FiiO FH5 IEM's come with LC-3.5 or option [LC-2.5 same cable but with TRRS balanced 2.5]

These cables for me at 1.2m is too long & heavy for OTG (on the go public use.)

FiiO offer a very affordable RC-MMCX3B - 2.5mm Balanced Earphone Cable for FiiO/Shure etc.

Although this cable is still 1.2m long, a very nice thin black twisted pair.
The problem is with the MMCX connectors is that they swivel & rock easily, definitely not the same grade MMCX conn as the LC series cable from FiiO.

Do i just buy something from Alliexpress R799, take a chance and hope the MMCX conn are not cr@p or is there anything is SA we can use with decent MMCX conn hopefully a shorter/thinner cable & not costing R3000 & R6000 solution.. that's just ridiculous for OTG usage.
It's all relative..
