FAAEAL Balanced Cable Replacement for Hifiman Sundara HE4XX,HE400SE,Meze 99 Classics,Denon AH-D7200 Headphones,4.4mm to Dual 3.5mm Works on Sony WM1A,NW-ZX505 Digital Music Players(4.4mm)

really light and non annoying cable. no noise from movement, no chunky split/divider thing. Not ugly or pretending to try too hard to look cool. Cable lays really nice and coils up neatly when not using the headphones.

My iBasso dap offers a balanced output which required me to purchase this cable for my HiFiMan Edition XS headphones. I believe there's at least some hype regarding how wire influences the sound we hear from our audio systems. Some balanced cables are many times more expensive. This <$18 cable definitely improved the sound. First of all, running balanced the headphones receive more power which made them louder at the same volume level. Secondly, the transients on Fleetwood Mac's "Never Going Home Again" are noticeably clearer. The two guitars are more clearly separated and the minor background vocals are, too. Yes, these are sourced from China so it took a month to get here...but it's definitely worth the wait.

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do and seems to be durable. There’s no way to know that for sure, however since I haven’t owned it that long at this point. But all indications are that it will hold up over time. I use this cable connected to HiFiMan Edition XS headphones and connected to a balanced 4.4mm headphone output. Balanced headphone output from the headphone amp makes quite a bit of difference in power, volume, and quality of sound.

No clipping! The cable is great quality and very easy to install 🫩 plus it’s pretty

I wish this was 2 feet longer. other then that its a decent balanced cable.

I ordered two different FAAEAL balanced headphone cables from Amazon because I didn't know the length of both of them. Turns out they were the same length (about 59 inches) and matched the length of my original Hifiman unbalanced cable, which is what I wanted. I tested the model with the silver colored plugs first since it better matched the color scheme of my headphones. However, the silver ones seemed duller, more laid back or recessed, than the black colored plugs that I am reviewing here. The black ones sound a touch brighter and detailed with more "life" in them with my ears and equipment. YMMV While I prefer the looks of the silver plugs, the sound performance clinched my decision to keep the black ones. Note that the black left phone connector includes a raised ring to easily discern left from right even in a dark environment. Also notice the pinouts differ between the two models. The silver phone jacks are 3.5mmTRS while the black phone jacks are 3.5mm TS. The silver "RS" contacts are shunted together at one end or the other, so they have the same circuitry as the black TS plugs. Both model's exterior cable diameters are the same, but I don't know if the actual wire gauge is different. Without those specs, I have no explanation why they sound different, but I certainly prefer the black over the silver with my equipment. Hope you find this helpful when you are looking for purchasing information.

I busted my old Hifiman Sundara cable by yanking on it too hard, this is working great as a replacement and feels better than the original cable. That might be preference on my part, because I like the cloth feel better than the rubber feel of the original. It fits well, and feels like decent quality.

I really wanted to like this product but one week later and left channel stopped working and clipping.. other original cable works flawless stillni really only give it two stars because of the bling factor over my standard og cable.. it looks and feels good wuality but didnt last for me..

Los tengo emparejados con un Hifiman Arya Organic porque mi amplificador de escritorio es únicamente compatible con salidas balanceadas XLR o de 4.4 mm Si bien el cable no tiene una presentación premium, en la que presume de materiales exclusivos o procesos de fabricación extraños, es sin duda una alternativa a buen precio que sin hacer ruido brinda exactamente lo que requieres La diferencia es notoria en el mismo DAP, cuando uso un cable no balanceado con mis audífonos, en comparación de hacerlo con el presente cable, así que le daré 5 estrellas Lo único que si quisiera enfatizar, es que al ser un material trenzado, el recubrimiento suele ensuciarse con facilidad, así que deben tomar lo en cuenta.

Perfect. I bought this balanced headphone cable for my recently acquired Fiio R2R DAC. This balanced cable worked excellent on the balanced headphone out of the DAC connected to my Sundara Closed Back headphone. It adds a more pleasant sound with excellent instrument separation and space. This cable combined with the R2R DAC on NOS settings gives my High Res music a Warm, Vinyl like sound when using the Sundara headphone. It's hard to imagine that a balanced cable can make such a Hughe difference. Highly recommended. Super fast shipping.

Excelente producto

Only left channel works and seems quieter. I also noticed that the sundara original cables are 2 pole while these are 1 on the male connector that plugs into the headphones, whether this makes a difference- not sure. Either way complete waste of money. Never worked out of the bag.
