About Full-Size Headphone Cables

Full-size headphone cables connect over-ear and on-ear headphones with detachable cables to a player, DAC, or headphone amplifier. The stock design has a 3.5 mm mono plug for each earcup and ends in a 3.5 mm TRS plug, a 4.4 mm 5-pole balanced plug, or a 4-pin XLR male balanced plug. The typical build is a 4-strand braid that keeps left and right signals and their returns separate. Strands are oxygen-free copper (OFC), about 24 AWG each, with PVC insulation; plugs have gold-plated contacts, and a metal splitter and chin slider are fitted. Lengths are 1.5 m, 2 m, and 3 m.
