Black Dragon Cable for Ultrasone Headphones
$460.00 USDBlack Dragon Cable for Ultrasone Headphones
Upgrade your Ultrasone headphones with a Black Dragon Cable V2. The Black Dragon falls on the warm end of neutral, lending fullness and body to your headphones without making them sound laid back or lush. It will smooth out the top end while adding bottom-end weight and making the midrange sound more musical. It's a great cable for vocals and a range of music genres, particularly Rock and Roll, Electronica, R&B, and Pop.
The Black Dragon uses 4 x 21.5AWG Teflon-insulated stranded conductors using pure single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper with 7N purity 99.99998% that enhances depth and definition and smooths out the top end without sacrificing detail. Get ready for a truly immersive listening experience that will make you fall in love with your headphones all over again!
Compatible with Ultrasone Pro 2900, Pro 900, Pro 750, Pro 550, HFI2400, and HFI2200.
NOTE: This cable does not plug into the original Edition 8 headphones. Edition 8 must be hacked by hardwiring the upgrade cable to the drivers. We also make a Black Dragon Ultrasone Pro headphone cable for the Ultrasone Pro Series.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors with poor geometries, rubber jackets, and other issues that can limit the performance of your equipment.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon is warm and smooth with a musical presentation. Copper strands enhance the body, shape, and immediacy of the music. The detail and expansiveness of the Black Dragon make it a flexible fit where a broad range of musical genres are played. It can also improve bass frequencies on bass-light headphones.
The smooth, musical quality makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Black Dragon does not have a laid-back, lush sound. It is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural-sounding cable.

Cable Design
We developed our own connection system in order to plug right into these Ultrasone headphones. This creates a tighter connection, and it improves the sound, clarity, and dynamics.
The cable is extremely smooth-sounding with great low end and wonderful voicing. If you listen to a variety of music genres, this cable will suit your needs well. It is a little more rounded than the Blue Dragon with fuller sound and more bottom-end weight.
The Black Dragon offers a great well well-rounded sound that suits most genres of music. It is a little warmer than the Blue Dragon with fuller sound and more bottom-end weight.
Neither the Blue and Black Dragon is a laid back lush sound; they are closer to neutral, natural-sounding cables. The Black Dragon is very smooth and musical, and that is the best way to describe this cable. It is perfect for a headphone that tends to sound a bit edgy or bright, and it's a great addition to improve the bass frequencies on a "bass light" headphone.
The Black Dragon can be used not only as a detachable cable for many varieties of headphones, but it can also be used to hack your headphones. We can be "hard-wired" to just about any headphone, such as Grado, Sennheiser, or AKG. You can also upgrade your existing headphones that have detachable cables with our Black Dragon. There are many connections to a variety of headphones to choose from on the menu above.
We use 4 x 21.5AWG Teflon insulated stranded conductors using pure single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper with 7N purity 99.99998%. This means more music, clarity, and sound quality gets to your ears as purity in cable construction, cable design, and quality of materials make a noticeable difference in the sound quality of your headphones.
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 tubing. The new v2 version is now also double shielded and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.
The headphone connectors are soldered directly to the conductors of the cable. The splicing method used by other cable companies, which uses a stock cable's connectors, is poor. We have developed many of the hard-to-find connection options utilizing plastic injection-molded connectors. Great expense has been taken to bring as many hard-to-find connection systems for the most popular headphones. If you can't find the connection system you desire, please contact us.
The wire is soldered to the connector with Cardas silver solder.
