GUCraftsman 6N Single Crystal Silver Upgrade Cable 2.5mm/4.4mm Balanec Headphone Upgrade Cables for Beyerdynamic T1 2nd T5P 2nd T5P 3nd Final d8000Pro Denon AH-D5200 AH-D7200 AH-D9200 (4.4mm Plug)

This cable is really good. Like, not from a sound quality perspective, I mean I'm sure it makes no difference vs any other balanced cable, but just in terms of appearance, quality of material, tactile feel of the connectors, etc. Brings me a little joy to use it every time. My family knows I'm a cable fanatic. After having been swindled out of $700 for a single pair of balanced XLR connectors one time decades ago I said I'd never do that again. But this level of premium is less than that, and paying respect to the headphones, and less than the cost of the units I'm plugging it into. It's fine, like a necklace in a way, and could easily be mistaken for one.

I began with Focal stock cables. They felt stiff and janky. That led me to buy a set of after-market cables. Decent pair. OFC and much more flexible. But they sounded the same as the stock cables and costed around 80 USD. No one wants to pay more for the same performance.Regarding cables, there is lots of conflicting information online. Notably, some professionals tested measurements and found no difference between cheap and expensive cables. Others seemed to swear cables do make a noticeable difference. I leaned toward the former camp, although I never tested anything myself. But I also kept an open mind. I bought these GUCraftsman cables to resolve the matter for myself. Was it all snake oil? Do they make a difference?They do. The resolution on the highs is magnificent. Hi-hats and chimes absolutely pop. I began noticing little details I missed before, such as the hi-hat in Aja by Steely Dan from 1:04 to 1:09. The lows are full and expansive. Dialogue (Pt. I) by Chicago with its bass solos, baritone + tenor vocals, complex percussion, and horn arrangements was one of the songs where I could tell the difference most easily, subjectively.I was a skeptical man. But give these a shot, especially if you have a sufficiently resolving pair of headphones. See for yourself. Amazon does have a nice return policy if these cables don't deliver.

Fits the new generation of the T1 just fine.Very high quality cable; soft and supple with no discernible microphonics.I chose the 4.4mm TRRRS connector to get all the power that's available out of my ifi DACs.No perceptible loss or gain in sound quality for me, however. I'm okay with that. :-)

Just got this one to replace the original cable of Beyerdynamic T5 3rd gen (which broke within 4 months). Compared with the original cable, the improvement in sound quality is significant - wider soundstage, much better clarity, more punchy and tighter bass. Absolutely loving it. Way to go, Master Gu!

Get yourself a little protector of some sort, top quality.
