NewFantasia Replacement Cable for AKG & Pioneer Headphones

NewFantasia's 1.2m replacement audio upgrade cable swaps into AKG and Pioneer DJ headphones to restore sound, reduce noise, and add a durable, flexible connection.

When a headphone cable frays, develops static, or the stock lead simply feels thin and unreliable, swapping to a replacement engineered for professional use brings clarity and confidence back to your listening. This NewFantasia cable fits a wide range of AKG models (K240, K240S, K240 MK II, Q701, K702, K141, K171, K181, K271s, K271 MKII, M220) and Pioneer HDJ-2000 headphones using a mini-XLR connection on the headphone end and a 3.5mm plug with a screw-on 6.3mm adapter for playback devices and mixers. Built with OFC copper conductors and a 4mm jacket, it balances flexibility with durability for studio, DJ, and home use.

How will this cable change my headphone performance?

Swapping a worn or generic cable can reduce intermittent contact, lower noise, and deliver more reliable channel balance. The oxygen-free copper wiring offers consistent conductivity, which helps preserve the original tonal characteristics of your headphones without introducing extra coloration.

• OFC conductors for steady signal transfer
• 4mm jacket for improved durability and tangle resistance
• Mini-XLR fitted to factory sockets for correct pin alignment
• 3.5mm plus 6.3mm adapter covers phones and pro gear

Will it fit my specific AKG or Pioneer model?

The cable is manufactured to match the mini-XLR termination used on the listed AKG models and the Pioneer HDJ-2000. It’s intended as a direct replacement for factory leads that use the same connector format; confirm your headphone sockets accept a mini-XLR plug before ordering.

• Compatible with AKG K240, K240S, K240 MK II, Q701, K702, K141, K171, K181, K271s, K271 MKII, M220
• Compatible with Pioneer HDJ-2000 series
• Not compatible with models using fixed, proprietary, or hardwired terminations
• Check your headphone manual or socket shape to verify mini-XLR use

What connectors and adapters are included?

The cable ships with a mini-XLR on the headphone side and a straight 3.5mm (1/8") plug for portable devices. A threaded 6.3mm (1/4") adapter is included to fit studio interfaces, DJ mixers, and home amplifiers without requiring an additional adapter.

• Mini-XLR to 3.5mm plated plug for wide device compatibility
• Screw-on 6.3mm adapter for pro audio gear
• 3.5mm plug designed to fit phones even with thicker cases
• 1.2 m / ~4 ft length for desktop or portable setups

How durable and flexible is the cable in daily use?

The 4mm diameter jacket and OFC core strike a balance between pliability and ruggedness. It resists everyday kinking and handles repeated plugging cycles, making it suitable for studio sessions, rehearsals, and on-the-go monitoring.

• 4mm outer diameter for bend resistance and comfort
• OFC copper wire resists corrosion and maintains conductivity
• Compact 1.2m length prevents excess slack while allowing movement
• Lightweight construction avoids straining headphone joints

Who is this for? Musicians, audio engineers, DJs and everyday listeners with compatible AKG or Pioneer headphones who want a reliable, better-built replacement cable will benefit from this NewFantasia upgrade. It’s ideal for anyone replacing a damaged lead, seeking a stronger cable for regular studio or DJ work, or wanting the flexibility of both 3.5mm portable connections and a 6.3mm adapter for pro equipment. Note: headphones themselves are not included; this purchase is for the replacement cable only.
