3. Providing atmospheric musical nuances
Delivering signals accurately to the headphones.
3 - 1 Detachable cable
As the cables are detachable to change easily, a headphone cable with mini plug,
which has been widely used in the past, and a balanced-connection headphone
cable are supplied.
Having the high reliability of connection and keeping a stable contact resistance
with long-term use, a fixed structure by the lock ring of the screw is adopted.
3 - 2 Compatible with balanced connections
By connecting to a balanced-connection compatible product, you can reproduce
higher quality sound.
Using the balanced connection, you can output the sound signal without
transmitting through the ground. This reduces crosstalk and produces delicate
sound with low noise distortion.
The supplied balanced-connection cable is equipped with a balanced standard plug
newly standardized by JEITA.

3 - 3 High-purity, high quality leadless solder
Sony’s unique development solder used for our high-end audio products is adopted
for the component connection solder.
Tin with a very high degree of purity beyond 99.99 % and trace elements are
blended in an optimal ratio to achieve a natural balance of the low-range,
mid-range and high-range.
3 - 4 Corson alloy jack
The Corson alloy is the optimal material for a connection jack, as
the resistance value is low and rigidity is excellent in the copper
alloy.
The jack surface is gold-plated over the nonmagnetic alloy
plating.
