Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for the Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 headphones. It features the correct proprietary connectors to ensure a secure fit and optimal signal transfer for these models.
Matched Propagation is a proprietary Cardas design that synchronizes the speed of the signal through the conductor with the speed of the dielectric. This prevents signal smearing and jitter, resulting in a cleaner, more precise soundstage and improved transient response.
Unlike standard cables, this model uses concentric conductors with individually coated strands and a custom-machined Delron splitter. These elements work together to minimize electromagnetic interference and mechanical resonance, which are common sources of signal distortion.
The cable is finished with a black-and-white fabric braid over an Alcryn jacket, which provides a balance of flexibility and durability. While it is more robust than a thin stock cable, it is designed to drape naturally without excessive stiffness or tangling.
The amplifier end is terminated with a high-quality Cardas stereo 1/4" (6.35mm) male plug. This ensures a reliable, low-resistance connection to most dedicated headphone amplifiers and home audio equipment.
