Our verdict

A cable for someone who plays on TRN-Mars or other gaming headphones and wants a four-core oxygen-free copper and silver-plated design in 1.2M or 2M. Look elsewhere if you need a named connector or plug, since the listing text names none. The main caveat is that the page mixes cable text with in-ear design text, and its speed and noise claims are the maker's own and were not checked here.

Best for
Someone who wants a four-core esports cable in a 1.2M or 2M length for gaming headphones.
Skip if
You need a cable with a named connector or plug type, which the listing text does not give.

The RedChain plus is described on its page as a professional esports cable from TRN, with a four-core design that combines oxygen-free copper with a silver-plated cross-braided cable. The page describes using it together with TRN-Mars and other gaming headphones. It comes in 1.2M and 2M lengths, starting at $11.80, and the listing text names no connector or plug.

Options and pricing

There are two options by length: 1.2M at $11.80 and 2M at $14.80. The page writes the lengths in that form, so this review copies it rather than converting. The listing text does not say whether the connector or plug differs between the lengths, and it names neither, so the choice here is about length and price only.

How it compares

The TRN MT5 and the KZ EDX Pro X both start at $10.99, and the KZ Gale starts at $11.99, against the RedChain plus at $11.80. All four are filed under in-ear monitors, but this page describes an esports cable, and the sibling entries show no spec lines, so the data here does not allow a comparison of lengths, plugs or drivers.

Shipping

  • Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
  • Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
  • Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
  • Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
  • Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
  • Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
  • Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
  • Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.

Before you buy

Linsoul says it was founded in 2016 by the Crazy HiFi team to bring Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners worldwide, and that it now sells other makers' products alongside four brands of its own, THIEAUDIO, Kiwi Ears, ZiiGaat and Tripowin (checked 2026-11-11).

What we liked

  • The page describes a four-core design of oxygen-free copper with silver-plated cross-braided cable
  • Two lengths are offered, 1.2M and 2M, with a price for each
  • The page names TRN-Mars and other gaming headphones as products to use it with

Worth noting

  • The listing text names no connector type or plug, and the only pairing example is TRN-Mars
  • The page calls it an esports cable but also describes an in-ear design and ear fit, so its scope is unclear
  • The page's claims about speed, noise and sound effects are the maker's wording and cannot be checked from the listing

Questions before you buy

What is the RedChain plus?

The page calls it a professional esports cable with a four-core design that combines oxygen-free copper with a silver-plated cross-braided cable. It also contains text about an in-ear design, so its scope is not fully clear.

What lengths and prices are listed?

The page lists 1.2M at $11.80 and 2M at $14.80.

Which connector does it use?

The listing text names no connector or plug type, so this cannot be answered from the page.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

How long does shipping take?

The shipping page says in-stock orders ship within 3 working days. Standard Shipping takes about 2 weeks after shipping out, up to 1-3 months for some countries, and Express takes about 3-7 days. Standard is free for most countries; Express costs 15-50 USD and is free over 270 USD (over $499.99 for large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs).

Does Linsoul ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?

The page says Linsoul can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to ask the team about Standard for your country. It names no restriction for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, but it does not list them either, and it can only use Express to Hawaii.

What warranty does it have?

The page gives a 1-year warranty on products from the purchase date for factory defects, not for human error, accidents or modification. Coverage is limited for items 40% or more off retail and for review units, and it does not apply to items bought from other sellers.

What we couldn’t verify

  • Per the page, the listing text gives no connector type, plug type or conductor gauge, and it names TRN-Mars as the only pairing example.
  • The page calls it an esports cable but also describes an in-ear design and ear fit, and it does not say how the two relate.
  • The page's statements about ultra-fast transmission, resolution, distortion, noise and vibration effects are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
  • We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
  • The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
