Aune AR3 4.4mm Balanced Headphone Cable, TRS, 6N OCC, Litz Type2, 56-core

Excelent , i can't praise more this cable best diffrerence change ever just because a well built cable

I've had a silver plated balanced cable from another brand for my Aune AR5000, but as AR5000 are low impedance you can actually feel the difference between silver and copper, with copper being a bit warmer due higher resistance and that's just what I wanted. On top of that, the cable is very light and thin, much more than it seems on the photos, you just can't feel it at all and that's a huge upgrade both from the stock cable and the other one with balanced plug that I had.

Thus cable is not only soft and easy to manage, but there was a slight increase in warmth that I don’t think, was attributed to the balanced configuration from my fiio qi5. Build quality is par excellent. For $50 it’s a no brainer. Highly recommend. I used this cable on mu Aune AR 5000 headphones.

Cables rarely get applause, but if they did, the Aune AR3 would get a standing ovation for quietly doing its job with style. It’s a premium balanced cable designed to squeeze every ounce of performance from your 4.4mm-balanced headphone amplifier, while refusing to look cheap or feel flimsy. ✅ What Works (Pros):Excellent Build Quality – Braided construction feels durable, flexible, and tangle-resistant, with solid strain relief at every connector.4.4mm Balanced Plug – Perfect for modern balanced amps and DAPs (digital audio players), delivering proper channel separation and improved power handling.Oxygen-Free Copper – Provides clean signal transfer with no obvious coloration, letting your headphones do the talking.Low Microphonics – Even if it brushes against your shirt, you won’t get that distracting “thump” transmitted into your music.Premium Feel – It simply looks and feels like a high-end piece of kit, which is appropriate at this price. ⚠️ What Misses the Mark(Cons): 🚫 A Bit Stiff – Out of the box, the cable has some memory and takes a little time to relax. Audiophiles who like buttery flexibility might find it a touch rigid. 🚫 No Cable Clip or Case – For something this nice, you’d think they’d throw in a simple carrying pouch or a cable tie — but no dice. 🚫 Limited Compatibility – This is a 4.4mm balanced cable, so don’t expect it to work with unbalanced gear or older 3.5mm-only equipment without an adapter. 🚫 Pricey – While the quality is excellent, there are cheaper options if you just need “good enough” — this one is for those chasing premium only. Bottom LineThe Aune AR3 4.4mm Balanced Cable is a solid investment if you want to push your headphones to their best potential on a balanced setup. Its premium construction, clean signal delivery, and handsome looks justify the price — assuming you’re committed to a balanced rig.In short? It’s the tailored suit your headphones didn’t know they needed — refined, dependable, and made to last. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ — Four stars for high-grade materials and balanced performance, with just a few minor quibbles.

Wrong plug on the end that goes to your amp/preamp or whatever you're using. You wind up having to purchase an adapter to go from 4.4 to 3.5mm.

What a difference this Aune Headphones Balance Cable has made! The upgrade give your clearer sound, tighter bass, and a noticeable improvement in overall clarity. The build quality is exceptional, with sturdy connectors and a durable design. Plus, the braided cable adds a touch of elegance to my headphones. If you're looking to optimize your headphone experience, this cable is a must-have. I wish they included these with their Air headphones 🎧.

This cable seems to be made well, flexible but not flimsy, solid connectors, and the cable lays wells with no memory.
