Braided construction where the original fails

Braided sleeve that resists tangles
The woven nylon sleeve holds its shape when it is tossed in a bag or left on a desk. Thin stock cords pick up kinks within a few weeks of daily use. A braid keeps loops open and makes untangling a quick job instead of a slow one.

Reinforced strain relief at both ends
Strain relief sits at the headphone end and the plug end, where bending does the most damage. The reinforced housings take the flex that would otherwise snap the conductors inside the sleeve.

Gold-plated plug for a solid connection
The 3.5mm plug is gold-plated and TRRS-style, with a matte black housing that seats firmly in the jack. You get a clean, steady signal on both channels. The plain version and the inline remote version share the same plug, so you pick based on whether you want controls.
Connect it in four steps
- 1Seat the headphone end
Push the connector into the socket on your headphones until it sits flush. A firm fit stops crackle on one side.
- 2Connect the source
Plug the other end into your phone, laptop or interface. Play a familiar track.
- 3Check both channels
Listen to left and right in turn. If you have the inline remote version, press volume and call to confirm they respond.
- 4Coil and tie
Wind the cable in loose loops and secure it with the included cable tie.
Coil it right and it lasts longer
- Coil in loose loops
Wide loops keep the braid from kinking. Secure with the included cable tie.
- Unplug by the housing
Pull on the plug housing, never the wire, so the solder joints stay sound.
- Keep sharp bends off the plug
Tight bends at the strain relief are where cables fail first.
- Hang it, do not wrap it
Store the coil on a hook or in a bag instead of wound tight around the headphones.

Questions and answers
Yes, it is built as a direct replacement for the cable on these four Audio-Technica models. Check your headphones are one of these before ordering. Other brands use different connectors, so a different model will not seat properly.
The 3.5mm end is gold-plated and TRRS-style, so it fits phones, laptops and consoles with a standard 3.5mm jack. The other end is a Type-C style connector. Use the end that matches the socket on your headphones before you plug in.
The remote has volume plus, volume minus and a center call button. The call button needs a device with a 3.5mm input that supports a mic, which covers most modern phones and many laptops. Volume controls depend on how your device handles inline remotes.
The price reflects the braided nylon sleeve, gold-plated plug and reinforced strain relief at both ends. A thin replacement often fails at the connector within weeks of daily use, and then you buy again. One braided cable that keeps working costs less per month of listening, and your headphones stay in use.
Yes, for most desktop setups. The 3.5mm end plugs into a laptop, console or any interface with a 3.5mm headphone output. If your interface uses a 1/4 inch headphone jack, add a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter.
