KEY FEATURES
• Tripowin Zonie replacement IEM cable
• 3.5mm plug for compatible headset sockets
• Two-pin earphone connectors
• Built-in omnidirectional microphone
• Inline media-control button
• 32AWG cable construction
• Sixteen individually woven cores
• Silver-plated SPC conductor material
• Approximately 1.25m cable length
• Flexible braided construction
• Designed to resist tangling during normal use
• Suitable for compatible detachable-cable IEMs

16-CORE SILVER-PLATED CABLE
The Zonie is constructed using sixteen finely woven 32AWG cable cores.
The conductor material is silver-plated SPC, meaning silver-plated copper. The braided construction is intended to provide reliable signal transmission while remaining flexible enough for portable listening.
The cable may feel thicker and slightly heavier than a basic stock earphone cable because of the sixteen-core construction.
This should be considered by buyers who specifically prefer an extremely thin or lightweight cable.
BUILT-IN OMNIDIRECTIONAL MICROPHONE
An inline microphone is incorporated into the cable for use with compatible phones, tablets, laptops, game controllers and other devices supporting microphone input through the 3.5mm headset socket.
The microphone uses an omnidirectional design, meaning it captures sound from around the microphone rather than requiring it to be aimed in one precise direction.
It can be used for:
• Phone calls
• Voice messages
• Online meetings
• Gaming voice chat
• Video calls
• General voice recording
Microphone performance will depend on the connected device, socket wiring, software settings and surrounding noise.
One customer review of this model reported microphone echo, while another reported normal microphone operation. Buyers should therefore test the microphone with their intended device soon after receipt.
INLINE CONTROL POSITION
The inline microphone housing also contains a media-control button for compatible devices.
Supported functions may include answering calls, ending calls, play, pause or track control, depending on the phone, computer, application and socket standard.
One customer noted that the cable felt relatively long and that the control module sat lower than expected. The cable is approximately 1.25m long, so buyers wanting a very short cable should check that this length is suitable.
3.5MM DEVICE COMPATIBILITY
The 3.5mm plug is intended for compatible combined headphone and microphone sockets.
The microphone or control button may not operate correctly when connected to:
• A headphone-only socket
• A standard stereo output without microphone support
• A desktop computer with separate headphone and microphone sockets
• Equipment using a different headset-wiring standard
• A device requiring proprietary earphone controls
A suitable headset splitter may be required for desktop computers that use separate headphone and microphone sockets.
Phones and tablets without a 3.5mm socket will require a compatible audio adapter. The adapter must support microphone input if the microphone is required.
TWO-PIN EARPHONE CONNECTION
This version has two-pin connectors for compatible detachable-cable in-ear monitors.
It does not fit earphones using MMCX, QDC or another proprietary connector.
Even products described as two-pin can have different socket shapes, recessed housings, pin spacing or surrounding mouldings. Compare the connector shown in the listing photographs with the sockets on your earphones before purchase.
Do not force the pins into an incompatible socket. Forcing or twisting the connectors may bend the pins or damage the earphone sockets.
LEFT AND RIGHT CONNECTION
Connect the marked left side of the cable to the left earphone and the marked right side to the right earphone.
The pins should be aligned correctly and inserted straight into the earphone sockets. Avoid pushing one pin in at an angle.
When disconnecting the cable, hold the connector housing rather than pulling directly on the braided wire.
NO USB-C DAC
This listing is for the analogue 3.5mm version.
The USB Type-C version of the Zonie range may include digital decoding and DAC features, but those specifications do not apply to this 3.5mm cable.
This 3.5mm version relies on the headphone output and internal audio hardware of the connected phone, computer, music player or amplifier.
It does not contain a separate USB DAC and does not provide a quoted 32-bit/384kHz digital decoding function.
SOUND EXPECTATIONS
The cable is designed to provide a reliable wired connection between compatible IEMs and a 3.5mm source.
Actual sound quality is determined mainly by:
• The earphones or IEMs
• The connected phone, DAC or amplifier
• The recording quality
• Ear-tip fit and seal
• Listening volume
• Personal preference
No specific change in bass, treble, volume or sound signature can be guaranteed simply by replacing the original cable.
SUITABLE FOR
• Compatible two-pin in-ear monitors
• Audiophile IEMs
• Detachable-cable earphones
• Music listening
• Voice calls
• Gaming voice chat
• Online meetings
• Portable music players
• Phones with compatible 3.5mm sockets
• Laptops with combined headset sockets
CARE INFORMATION
To help protect the cable:
• Disconnect it by holding the plug or connector housing
• Do not pull the cable directly
• Avoid sharply bending the wire near the connectors
• Do not wrap it tightly around a phone or music player
• Keep the two-pin connectors straight when inserting them
• Store the cable loosely coiled
• Keep the microphone and connectors dry
• Do not use the cable while swimming, showering or in heavy rain
• Avoid crushing it beneath furniture or equipment
The cable is not intended to be treated as waterproof.

It is approximately 1.25 metres long.
Is the cable lightweight?
It is flexible, but the sixteen-core construction may feel thicker and slightly heavier than a basic stock cable.
Where is the microphone control located?
It is positioned inline on the cable. Some users may find it sits lower than the control on their original cable.
Can microphone echo occur?
Microphone behaviour depends on the device and software. One customer review reported echo, while another reported that the microphone worked normally. Test it with the intended device promptly.
Does it need charging?
No. It is a passive wired cable and has no battery.
Does changing the cable guarantee improved sound?
No specific sound change can be guaranteed. Results depend on the earphones, source equipment, recording and personal preference.
