What it is
A replacement and upgrade cable for full-size headphones whose earcups each take a 3.5 mm mono plug — a layout common on open-back and planar headphones. The four braided strands keep left and right signals and their returns separate all the way to the source plug, which makes balanced versions possible. Choose a 3.5 mm single-ended plug, a 4.4 mm balanced plug or a 4-pin XLR balanced plug, in 1.5 m, 2 m or 3 m lengths, with a metal splitter and chin slider.
Who it's for
- Headphone brands that want a balanced upgrade cable as an accessory.
- Hi-Fi retailers who need cables for headphones with dual 3.5 mm earcup sockets.
- Desktop audio brands bundling a cable with an amplifier.

FAQ
Will this cable fit my headphones?
It fits full-size headphones that take a separate 3.5 mm mono plug in each earcup. Our standard earcup plugs are 2-pole (TS), the usual layout for dual 3.5 mm earcup sockets. Some headphones expect a 3-pole plug or have recessed sockets; check your headphone's socket, and we can make a 3-pole version wired to its pin map, or slimmer housings, to order.
Which source plug should I choose?
Choose 3.5 mm for most players, laptops and audio interfaces with a standard headphone jack. Choose 4.4 mm or 4-pin XLR only if your amplifier has a matching balanced headphone output.
Is a 1/4" adapter included with the 3.5 mm version?
Not in the standard pack. A 3.5 mm to 1/4" (6.35 mm) adapter can be added to the 3.5 mm version as a packaging option.
