Know before you buy
This cable is custom-engineered for the Austrian Audio Hi-X65, Hi-X60, Hi-X55, Hi-X50, and Hi-X15 models. It features the specific proprietary locking connector required to secure the cable into these headphones.
Mogami Oxygen Free Copper is widely recognized in professional audio for its low capacitance and high signal integrity. Using this 26AWG wire ensures a clean, transparent signal path from your source to your headphones without adding coloration.
No, the cable is built with a slim, single-sleeve design specifically chosen for its flexibility. It is designed to lay flat on your desk or floor, which prevents the annoying tangles and memory-kinks common with stiffer stock cables.
The cable terminates in a standard 3.5mm jack, which is compatible with most portable devices and laptops. If you need to connect to professional studio equipment, you will need to use a 3.5mm to 6.35mm (1/4") adapter.
Every cable is handcrafted by Fog City Audio in San Francisco, California. This local assembly allows for strict quality control over the soldering and connector fitment.
