MMCX Loose Connection FiiO FH5 IEM Solved with 50cent ID4mm O-ring
This subject pertains to the following cable replacement: FiiO-LC-2.5B-MMCX-2.5MM BALANCED
When i installed this i noticed a 0.7/0.8mm gap vs the stock unbalanced cable, but the connector swiveled loose, i tried a ID3mm (1mm thick) o-ring but was too much, connector popped off, the ID5mm became lopsided helped but still too loose, the ID4mm seated correct perfectly stiff & connector secured electrically also keeps dirt out the gap.
Never purchase FiiO-RC-MMCX3B-2.5MM BALANCED cable for the FH5 or FH7 is an entirely different grade connector, besides being super swivel loose it rocks at an angle, i assume this replacement cable is for the 'smaller' FiiO range of IEMS, stunning thin black cable for OTG usage just a pity the connectors are different.
*I was surprised this gap developed between the stock un balanced cable vs replacement balanced, seems FiiO MMCX connectors can vary for the FH range.
