Know before you buy
This cable is specifically designed for the Sennheiser HD 800 series, including the HD 800, HD 800 S, HD 820, and the HD 8XX.
Yes, the standard 3.5mm TRS version includes a screw-on 1/4" adapter, allowing you to easily connect to professional desktop amplifiers and audio interfaces.
The USB-C version features an integrated ALC5686 Realtek DAC chip, which allows you to connect your Sennheiser headphones directly to devices lacking a dedicated headphone jack, such as modern smartphones or laptops.
No, the RPL-HC-13 is a non-modular, fixed-length cable. It is designed for users who prefer a straightforward, single-piece connection without the need for interconnects.
Mogami oxygen-free copper is widely regarded for its high conductivity and low signal loss, which helps preserve the clarity and detail of your audio signal from the source to your headphones.
Choose the balanced option (4-pin XLR or 4.4mm TRRRS) if your amplifier supports balanced output, as this can provide better channel separation and power. If you are using a standard consumer device or a basic amplifier, the 3.5mm TRS termination is the appropriate choice.
