FiiO LT-TC1 Type C to Type C Cable Review

FiiO's LT-TC1 is a Type C to Type C audio data cable, listed at $17.99 in a single length option. Per the page text, the cable length is 12CM(excluding plug), the core is pure copper inside a sheath the page calls thin yet tough and fireproof, and the TypeC plugs are straight and made of aluminum alloy. The page describes two uses, charging and data exchange or USB DAC use, each with the B plug going to a FiiO device.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Length is the only option field, with one value: 0.5m or under at $17.99, orderable when the page was read. The page text separately gives Cable Length: 12CM(excluding plug) and does not say how that figure relates to the option name. The pictures read for this review are product photos and renders of a black braided cable with a plug at each end, without specification text.

How it compares

The LT-TC1 has Type C plugs at both ends, where the SKW AUX 3.5mm Jack Cable Male To Male is a 3.5mm male-to-male cable by its name and starts from $20.99. The FiiO IMP XLR-4 Balanced Headphone Amplifier Impedance Adapter costs $39.99 and, per its spec line, has 4.4mm and 4-pin XLR balanced dual output ports. At $17.99, the LT-TC1 suits a Type C link to a FiiO device the page names; the other two suit 3.5mm or balanced connections, as their names and spec line state.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

Cables and adapters get three months of warranty from the order date, against one year for DACs, amps and IEMs; a note on the same page also excludes cables from returns for hygiene reasons, while the FAQ says a cable can come back in its original condition. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement and the buyer pays the shipping. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone.

FiiO's own notice "A letter to FiiO fans" (undated) lists HiFiGo among sellers it has not authorized and recommends buying FiiO products from local agents. FiiO says it still services genuine products bought from such sellers if the buyer emails [email protected], but the buyer pays the freight and duties if a unit must go back to China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
