In appearance the cord looks the same. I have no idea about the welds. Now, in favor of the CS02, I find that the plug (3.5mm audio/2.5mm/4.4mm balanced) is made of rhodium-plated material. The latter can make a difference. 😉

You already know that I am a very proud user for enjoying this magnificent IEM, it is now my turn to say with these words that I absolutely agree with your description based on your vivid experience. The cable that accompanies the kit is the S4; and yes, they make a good marriage, but still and...
