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)

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

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

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

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

The black and silver compliments the Ananda very well (much, much better than the tube stock cable thing), and it's the perfect length. It feels like a quality cable and the sound quality, particularly with the balanced power distribution, is very good. They are a lot cheaper than some other balanced cables I've looked at for the Ananda. I'd recommend them for anyone with a dual 3.5mm jack Hifiman headphone - especially if you have the Edition X, XX, XS or the Ananda since its black and silver color coordinates with those silver grills on the ear cups.

Absolutely horrible XLR 4-pin connector.Overly tight, very hard to insert and cant even tell if it is all the way in - there is no click indicator.The cable is extremely thin and flimsy looking with muffling effect on sound clarity.

My Sundara's cables were becoming to tangled up and squished together (per usual for these headphones) and I decided to find replacements. Seeing the listings outside of Amazon, the prices for replacements were daunting so I decided to purchase these to hopefully save myself money. The cables were as advertised, replacement cables. Through my eyes (or really ears), I thought these were going to sound no different from the ones included for the Hifiman Sundara. When I hooked these replacements in, I could already to tell something was off about them. All the sound coming out was more recessed than normal. I imagined that this was an anti-placebo and reattached the old cables to notice a difference, and there was. From bass to treble, there felt like small tuffs of cotton were filtering some of the frequencies from coming in. The soundstage was also effected by this. I'm a PC gamer and play quite of few fast pace FPS games that sometimes require soundstage to give you a heads-up in certain situations. Although Sundaras are not the most precise headphones for this, directional audio feels "compressed" by narrowing the soundstage just enough to feel out of place than usual (and yes I did look where to connect the Left and Right connectors).Overall, this difference was enough for me to be disappointed yet understand why these are cheaper than the more expensive replacement cables.TL;DRDon't buy these hoping for the same audio quality and soundstage that are similar to original Sundara cables.
