Based on the RC-SE1, the new RC-ATHB is terminated in a balanced 2.5mm 4 pole plug which is popular with many high end DAP's

*DOES NOT WORK WITH STANDARD 3.5MM PLUGS, SUCH AS YOUR PHONE*

Separate left and right, positive and negative channel wires split the signal transfer. When connected to the AM3 module for the X7 or an Astell & Kern player (model AK300 and beyond) RC-ATHBcan greatly increase the signal-to-noise ratio as well as enhance the channel separation.

The result is a wider sound-stage and more textured bass along with a blacker background during quiet musical passages. The RC-ATHB adopts Teflon for the sheath. Utilizing 11 strands of silver plated copper (each with a diameter of 0.08mm) which are woven into one single wire, the RC-ATHB represents outstanding value for the price.

Richard ★★★★★

Swapped the stock cable on my IM70s for this and the difference in channel separation is immediately obvious on my DAP. The 2.5mm balanced plug fits snugly with no wobble, and the build feels sturdier than the original cable.

Andrew ★★★★★

I was a bit nervous about the 2.5mm plug compatibility, but it clicked firmly into my DAP and the separation between left and right channels is noticeably cleaner than with the stock cable.

Amelia ★★★★★

Finally got to hear the IM series without the stock cable’s noise floor, and this 2.5mm balanced plug cleaned up the background completely on my DAP. The braided jacket is also more flexible than I expected, so no stiffness around the earhooks during long sessions. Just remember it’s strictly balanc
