Effect Audio Eros II Headphone Cable Lightly used, 2pin to balanced 4.4mm. I’ll throw in a Fiio 4.4mm to 3.5mm adaptor as well. I am the first owner, price includes shipping in Australia if required. Specifications: 22 AWG UPOCC Litz Copper / Silver Proprietary Multi-Size Stranded design within single encapsulation Flexible insulation (same as Leonidas) New EA CF connectors and Y-Split Description: Eros II+ is for people who want more out of their Ares. Immersive and alluring, intimate vocals, visceral bass punch, while removing that limitation in soundscape and imaging as most hybrid cable
A$220 is fair to slightly strong, but not a steal unless the cable is clean and includes the terminations/adapters you need. Comparable second-hand pricing for Effect Audio’s Eros II family tends to sit well below original retail, so A$220 is reasonable only if this is the genuine Effect Audio cable and the condition is genuinely good.
What makes it worth a look is that the Eros II is a well-liked hybrid upgrade cable: it aims for a smoother, more refined presentation without giving up too much body or sparkle. If the listing includes the original packaging, storage case, and the correct connectors for your gear, that adds real value; if not, the price should soften a bit. For an older boutique cable, the key checks are simple: connector wear, oxidation, intermittent channel issues, and whether the seller can confirm exact terminations.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Fiio, founded in 2007 in Guangzhou, China, emerged as a specialist in portable audio gear, initially crafting components like speakers for brands such as Meizu before launching its own lineup. The name blends "Fi" from hi-fi fidelity with "iO" symbolizing digital one's and zeros, evoking authentic sound and modern convenience, while its Chinese rendering "飞傲" conveys innovative vitality. From modest beginnings, the company expanded into a 15,000-square-meter industrial complex by 2022, solidifying its role as a prolific developer of music-centric electronics.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of portable and desktop audio categories, with flagship strengths in high-resolution digital audio players (DAPs), USB DACs, portable headphone amplifiers, and in-ear monitors. Its portfolio also encompasses cables, desktop amps, and select speakers, prioritizing versatile, high-performance solutions for on-the-go and home listening without venturing into turntables or large-scale hi-fi systems.
Fiio occupies a commanding mid-tier position in the global audiophile market, renowned for delivering premium sound quality at accessible prices that punch above their weight. Praised by enthusiasts for reliability and value, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking refined portable setups over luxury excess, backed by worldwide distribution and a track record of user-acclaimed innovations.
