The Blue Heaven Headphone Cable offers a unique combination of technological innovation, pliability and strength to make the best interface for mid to high level headphones. Nordost uses 34 AWG 7/42 conductors, which are twisted into a Litz construction, increasing flexibility, eliminating triboelectric noise within the cable and improving upon its mechanical damping. Our proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology is then applied, which involves individually wrapping each conductor with a strand of FEP before being encased in extruded FEP insulation, drastically improving the cable’s dielectric. In order to accommodate the added demands on there headphone cables, Nordost has included an Aramid fiber strength member to the construction of this cable. Aramid fibers serve a dual purpose. Not only do they ensure the mechanical integrity of the cable, transferring the strain away from the conductors, but the resonating properties of Aramid fibers also enhance sound quality. The Blue Heaven Headphone Cable is terminated with a 3.5mm stereo mini plug and is provided with a threaded 3.5mm to 6.3mm(1/4in) stereo phono adapter that easily and securely screws onto the original termination. The Blue Heaven Headphone Cable is compatible with many popular headphones on the market. To find the right connectors for your headphones, please see the list below:

“All I can tell you is that the Blue Heaven and Heimdall 2 cable have taken up residence on my HiFiMAN Edition X v2 and HE1000 v2 headphones respectively, and both headphones sound all the better for it. Try these cables with your favourite headphones and see if you don’t get similar results. Highly recommended.’” (Read More) Equipment Review - Hi-Fi+ - March 2017 |
“The defining sonic characteristics of the Blue Heaven headphone cables are an open and airy-sounding midrange presentation with plenty of transient "snap" and definition coupled with detailed and extended highs. The Blue Heaven's bass is solid and taut with both good transient speed and pitch definition, but there is no added bass "lift," weight, or warmth” (Read More) Ultimate Headphone Guide - Hi-Fi+ - Summer 2018
