Performance
One of our most challenging and extensive R&D projects has finally come to fruition. The Clear Beyond Headphone Cable project began due to the prodding from a handful of loyal customers who wanted to see us push the envelope, and outdo our venerable Clear Headphone Cable. This was no small task, and took several years. Clear Headphone Cable required the development of the first miniaturized concentric Matched Propagation Conductor, which presented challenges in both production and termination. Once those were conquered, we had a cable that expanded the performance of every headphone on which we tried it. But the idea of taking it to the next step was daunting. We began, naturally, by looking at ways to improve the conductor.

Taking cues from Clear Beyond Interconnect, we refined the stranding and braiding, creating a finer arrangement of Grade 1 Ultra Pure Cardas Copper wire. This yielded notable improvements, but we knew we could take it further by doing something we’ve never done before - adding silver. Our all new Hybrid Metallurgy Matched Propagation Conductor features a 30 awg strand of Cardas Grade 1 Silver Wire, in addition to the many improvements we’ve made from the starting point of Clear Headphone Cable. The results are spectacular. As with Clear Headphone, Clear Beyond Headphone has two separate cables, one for each channel. Braided blue & black thread, and joined together with beautiful hardware to give it “the look” it deserves.

Aurora ★★★★★

The clarity in the midrange is something I didn't know my headphones were missing until I plugged this in. Even complex classical passages sound separated and airy now. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade for critical listening.

Harper ★★★★★

I’ve tried a few different aftermarket cables, but the clarity this one brings to the midrange is just stunning—it’s like my headphones were holding back before. The build quality feels reassuringly premium, and the balanced soundstage is noticeably wider than with the stock cable.

Ava ★★★★★

The wait for these was long, but once I swapped them in, the soundstage opened up in a way I didn't think my setup was capable of—the depth and layering are genuinely shocking. They're stiff out of the box, so give them a few days to relax, but the clarity on complex tracks is worth every bit of tha
