This cable is designed for headphones that utilize dual Mini-XLR inputs on the earcups. Please verify that your headphone model features this specific dual-entry configuration before purchasing.
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) provides excellent conductivity, while the silver plating enhances high-frequency detail and clarity. This combination ensures a balanced, transparent signal path for your audio.
