High-Purity Headphone Cable LL-4.4A Is Officially Released!
May 22, 2024 at 8:36 PM Post #16 of 26
In China, this cable comes bundled with the JT1 over-ear headphones, which are priced at 399 RMB. If purchased separately, the cable costs 70 RMB. This shows the severe overpricing of mid-to-high-end audiophile cables. Although Fiio also sells single-crystal copper and silver balanced cables with interchangeable plugs for 599 and even 1299 RMB respectively, I'm very pleased to see Fiio generously providing this quality-assured oxygen-free copper balanced cable at an entry-level price.

BUT, what I really hope for is that Fiio could release a single-crystal copper balanced cable with an XLR-4 to Dual 3.5mm AUX connector, priced slightly lower than 599 RMB, and a single-crystal silver balanced cable with an XLR-4 to Dual 3.5mm AUX connector, priced slightly lower than 1299 RMB, as well as similar cables with XLR-4 to dual mini-XLR connectors. These are what mid-to-high-end audiophiles need, not interchangeable plugs that only add unnecessary costs.

I have privately expressed this need to Fiio's management multiple times, but they have not taken my suggestions into account. If overseas audiophiles are also interested in the products I have proposed, I really hope your voices can make Fiio see this demand and produce the products accordingly. Thank u
I think Fiio is making accessories that complements their product rather like DD Hifi which produce mostly accessories..

True, but imagine with their corporate connections and bulk purchase planning. It probably is doable.
I suspect that it has to do with the Chinese not having read all those "white papers" from the various high end cable manufacturers. A science first, marketing second approach.

@FiiO knows how to aim. Cable is what we expected. TRRS as bonus.
Can we have the same quality but 3.5 to 3.5.
I want to connect my wireless headphones when possible.

Even better 4.4 to 3.5, OpenHeart seems to be the only actor this segment.
Dear friend,

Hi, can the 3.5mm cable comes with the JT1 meet your need? If yes, you could contact support@fiio.com and we could offer one for you.

Best regards

The only way to evaluate the quality of this cable is to use it and come back in 15 years and tell us how it held up.
In 15 years this $13 cable will most likely cost $130! i suggest that you buy it before the price increases.
