Litsa Silver Upgrade Cable For 64Audio/ JH Audio ETC
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.
Litsa Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Headgear Audio. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Litsa Silver Sound Signature
The Litsa Silver is specially designed upgrade cable for audiophiles. Silver strands clarify instrument separation, increase soundstage, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. Transients appear more cohesive and the bass tighter for a more controlled sound. The detail and clarity of the Litsa silver make it a perfect match for classical music and other genres with many nuanced instruments.
Cable Design
The Litsa Silver IEM Cable is our Top of the Line IEM Cable. It is a silver conductor based Litz cable and it uses 4 OCC Stranded Silver Plated 26AWG PVC insulated conductors.
It is a great candidate for Darker Sounding Earphones or Earphones that have a bloated bottom end. For example, Earphones such as the Sennheiser IE 900 (a darker/warmer sounding can) or Earphone like the JH Audio 64Audio, which are planar magnetic driver headphones and warmer sounding headphones. The Litsa Silver will add detail and clarity to the top end and provide a cleaner more transparent sound. With closed headphones such as the Denon AH-D7000 & AH-D5000 the litsa Silver will tighten up the bottom end and control the bass better.
This is our most substantial conductor to date and is more than ample for all audio system. These cables are Carefully hand braided and consists of 4 cores of soft crystal PVC insulation litz silver plated wire. Soldered with Cardas ultra pure, Quad Eutectic solder for the perfect joining of connector to conductor.

Review of the Headgear Audio Litsa Silver Upgrade Cables
I ended up buying 3 of these cables, two 4W and one 8W version. Read on to know why.
I first got one 4W version of this cable and tested it with my Final A8000 and Sennheiser IE600 IEMs. These two IEMs are amongst my favorites as I think they both have their distinct sound signatures with extremely mature tunings that are reflective of the brands they come from. HiBy R8 is my DAP.
Result with the IE600: With its stock cable, the IE600 has a balanced, beautifully rounded, and musical sound that offers especially beautiful vocals accompanied by the perfect (for me) quantity and quality of bass and treble. The most noticeable change with this Headgear cable was how the IE600's sound tightened up across all the frequencies. The sound was immediately cleaner, clearer, and airier with much improved space between all the instruments. It’s as if someone had lifted off a thin blanket that was masking the sound. After listening to the IE600 with this Headgear cable, the stock cable felt like it sounded narrower and more intimate in comparison. I had never thought this till I heard my IE600 with the Headgear cable. Further, I now clearly heard even the most minor sounds and squeaks that I hadn't previously heard with the stock cable. The overall tonality also improved and became even more natural. It is hard to not notice the difference in the IE600’s sound with this cable.
Result with the Final A8000: I paired the A800 with this wire’s 8W version and the observations mentioned above apply here too. There is one important additional thing though and that is to do with the A8000’s treble. I always thought that out of the box, the A8000 had a fairly bright-ish tuning which sounded lean and peaky at times. With this 8W Headgear cable, these peaks and sibilance totally vanished. The details remained though. The result is an overall smoother sound that conveys details and emotions even more beautifully without the harsh peaks. In other words, this 8W cable made a majorly positive impact on the A8000’s treble. The bass also gained weight and presence. I’ve tried various cables (Cadmus, Eros S, Ares) with the A8000 and didn’t like them. With this cable though, things have definitely changed for the better! The A8000 gives out its most natural sound with this cable without sacrificing its trademark treble.
Result with the Audio Hekili and 4W Headgear cable: Here too the results were similar to the IE600 and A8000. The Hekili started sounding more natural and its sound gained good weight and body. It became more musical while retaining its strengths (good technicalities, clarity, separation, etc.).
