designed to reduce the skin effect and proximity effect losses in conductors used at frequencies up to about 1 MHz. “Litz wire is a special type of multistrand wire or cable used in electronics to carry alternating current (AC) at radio frequencies.
