How does the cable maintain sound quality compared to stock cords?

The FAAEAL cable uses a 5N LC-OFC (high-purity oxygen-free copper) conductor and gold-plated plugs to reduce contact resistance and signal degradation. A balance-capable 4-pin XLR wiring topology preserves channel separation when paired with balanced headphone outputs, minimizing crosstalk and noise.

• Conductor: 5N LC-OFC pure copper strands for low-loss transmission.
• Connector: gold-plated 3.5mm plug and 4-pin XLR termination for corrosion resistance.
• Shielding and insulation: high-elastic PVC jacket reduces microphonics and wear.

Is the cable physically durable and easy to manage daily?

The outer jacket features a striped texture with a resilient PVC construction that resists abrasion and bending stress. At about 3.5 mm main wire diameter, the cord balances flexibility with toughness, making it suitable for commuting, studio use, or home listening without easily kinking.

• Material: wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant PVC jacket with vertical stripe texture.
• Flex: moderate thickness for tangle-resistant handling and long-term bend durability.
• Length: approximately 6.5 feet (about 2 meters) for comfortable movement from source to listener.
