Know before you buy
The Ballista cable is precision-engineered for the Sennheiser HD700, as well as the Oppo PM-1 and PM-2 planar magnetic headphones.
This hybrid conductor design is intended to balance the warmth and body of copper with the high-frequency clarity and detail retrieval of silver. The result is a neutral, transparent sound profile that aims to reveal more texture in your music without introducing harshness.
By isolating each strand, the cable minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between conductors. This construction helps maintain signal purity, which is essential for preserving the wide soundstage and imaging capabilities of high-end headphones.
Yes, the cable is available with a variety of termination options, including 3.5mm, 6.3mm, 4-pin XLR, 2.5mm, and 4.4mm Pentaconn. This allows you to pair the cable directly with your specific desktop or portable audio setup.
The cable features a nylon-braided jacket designed to be durable and flexible. If you are particularly concerned about physical noise transfer, the non-microphonic black nylon sleeving option is specifically engineered to minimize friction-based sound.
You can customize your cable length anywhere from 0.5 meters up to 8 meters. This flexibility ensures you can have a shorter cable for portable use or a longer reach for a dedicated home listening station.
