Know before you buy
The Soria cable is designed for headphones that utilize dual Mini-XLR inputs. It is compatible with many high-end models from brands like Audeze, Meze, Sennheiser, and ZMF, but you should verify that your specific headphone model uses this dual-entry configuration before purchasing.
The 8-core Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) silver construction is designed to minimize signal loss and interference. This helps ensure a cleaner, more precise audio signal reaches your headphones compared to standard stock cables.
At 1.5 meters, this cable is versatile enough for both desktop setups and casual listening. It provides enough slack to move comfortably at a desk without being so long that it becomes cumbersome for portable use.
The PVC jacket is chosen for its durability and protection of the internal wiring. While it provides a robust feel, the cable remains flexible enough for daily use and is designed to resist the common tangling issues found in thinner, lower-quality cables.
The cable terminates in a standard 3.5mm plug. If your amplifier or audio interface uses a 6.35mm jack, you will need a 3.5mm-to-6.35mm adapter to connect it.
