Know before you buy
While this cable is specifically engineered for the Sennheiser HD 490 PRO, its dual Mini-XLR 4-pin connectors may physically fit other headphones that utilize the same connection standard. However, we recommend verifying your specific headphone's wiring configuration to ensure compatibility.
The double-shielded design significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which helps maintain a clean, noise-free signal path. This construction also increases the cable's overall tensile strength, making it more durable for daily use.
The combination of pure silver, silver-plated OCC, and silver-copper alloy conductors is designed to improve signal clarity and timbre. You can expect more refined detail in the high frequencies and a more controlled, impactful low-end response.
Yes, the 4.4mm balanced plug is designed for use with balanced outputs on portable DAPs, DACs, or desktop amplifiers. It will not work with standard 3.5mm single-ended headphone jacks without an appropriate adapter.
The cable features a professional-grade Mini-XLR 4-pin connector with a built-in latching mechanism. This ensures a secure, locking fit that prevents accidental disconnection during listening sessions.
