Silver Dragon Sennheiser Headphone Cable Version 2  (For New HD800 pics go Here)

This is the new Version 2 Silver Dragon Headphone cable for Sennheiser HD-800 , HD-650 , HD-600 and HD-580 headphones and any other Sennheiser headphones that have the 2 pin connection system. We also use it for the Sony Qualia, AKG Pro Series and any other headphone that uses a connector attachment System. This cable can also be hard wired to Grado's, AKG, Audio Technica etc etc...

 

The cable uses a 4 x 99.998% Ultra Pure Silver 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors.

 

Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry. The silver stranding is mixed with Kevlar stranding to reinforce the conductor. Making it stronger overall and less prone to failure due to the harsh constant flexing a headphone cable receives.

 

The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and then a layer of Teflon tape.

 

The new version is now also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.

 

The Version 2 is quieter than the Version 1 with no micro phonics.

 

The pin connectors are soldered to the conductors and then molded to the cable. The splicing method used by other cable companies using a stock Sennheiser cable's connectors is a poor method. And defeats the purpose of replacing the cable. That method requires you to once more send the signal through the poor quality conductors in the stock Sennheiser cable as well as through one more solder joint. Moon Audio, Cardas and Zu are the only three cable companies I am aware of that use a preferred method of headphone connection method

 

The version 2 is more flexible than Version 1 and can be easily coiled up.

 

The wire is soldered to the connector of your choice with Cardas silver solder. The default 1/4" Plug is the Furutech FP-704(G). The default 1/8" plug is a Neutrik NYS231B. And the default XLR is the Black Neutrik NC3. The wire is then covered in 1 layers of  Techflex braid. 

 

The detail and speed of this cable is truly amazing in the midrange and high frequencies. It will shock you how much of a difference it will make over the stock cable. And will remove the veil all Sennheiser headphones seem to have.

 

If you listen to Jazz, Blues, Classical, Acoustical or any very detail orientated styles of music, then this is the cable for you.

 

As with all our stuff I offer a 30day money  back guarantee. I recommend a 100hr break-in time, as silver takes longer to break in, but straight out of the box you will be amazed. A good place to look at reviews of the Silver & Blue Dragon Head Phone Replacement Cables is at the Head-Fi forum. Here is a link to one of the many reviews.

Blue Dragon Sennheiser Headphone Cable Version 3 (For New HD800 pics go Here)

This is the new Blue Dragon Headphone Version 3 headphone replacement cable for Sennheiser hD-800 ,HD-650 , HD-600 and HD-580 headphones and any other Sennheiser headphones that have the 2 pin connection system. We also use it for the Ultrasone, Sony Qualia, AKG Pro Series and any other headphone that uses a connector attachment System. This cable can also be hard wired to Grado's, AKG, Audio Technica etc etc...

 

This cable been designed to match the Silver Dragon Headphone cable but with a high purity copper conductor using the Ohno Continuous Casting Process. It has the same geometry structure as the Silver Dragon Version 2 only it uses UP-OCC pure copper.
 
The cable uses a 4 x 24AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors using pure single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper with 7N purity 99.99998%.

 

 

Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry. The copper stranding is mixed with Kevlar stranding to reinforce the conductor. Making it stronger overall and less prone to failure due to the harsh constant flexing a headphone cable receives.

 

The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and then a layer of Teflon tape.

 

The new version is now also shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.

 

The Version 3 is quieter than the Version 2 with no micro phonics.

 

The pin connectors are soldered to the conductors and then molded to the cable. The splicing method used by other cable companies using a stock Sennheiser cable's connectors is a poor method. And defeats the purpose of replacing the cable. That method requires you to once more send the signal through the poor quality conductors in the stock Sennheiser cable as well as through one more solder joint. Moon Audio, Cardas and Zu are the only three cable companies I am aware of that use a preferred method of headphone connection method

 

 

The wire is soldered to the connector with Cardas silver solder. The default 1/4" Plug is the Furutech FP-704(G). The default 1/8" plug is a Neutrik NYS231B. And the default XLR is the Black Neutrik NC3. The wire is then covered in 1 layer of  black Techflex braid. The black over blue jacket give it a dark blue color.

 

The cable is extremely smooth sounding with great low end and wonderful voicing. And will remove the veil all Sennheiser headphones just like the Silver Dragon. Most stock headphone cables are made of poor ultra thin conductors that work as a bottle neck for the sound.

 

If you listen to Rock, Alternative, Rap or Techno etc, then this is the cable for you.

 

As with all our stuff, we offer a 30day money  back guarantee. We recommend a 40hr break-in time, but straight out of the box you will be amazed. A good place to look at reviews of the Silver & Blue Dragon Head Phone Replacement Cables is at the Head-Fi forum. Here is a link to our reviews.

Black Dragon Headphone Cable

This is the Black Dragon Headphone Version 1 headphone replacement cable is our premiere hard wiring cable. This cable can hard wired to just about any headphone such as Grado's, AKG, Audio Technica etc etc...It is a wonderful match for the Grado GS-1000 and AKG k701. The Sennheiser version is also available again. As well we can create a version for your AKG Studio line with the Mini XLR from switchcraft

 

The cable uses a 4  99.999% pure Copper Litz 21.5 AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors.

 

Each conductor is made up of a special varying size stranding geometry.

 

The conductors are braided into a special Geometry.

 

This Cable is unshielded. A shield is not necessary based on the geometry we have developed..

 

For the Sennheiser version the pin connectors are soldered directly to the conductors of the cable. The splicing method used by other cable companies using a stock Sennheiser cable's connectors is a poor method. And defeats the purpose of replacing the cable. That method requires you to once more send the signal through the poor quality conductors in the stock Sennheiser cable as well as through one more solder joint. Moon Audio, Cardas and Zu are the only three cable companies I am aware of that use a preferred method of headphone connection method

 

 

The wire is soldered to the connector with Cardas silver solder. The default 1/4" Plug is the Furutech FP-704(G). The default 1/8" plug is a Neutrik NYS231B. And the default XLR is the Black Neutrik NC3. The wire is then covered in 2 layers of  Techflex braid. 

 

The cable is extremely smooth sounding with great low end and wonderful voicing. And will remove the veil all Sennheiser headphones just like the Silver Dragon. Most stock headphone cables are made of poor ultra thin conductors that work as a bottle neck for the sound.

 

If you listen to any type of music then this is the cable will suit your needs. It is a little more rounded than the Blue Dragon.

 

As with all our stuff we offer a 30day money back guarantee. we recommend a 100hr break-in time, as silver takes longer to break in, but straight out of the box you will be amazed.
