FAAEAL Replacement Cable for Hifiman SUNDARA Ananda,Upgrade Cable for Hifiman HE4XX/HE-400i/HE560/HE-350/HE1000 Headphones 2.5mm/3.5mm/4.4mm to Dual 3.5mm Jack Male Cord 1.45meters/4.7ft (4.4mm Jack)

I'm one of those types that likes to tease people that think they can hear the difference between a cable but dang it, I heard a difference with this new cable on my sundaras. I would definitely suggest a balanced cable. The sound is punchier a little more clear and definitely feels much wider and expansive. I assume this is because of the very Crystal Clear Channel separation. I never thought this would make it sound better but it's definitely a difference over the stock cable and for the price it's still worth the upgrade because of the nice soft cable. I probably would have preferred a little bit more length like a foot and it would have been nice if they color coded the plug but whatever. I guess once it's in it's in. And I will tell you one thing, I'm definitely not going to start auditioning different cables. I'm done. I'm not interested in measuring nanofractions of clarity :P

Very flexible and sturdy. I like the texture compared to the braided, plastic cables I have for other headphones.

I use these for my hifiman sundara headphones. The sound quality is perfectly fine, probably as good as the stock cable - I think it's probably difficult to make a bad cable from a performance perspective. The sleeving and components of the cables at all three jacks seems okay, not amazing or super premium. I'm happy with the length of the cable for my purposes.

Works great

I kept reading balanced cables are the way to go I was curious so got this and my gosh they made a huge difference. My sundara went from sounding decent good to sounding way more detailed and textured and highlights the headphones more. Cymbals sound way more textured and I notice a lot of small ambient sounds and tiny sounds more like clapping and sounds of breathing or whisper or even sounds of the imperfections of recording. I don't ever see myself not using balanced!! All my amps now must have a balanced input.

4.4mm works and sounds just fine, the braid is solid and sleeve feels good. Only issue is the connector is slightly bent, so the plug doesn’t sit flush. Doesn’t affect sound and at this price you shouldn’t expect perfection- but it’s worth mentioning

The stock cable broke on me a few months after I got my Sundara's. I looked at many cables on amazon, this one by far peeked my interest because of the braided cord and the tactile feel of the cable is pleasant if that's something you look for. I have had it for about 3 months now and the quality is just by far better.10/10 would recommend

For the 2.5mm balanced -> 3.5mm L/R version of this product, the L and R markings are swapped. For a solid 2 weeks, I was left wondering why I kept hearing positions of sounds in games flipped 180 degrees. After playing with the L/R sliders in the mixer app, I figured out why.Simply switching the headphone side the plugs connect to fixes this issue, as another reviewer mentions. No issues after. Docking a star for this very confusing fault. Because one day, I'll forget about the mislabeled plugs, and put it back to the way it's labeled, then be confused why everything sounds weird.While not my favorite material or feel of cabling, it's certainly a huge improvement to the included cables for the HiFiMan Sundaras. Those things are thick, annoying, and painful to deal with. There's minimal microphonics in the cabling, and I can look left and right in a 120-degree cone without hearing the cable rubbing against my clothes. I haven't noticed any changes in audio quality.Overally, I'm happy with it for the price, and will recommend it to anyone looking for budget cables for Sundaras.
