Replacement Audio Upgrade Cable Compatible with Hifiman Sundara, Ananda, Arya, HE400SE, Edition XS, HE4XX Headphones 3.5mm/6.35mm to Dual 3.5mm end 1.2m/4ft

One of the best upgrades we can do as audio enthusiasts, audiophiles, etc. is to simply upgrade the cable. That is the case here for me with my Drop Hifiman HE-400XX planers. The imaging from planar magnetic headphones is something everyone should experience at some point in their life. Its a very moving, moody, accurate sound leaning slightly on the warm side. Ive never heard miss reproduced like planar magnetics are capable of. I can literally drift off in to the music experiencing very little note and nuance the composer intended. Fascinating in a way that make them truly incomparable to anything close. Yes of course there are various grades of headphones with varying price points as well. The concept however, is the same. Planar magnetic drivers mix some of the operating principles between dynamic and electrostatic drivers. In a planar magnetic setup, the part that actually creates sound is an electrostatic-style thin, flexible material sandwiched between the outer layers of the mechanism. But like a dynamic driver, that diaphragm contains extremely thin wires with electrical current flowing through it, which regulates its back-and-forth vibration. On to the NEO MUSICA upgrade cable...its a real winner. The material is perfect, the leads are very well produced providing an even better sound than the stock cable. In order to notice this however, you will have to lived with the stock cable for a while so you can draw the comparison. Everything is just so much more "alive" is how I would put it. The details are not so that it does not work hi or low, it just works better. The sound is more engaging and coherent leading to a dramatic listen no matter what the content. In its simplest terms, hi-res audio tends to refer to music files that have a higher sampling frequency and/or bit depth than CD, which is specified at 16-bit/44.1kHz. Sampling frequency (or sample rate) refers to the number of times samples of the signal are taken per second during the analogue-to-digital conversion process. The more bits there are, the more accurately the signal can be measured in the first instance, so going 16bit to 24bit can deliver a noticeable leap in quality. Hi-res audio files usually use a sampling frequency of 96kHz or 192kHz at 24bit. You can also have 88.2kHz and 176.4kHz files too. I just love getting lost in the whole of it. My mind is peaceful. There is also a certain peacefulness in knowing you are not literally missing a beat! This cable provides sonic bliss for those looking to achieve that. For others, there may be no justification in a "better" cable. Like I mentioned earlier, to really appreciate the sonic qualities living with the stock cable for at lease 3 to 6 months is best. It is then that you can draw your own comparisons between the two. Enjoy!

This ones are good, but beware of not pulling the cable to hard

Cheap build quality, comically short and nothing is particularly remarkable. HOWEVER for the price this cable gets the job done on my HE-400is. Cat trashed the og cable so I bought this cheaper one for the time being, thus far I'm satisfied and use it every single day without fail as my daily driver.

The cables works great after my cat chewed through the original. No sound quality issues. Cord length is a little short, but I like that -- it's not getting tangled up anywhere, with longer cords in the past I've had to wrap them up. My only 'complaint' is very minor: the cable is made out of two different materials. The part that connects to my DAC is a standard plastic feel while the chunk that plugs into my headphones are a more premium-feeling sleeved cable. This isn't really a problem but it strikes me as a little strange.

Decent quality and performance - no complaints. The option to use the 3.5mm or the standard size jack is useful.

i barely used these, ive had for 5 years, but barely touched these for sundara hifiman headphones. I have to wiggle around the neck of the 3.5 mm jack to get one of the earpads to work. I wish i returned these originally and just kept the original wires. These were suggested as more durable and better for the drivers of these headphones. Will never buy again, stopped working with little use.

I'm glad we're past the days when people thought they needed fancy cables to drive their equipment. So many folks got suckered into buying expensive cables that sounded exactly the same as inexpensive cables. Now we know better. As long as the cable isn't a total piece of garbage (bad connections) it will sound fine. It's all about the feel and functionality. I am a big fan of Neomusica cables. Their connections are solid and reinforced. They're wrapped in a braided string kind of wrapping that keeps them where you put them and keeps them from twisting up on you. And they seemingly make them for every make model and brand of headphone, which is great, because I'm also a headphone fan. Neomusica hits the sweet spot by making a high quality feeling product with nice fit and finish that doesn't break the bank. I will keep going back to them over and over again because of it.

About the seller: Hoo sweet, that was fast! A++ and thank you! About the product: I have a Symphonic Wrath 2.0 that I got for cheap. Sure enough like others who own a Symphonic the cable broke and a replacement cable costs more than the headset itself. Since I didn't need the tiny microphone dongle I went with this item. It has clear labels for left and right ear (L and R), the main cable is short but braided (I like that, because I already have a 3.5mm extender because there's no way any headphone cable is going to reach behind the computer) and the top of the Y split the earbud cables are coated in rubber. It also came with a 3.5mm to 6.5mm adapter, and though that's nice I already have a million of them via guitar accessories. Obviously don't believe these reviews, but I'm happy enough to find a replacement cable and have it delivered so quickly I figured I should write one to show my appreciation. Thank you!

Fantastic cable. Very low capacitance. Sturdy and durable build quality.

Good quailty braided cable. Would have preffered 1.5m or similar for this price, but is ok.

Great cable, significantly better than the stock hifiman cable that came with mt sundara headphones. Durable and lays flat and the connections seem solid. Excellent value.

Good cable that functions as advertised. Length is a little shorter than my stock sundara cables but the braiding is a welcome improvement to ruggedness. Sound quality is as good as base cables but the value for money is average as stock replacements are under 2000.

Had to replace my expensive supposedly heavy duty Periapt cables that broke down. So far i don't see any issue outside of the lenght which is a bit shorter than i expected. 1ft more would have been ideal but oh well. They sound great, the connectors aren't lose and the there is a stress relief spring on them.
