Know before you buy
Matched Propagation conductors are designed to minimize dielectric interference and signal propagation issues. This results in a cleaner, more transparent sound that allows you to hear more detail and clarity from your headphones.
By using separate cables for the left and right channels, the design reduces crosstalk and interference between the signals. This helps maintain better channel separation and overall signal integrity.
No, this extension cable is specifically terminated with a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) male plug on one end and a 1/4-inch female jack on the other. You would need an adapter if your headphones or source equipment use a 3.5mm connection.
The cable features an Alcryn jacket covered by a fabric braid, which provides a good balance of durability and flexibility. It is designed to be manageable and resistant to tangling while remaining robust enough for long-term use.
This cable is 1.5 meters (approximately 4.9 feet) long, making it ideal for desktop listening setups where you need a bit more reach from your amplifier.
