4 Pin XLR to Dual 3.5mm Male Version

I have a few pairs of HiFiMan headphones (HE4XX and a pair of Ananda's) and a balanced HiFiMan DAC/Headphone Amp....so I needed a balanced cable to work with this setup, not wanting to spend over $100+ for a cable to see if the headphones performed better with a balanced cable, I gave this one a shot, and to my surprise it has been working wonderfully. There might be better cables available, but for this price and the quality, I will never know for sure, I will be keeping this cable as it sounds great, has a nice build quality and doesn't add any colorization that I can tell to the music...this is a keeper.

Does its job well. Cable is nice and pliable. Connecters snap into place well. Does not feel cheap.

I got this as an upgrade to the unbalanced standard 1/4" cable that came with my DMS Omega. Nothing against that cable, as it's very nice, but my amp puts out 3x the power over XLR.Holy crap, do these cans shine with this cable. I know I could have spent 3-10x the money, but there's really no need. Very satisfied. The cable comes in a nice box, with a power, and a nice (faux?) leather clasp. Highly recommended for the money.

Fantastic cable for the price point. very well made and nice packaging, includes a real leather pouch. Sound comparison with stock headphone cables was full, with bottom end clear and precise. Worked great with Focal, but took off one star for not fitting Beyerdynamic. I still strongly recommend, but check fitment first.

I have a few different balanced cables. Ranging in price from $50 to $100. When I first saw the price on this I was a bit skeptical. But wow it is a great solid cable. Not stiff. No microphonics when it rubs against your shirt or desk. And works great. It is just as good as any cable I own. And better than some. I paid almost double this for a fantasia cable that is stiff and is crazy with the microphonics when the cable rubs. That cable sits on the floor of my closet. It will never be used again.This cable works with both hifiman and focal headphones. I have used it on both

Hard to beat for the price. Build quality is very good. The XLR is also better than the stock non XLR cable that came with headphone. Using it on my desktop setup. Cannot wait to use it with my reference system.It is a step up from the stock cable which most stock cables are meant to be replaced.

When I am this impressed I have to write a review, especially at this price NOTHING comes close. Amazing cable and great upgrade for my Massdrop Hifiman HE-4XX cans. (balanced made a huge different in sound for me, singled ended for me was 2 watts and now I am feeding them 6 watts) First thing to mention is ZERO microphonics (sound from rubbing on your clothes or something like that). The braid is tight and feels great and cable is the perfect length at just a bit over 5 feet.Packaging was impressive too. Came not only in a little clear plastic container but also in a nice little pouch and the cable was bound with a little leather wrap with a button. All the connectors came with a little baggie over them to prevent them from rubbing/scratching/etc while being shipped. The left 3.5mm connector is denoted by the little black rubber bit behind the connector and the right is clear.Look no further this is the cable you need! (assuming it's compatible with whatever you are going to use it with)

Because your HIFIMANs deserve a proper meal, not microwave noodles.---📦 Specs That Actually MatterConnection A: 4-pin XLR (male, for balanced output)Connection B: Dual 3.5mm (compatible with HIFIMAN HE4XX, HE400i, Sundara, etc.)Length: ~1.5 meters (~5 ft)Cable Type: 8-core, silver-plated OFC copperConstruction: Braided, semi-flexibleColor: Transparent jacket with bronze/copper shimmerCompatibility: Works with any HIFIMAN dual 3.5mm headphones (check your model)---🎧 Subjective Impressions – The “Oh Wow” UpgradeLet’s be honest: most stock HIFIMAN cables feel like they were added as an afterthought.Flimsy, stiff, tangle-prone… aka the spaghetti special.So I picked up this Youkamoo 4-pin XLR cable expecting a minor quality-of-life bump.What I got?A legit performance and aesthetic upgrade that made me double-check the price like,“Wait, this didn’t cost $100?”🪢 Build Quality:The braid feels tight but smooth—not the stiff type that coils up like a snake on Red Bull.The bronze/copper shimmer actually looks premium, and fits right in with a clean desktop setup.XLR connector is solid metal, with no play or wobble.Ear-side connectors fit snug, no loose clicks or static.
