Eidolic IEM connectors are the new industry standard for durable, functional, and beautiful IEM cables.  Featuring a complete re-engineering of the popular IEM connection types, Eidolic has solved the durability and fit issues that have plagued the hobbyist-grade connectors currently being sold, while allowing anyone to build enduring, truly custom cables for most in-ear monitors.  Eidolic now offers a true flagship MMCX plug, with the best possible insulators, platings, and contact material, plus an industry-best barrel locking method.  Unique styling marks this plug as the completed evolution of the IEM connector.  

Compatibility.  With the Eidolic Premier MMCX connector, there is excellent compatibility with Shure, new Westone, Campfire Audio, and countless others with the round MMCX locking plug.  

Features.  The connector barrel is made of media-blasted aluminum rod stock lathed to precise specifications, with Eidolic logo and engraved ring on each barrel.   Colored elastic rings which nest in the barrel’s engraved ring serve as a left/right label.

Premier insulation.  The Premier MMCX connector brings a gold-plated tellurium copper center pin to the MMCX connector.  The connector features strong Teflon insulation for worry-free soldering.

Eidolic Locking System: ELS is Eidolic’s original innovation and intellectual property, the solution to a number of half-measures and unsuitable potential designs.  The standard Eidolic design is easy to assemble when secured with glue, but ELS offers an even easier and more secure method.  First, a pair of notches ensures that the contact piece aligns with the barrel’s logo perfectly, preventing the barrel from rotating after it is installed.  An expanding, locking ring and groove lets you simply push the barrel on until it clicks, indicating the barrel is now permanently locked onto the connector, so it is no longer mandatory to use glue to attach the barrel to the contact piece.  ELS is superior to a threaded connector, where the threads are so fine that it is easy to misalign the barrel & contact piece and strip the threads – this design is prone to failure.  ELS avoids the use of tiny set-screws which require that the screw holes be aligned, as well as the orienting and turning of a screw with every installation.  There is no easier solution to barrel retention than ELS.
The barrel will always click to the contact piece with very minimal force.  It is imperative that you do not have solder on the sides of the ground solder contact tabs.  If any excess solder is on the sides of the tabs, simply trim it off so that the sides look like those of a new plug.  Otherwise, it is impossible for the contact piece to mate to the barrel.  If you do not want to use the locking ring for whatever reason, simply rip it off with tweezers and glue the plug together as with conventional IEM plugs.

Improved dimensions and ease of assembly.  These connectors offer a little more space inside the barrel compared to other IEM connectors, allowing a variety of cables to fit and providing secure strain relief & protection of the solder joints inside.  Just solder the worry-free heat-resistant contacts, push on the barrel until it clicks, then fill with hot glue for strain relief.   The nonconductive, anodized aluminum barrel will not short the solder contacts in the event that it is in contact with wires or solder joints. There is no tapering on the 4.4mm rear hole to maximize the amount of glue (and wire) that can fit inside, for improved reliability.  We guarantee these IEM plugs are faster and less tedious to assemble than any previous connector.

Superior conductivity.  The materials we have chosen for the connectors’ center pin is both durable and highly conductive.  The specific choice – tellurium copper – is 93% as conductive as pure copper, while being a strong and machinable metal suitable for audio connectors, far exceeding the 20-30% conductivity rating of brass, steel, or bronze.  Eidolic goes beyond simply employing a TeCu center pin – the entire body of the contact (including the negative/ground contact) is tellurium copper – an industry first.  Years of titrating the exact right pin dimensions yields a pin that is neither too thick for brand new IEMs, nor too loose on older, more worn IEM sockets. 

Upgrade to titanium.  
Bringing the brilliant functionality of the Eidolic E-STB titanium modular barrels to the tiny scale of CIEM/MMCX, the E-STBC features a three piece titanium design that retains the click-lock functionality of the Premier Eidolic IEM series while allowing modular customization. The upper and lower parts of the barrel thread together, securing a contrasting high polish aluminum insert in place. The Eidolic logo is laser-engraved, the barrel is circular-polished, and the edges are chamfer polished. Complete the ultimate titanium cable with E-STBC and Eidolic’s matching slider, splitter, and amp-end barrels.
