Braided upgrade cable for Tianlong and HIFIMAN headphones with a choice of balanced and standard plug options
- worn or damaged stock headphone cable
- need for a balanced connection to match an amplifier
- plug mismatch with a source device
Give your Tianlong or HIFIMAN a cable that finally matches your amp
Your stock cable is worn, stiff, or the wrong plug for your amp. This braided replacement fits Tianlong and HIFIMAN headphones and gives you a balanced or standard plug to match your setup.
Braided Build Built for Daily Handling

Braided build that holds up
Multi-strand black braid gives the cable more body than a single-jacket wire, and the silver-tone collars take the pull when you coil it up or move between rooms. The two gold-tone earphone plugs sit on black strain relief, so the joints stay protected where the cable meets the headphones.

Balanced plug options
The gold-plated 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced plugs bring a four-pole connection to amps that have a balanced input. The 3.5mm standard plug covers the rest. You pick the plug that matches your amp, and the cable does the rest.

Built for both setups
One cable covers a home headphone amp and a DAP for portable listening. Check the connector ends in the photo before you order, then move the cable between desk and commute without swapping anything.

Connect It to Your Amp or DAP
- 1Confirm your headphone model
Check that your headphones are a Tianlong AH-D7100, AH-D7200, AH-D600 or a HIFIMAN model before you unplug the old cable.

Use the 2.5mm or 4.4mm balanced plug for a balanced amp input. Use the 3.5mm plug for a standard amp or a DAP.
- 3Seat the plug fully
Push the plug in until it sits flush. Do not force a plug that is a different size from the jack.

Hold the plug body when you unplug, and loop the cable in wide coils so the solder joints stay relaxed.

Questions and answers
It is built for the Tianlong AH-D7100, AH-D7200 and AH-D600, plus HIFIMAN headphones. The dual 3.5mm earphone-side connector is the reason for the fit, so check your model against this list. If your headphones use a different connector, the plug will not seat.
Look at the input on your amp. A 2.5mm or 4.4mm balanced input takes the matching balanced plug. A standard headphone jack takes the 3.5mm plug. Measure or check the amp manual if you are unsure, because the sizes are not interchangeable.
Both. Choose the 3.5mm plug for most portable players and a balanced plug for a desk amp with a matching input. The braided body and collars work the same in either setup, so you do not need two cables.
No. The braided build, the metal collars and the fresh connectors are upgrades on their own. The balanced plugs only make sense when your amp has a matching balanced jack.
A worn stock cable is the most common reason a good headphone starts to feel unreliable, and a new cable costs far less than a new pair of headphones. The braid and metal collars hold up to daily coiling, and one cable with three plug options covers desk and portable use.
