I threw a set of those on my latest AliExpress order. Let's see if the wires are any better than the others.

They arrived today, and.... yep! They're definitely much better than the generic leads that look the same on Aliexpress.

Silicon/gold for sure.   :-+

I ordered those and the ones that have just arrived from Aneng official store  are not silicone. They have PVC marked on the cables.

Tend to use these very cheap-silicone'ish leads & probes from the Shenzhen flee market...
sometimes they are labeled Glegee or Hantek or..
Its these below, cost around 4 US delivered incl 25%. EU VAT.. -  its mainly because I like the open-end banana plugs, so I can attach needles, probes, or crocodile clips, -
the resistance was super good enough for my simple use-case.
The multimeters they are intended for are low cost-DMMs, but still, a step-up versus the cheap plastic leads/probes there normally is with budget meters, like below, that all are under 40 US.. my main priority is a banana interface, for the diversity of so many accessories, even very tiny SMD grippers with an adapter, or connect or stack with other test gear, prefer the flexibility.

This are the markings on the leads I received compared to the "generic seller" leads I bought last year:


The difference in flexibility, etc., is notable and the gold is a lot more golden on the Anengs.
