NEOMUSICIA Replacement Cable For Hifiman HE400S / HE-400I / HE560 / HE-350 / HE1000 / HE1000 V2 headphone 3.5mm male & 6.35mm adapter to 2x 2.5mm Jack Male Audio HIFI cord Black 3m/9ft

Great braided quality headphone cable that is a great replacement for my damaged HE400s although a bit expensive but worth the cost.

I bought this cable because the one that came with my HE 400-i was a bit too short. Like the description says, this cable is braided for the most part, but the part where it forks up to the left and right connectors is made out of a rubbery like material which is a nice touch. The quality of the materials and overall build is nice. The braided material means no tangling mess and the connection to the headphone themselves is solid. There were a few accidentals moments where I pulled one of the cables out of the headphone, but I’d rather have the cable come off then possibly get damaged. For a replacement cable, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but it’s well worth the investment if you’ve already spent money on your Hifiman headphones.

These are a very decent mid-range cable, and work quite well in my dedicated headphone setup - the 9' length is useful, but the 4' version is too short to use if you're working a board or moving around a workstation, but ideal if you want to kick back in your recliner and bliss out. My only complaint is with Hifimans' choice of 2.5mm headphone connectors, the blessed things can snap off right at the headphone - then you've got to disassemble the can and remove the broken off piece before using the phones again. The 2.5mm plugs on these cables seem adequate, but think twice before using an under desk hanger, because the 4' cable is short enough to leave the headphones dangling if they're dislodged. Ask our cats how <much> fun this is... The good news is that neither cable has much of a sonic signature - they both preserve the Hifimans' lucid midrange and bass impact, and I don't hear any significant effects on the high end - but younger folks might. These cables are inexpensive and useful replacements for the 2.5mm cables you just broke and perform at least as well, if not better than the OEM cables.

I didn’t expect much, to be honest. Twenty dollar cable for couple hundred dollar headphones. Enough said right? WRONG! Quality plugs, the 1/4” threads on to the 3.5mm, spring on the cable side, nice nylon braid, and extra length I wanted. Couldn’t ask for a single additional thing at this price point. The split on the factory cable kept getting caught on things and started dropping out on one of the cups. This cable sounds as good or better than that one. Glad I got to save my favorite cans for such a nice price. Hifiman 4xx, bravo v2, schiit DAC.

Cable sounded fine while it lasted. I bought it to replace a flaky cable on my Hifiman HE-560s. This cable did the same thing in less than 90 days. The OEM cable made it a couple of years at least before it failed. I wear my headphones almost every day for about an hour or two each day sitting at a desk at my computer. There is minimal stress on the cable and they simply didn't last. These started getting flaky around day 75, I gave it two weeks and ordered a different cable that hopefully lasts longer than this one. Thought it was my headphones since wiggling the cable would usually bring back the signal, but confirmed it was the cable when I swapped it and the issue switched sides.
