Know before you buy
This cable is designed for headphones that utilize a locking 2.5mm TRRS input, specifically the Sennheiser HD 560s, HD 559, HD 599, HD 620s, HD 505, and the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x.
The mini-XLR termination is part of the Hart Audio Cables modular system. It allows you to quickly swap out the source-side connector—such as switching between 3.5mm, 6.35mm, or balanced XLR—without needing to replace the entire cable.
The cable itself is wired to support both balanced and unbalanced signals. Whether you achieve a balanced connection depends on the specific interconnect you attach to the mini-XLR end.
The nylon braiding adds a layer of physical durability and protection against fraying. It also helps reduce microphonics, which is the audible noise caused by the cable rubbing against your clothing while you move.
Yes, the 2.5mm TRRS connector features a locking mechanism specifically engineered to match the input port of the listed Sennheiser and Audio-Technica models, preventing accidental disconnects during use.
