What customers say
Owners overwhelmingly praise the Meze Empyrean Furukawa SPC Upgrade Cable for its exceptional build quality and superior handling compared to the stock option. The core focus is sonic refinement. Listeners report subtle but meaningful improvements, noting enhanced clarity in the upper midrange and better instrument separation, creating a more expansive soundstage. The Silver Plated Copper composition tightens the bass response, resulting in a more articulate low end.

Know before you buy
The Furukawa silver-plated copper construction is designed to provide a more resolute and detailed sound. You will likely notice tighter, more controlled bass and improved transient response, resulting in a more cohesive and organic presentation.
This cable is specifically engineered for the Meze Empyrean and utilizes 4-pin mini-XLR connectors at the headphone end. While it may physically fit other headphones using the same termination, it is optimized for the electrical characteristics of the Empyrean.
The Furukawa PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Draw) copper features an ultra-low oxygen content, which minimizes signal degradation. The silver plating enhances high-frequency clarity, providing a more lifelike scope to your music.
The cable features a continuous braided construction and is finished with a durable USA-made TPE outer sleeve. It is built to withstand regular handling while maintaining flexibility and preventing tangles.
The cable is hand-soldered using Jensen 4% silver alloy. This ensures a high-conductivity connection point that prevents signal loss at the joints, maintaining the integrity of the audio signal from the source to your headphones.
Choose the termination that matches your amplifier's output. If you are using a balanced amplifier, select the 2.5mm, 4.4mm, or 4-pin XLR option; if you are using a standard single-ended amplifier, the 6.3mm (1/4 inch) option is the correct choice.
