AKG Detachable Cable Headphones

Balancing Audio with the Right AKG Headphone Cable

Acoustics engineering and manufacturing company AKG has been providing audio solutions for decades. Its detachable headphone cables are some of the accessories that you can buy to use with AKG headphones. The products are developed for professional and personal use. eBay has AKG headphone cable varieties that cater to all audio needs.

The connector or pin is the part of the cable that is used to link it to the audio equipment. For this reason, you must find cables that match your AKG headphones. Some of the connectors on AKG cables include:

• 3.5 mm jack: This pin is considered the standard connector and is used on mobile devices, home audio systems, and professional audio players. It has two bands that act as the negative and positive pins.
• 6.35 mm or TRS: It is used on professional audio equipment, including mixers and amplifiers. Professional studio headphones will have the 6.35 mm jack or an adapter.
• XRL: Designed after the TRS, the XRL connector is suitable for advanced professional audio use. Both the positive and negative ends have three pins.
• Mini XRL: A miniaturised versions of the XRL pin, this connector delivers a balanced output. It can be used in regular audio players and professionals systems. Some headphone cables can have a mini XRL on one end and a 6.35 mm on the other.

Be clear about the type of connectors that your headphones and the audio system use before getting the cable. The pin type will help streamline your buying process and decide how rugged you want the cables to be, because that will determine the right material. For instance, studio headphones that are in regular use require a tough cable that doesn’t tangle too much. Headphone cables are designed to work with specific AKG headphone types, so check for compatibility. For example, the AKG K240 headphone cable works with the K240 Studio.

When buying an AKG headphone cable, the braided type is one of the options available. A braided cable has an extra layer that provides more protection than a regular type. The tougher protection makes it is possible to use braided cables in harsh environments, particularly with professional audio systems. Different materials such as nylon, Kevlar, and fabric are used to create braided cables, so check the specification of a product first.
