Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this balanced headphone cable compatible with the Sennheiser HD599 and HD560S?
A: Yes! This 3.5mm to 4.4mm balanced cable is specifically designed to be compatible with the Sennheiser HD598, HD598SE, HD400Pro, HD560S, HD2.30, HD518, HD558, HD569, HD579, HD599, and several other Sennheiser headphone models that use a standard 3.5mm detachable connector.
Q: What type of amplifier or DAC do I need to use this balanced cable?
A: You will need a headphone amplifier or DAC/amp combo that features a 4.4mm Pentaconn balanced output. Many modern portable and desktop amplifiers include this output. This cable converts your headphones' standard 3.5mm connection to the 4.4mm balanced output for improved audio performance.
Q: What are the benefits of silver-plated oxygen-free copper wire in a headphone cable?
A: Oxygen-free copper (OFC) minimizes signal degradation over the cable's length, while the silver-plated coating improves high-frequency conductivity and protects against corrosion. Together, they deliver a cleaner, more detailed audio signal compared to standard copper cables.
Q: How long is this balanced headphone cable?
A: The cable is approximately 1.5 meters (about 4.9 feet) in total length, making it well-suited for desktop listening setups, home amplifiers, and studio-style use.
