Upgrade your headphones with Meze cables

To enjoy the full potential of your headphones with a DAP, USB DAC or headphone amplifier, the use of specific cables is essential. Headphone specialist Meze offers a wide range of hi-fi cables, compatible with numerous headphones and connectors.

Meze 3.5mm mini-jack cables

The 3.5mm mini-jack plug is the universal connector found on most headphone amplifiers, HD DAPs, portable USB DACs and computers. Meze offers a wide range of 3.5mm mini-jack cables designed to replace the original cable of your Meze headphones or headphones from any other brand. To do this, your headphones simply need to have 3.5mm mini-jack mono or mini-XLR connectors on the earcups.

The Meze range of headphone cables includes the following models:

The Meze Silver 99 cable is the entry ticket to the Romanian manufacturer’s cable catalog. Its OFC conductors (oxygen-free copper to limit interactions) with Kevlar shielding ensure excellent sound signal transmission. Cable lengths range from 1.2m for a portable source to 3m for a remote headphone amplifier. If your headphones have mini-XLR connectors, it’s a good idea to use the Meze Empyrean cable. More demanding users may prefer the Meze PCUHD cable, whose 140 0.04mm² strands of high-quality PCUHD copper provide even better transmission of micro-details.

To make the most of Hi-Res sources, the Romanian manufacturer also offers the Meze Premium 3.5mm cable. The latter features silver-plated copper conductors to optimize the transfer of very high frequencies, which are omnipresent in high-resolution titles. The Meze Furukawa PCUHD goes even further, with PCUHD copper conductors and a structure optimized to eliminate interference. Finally, the Meze silver-plated 3.5mm offers the same advantages for headphones with mini-XLR connectors.

Meze 6.35mm jack cables

On residential headphone amplifiers and many hi-fi amplifiers, the headphone output is usually a 6.35mm jack connector. The Meze range featuring this connector starts with the Meze Empyrean 6.35mm jack, available only with a mini-XLR headphone connector. Then there’s the Meze Elite / Empyrean PCUHD and its mini-XLR version, the Meze PCUHD 6.35mm, both of which use PCUHD deoxygenated copper conductors. Last but not least, the Meze silver-plated 6.35mm cable (mini-XLR headphone connector) and Meze Furukawa silver-plated PCUHD (mini-jack headphone connector) round off the offer with their pure silver plating.

Meze balanced cables

With a balanced source, it’s a good idea to replace your headphones cable with a balanced model. This change can multiply the performance of the electronics, with most often a gain in power, dynamics, openness and balance. The reproduction can also gain transparency and finesse thanks to interference suppression.

Meze offers a wide range of balanced cables with XLR, 4.4mm jack or 2.5mm jack connectors on the source side. Among the 2.5mm models, we find the same variations as for the unbalanced cables, with pure copper models such as the Meze PCUHD 2.5mm jack and its mini-XLR version the Meze Furukawa PCUHD 2.5mm, as well as silver-plated models like Meze silver-plated 2.5mm, Meze silver-plated Furukawa PCUHD 2.5mm and its mini-XLR version the Meze silver-plated 2.5mm.

The table below lists all Meze cables with balanced 2.5mm jack connectors:

The more common Pentaconn 4.4mm symmetrical connector ensures greater robustness and a larger contact area. Meze cables equipped with this connector are the Meze PCUHD 4.4mm jack and its mini-XLR version Meze Furukawa PCUHD braided 4.4mm jack for pure copper versions. Silver-plated models include the Meze Premium Copper Silver and Meze Furukawa PCUHD (mini-jack on the headphones side), as well as the Meze silver-plated 4.4mm (mini-XLR on the headphones side). The table below lists all Meze cables with balanced 4.4mm jack connectors:

For high-end headphone amplifiers with a balanced XLR output, Meze offers the Meze Empyrean XLR (mini-XLR headphone connector), Meze PCUHD XLR (mini-jack headphone connector) and Meze Furukawa PCUHD (mini-XLR headphone connector) pure copper cables. As with all other connectors, there are also silver-plated models, with the Meze Furukawa PCUHD and its mini-XLR version, the silver-plated Meze XLR. The table below lists all Meze cables with balanced XLR connectors:

With these various hi-fi cables, Meze offers a wide range to adapt the majority of headphones to numerous audio sources, while improving sound signal transmission thanks to high-quality conductors. If you want to get the most out of your headphones, whatever your audio source, Meze cables are a must.
