Review: Tangible difference in quality. Worth every cent. - I'm not an audiophile by any measure. I'm just someone who likes to lisen to good music and just happened to audition the Meze 99 Classics. Was blown away. And after about 2 months of heavy daily use (I'm a full-time student), I decided that the headphones could use an upgrade. AND these were 50% off. Turned out to be a great decision. The improvement to the headphones is real, in fact these should come as standard. I have decent ears, and have decided that I want to enjoy my ears before age catches up. These cables, in a very subtle manner, bring out the nuance and potential of the Meze 99 Classics headphone. AND they are balanced cables. The differences come in the following quiet yet noticeable difference: better separation in that you can hear different instruments with more finesse for example Dave Brubeck's Take 5, you can hear the sax breathe, you can "echolocate" each of the instruments and musicians. Listening to high quality sources now makes sense to me and there is a difference (or maybe it is my ears) and of course a DAC and software combined with a lossless source makes a tangible difference. There is more depth and texture to the music now. Bass frequencies seem tighter. Mid to high frequencies seem to have better clairty. Human vocals are more throaty. I listent to different kinds of music, from classical like Mozart, Mussorgsky, to punk, Ramones, rock like Queen, ACDC, U2, electronica like Depeche Mode, pop like Erasure. And these cables helped the Meze 99 Classics. It also seems like there is less need for more energy to drive the headphones because these are either more efficient because of the better quality materials or that they are balanced and the DAC I'm using them with is optimized for output to balanced 3.5mm signals. I would give 4.5 stars because it was only a cable and the input is a 2.5mm jack and it doesn't come with a converter to 3.5mm. Most mass market users' gear isn't going to demand 2.5mm jacks. Won't cost that much more to include a converter, please. It was a hassle as the 3rd party provider took ages to deliver their item and the cables sat on my desk and it took 3 weeks before I could use them.
Review: Unsure if the upgrade is worth the price? Read this! - Do you own a headphone amp with that strange little extra headphone jack, and you're wondering whether upgrading to balanced audio is worth it? So was I, and I dipped this $50 toe in the pool to see how it went! Short answer - hell yes, it's worth the investment if you can spare the money (but don't feel cheated if you stick with what you've got). I have the 99 Noir, into a Fiio BTR5 headphone amp, being fed via Bluetooth from an android box. I listened to a couple of minutes of song #1 on the original cable, then swapped to this one, then left it in for song #2 before reverting back to the original, and went back and forth sevral times until I got a good feel for the different experiences. First track, Inxs, Devil Inside, Dolby Atmos mix. It sounds incredible as is, wide and spacious but with heft. Swap to balanced and the difference is immediate. The bottom end doesn't just have heft, it has real weight now. Micheal Hutchence's vocals are super prominent and intimate, you can hear the emotion in his performance like never before. Wow. I Wish, Stevie Wonder. That sludgy bassline at the beginning now sounds like it's got purpose, huh, that gives me an idea. King Tubby - Country Gal Dub (from Dangerous Dub LP) - hell fire. This is a miracle - it does not sound like it was recorded on a paper cup and a bit of string! The sub-bass on this recording is phenomenal now, just seeps in through your bones while the the top end plays around effortlessly. This is an absolute treat. Ha, Ok, I got it. Last track - The Absolute, ft Suzanne Palmer - I Believe (Mark's Original Gospel House Mix). Curious, the main vocal sounds pretty compressed to begin with, but when it all kicks in you can tell the difference, and it's delightful. That bigass kick drum fills the bottom end, but the background vocals stay nicely prominent, and the keybard line that kicks in and gets lost on cheap equipment has all the room it needs to do its thing. The accuracy here is amazing, the cutoff on the keyboard line is so sharp it sounds like there are razor blades where the keys should be. Oh, Mark, I believe for sure :) Right - conclusion. If you bought a pair of classics / noir / neo headphones already, you appreciate the finer things, but not at any cost. If you're like me, they represent something of an optimal balance between design, cost, value and delivery. So, should you pay another $50 for this upgrade? Well... Will it make your classics sound 16.5% better? Uhm, you should go place an order right now, why are you still reading? Will it make your neo or noir 25% better? If you can afford it, absolutely. The quality being poured into your ears through this cable means your Mezes would still be a great proposition at $250, so if you love your cans, you owe it to them to make them the best they can be. Finally, is balanced worth the upgrade? To these ears, it seems like the difference between the local takeaway and a proper restaurant. Sure, you can go get a decent meal and it's fine, but the second you taste that Michelin goodness, you know exactly why you splurged. If you want Michelin Star audio, you know what to do.

J'ai acheté ce cable pour un focal elegia, je l'utilise sur un FIIO Q1 sur smartphone, le résultat est juste excellent. Comparé au cable d'origine du Focal qui est asymétrique le gain est important, la différence sonore est largement perceptible. Je le conseille largement.
