Hifiman Sundara, Ananda & Arya Headphone Replacement Cable
The Sound of Excellence
The Headgear Audio Leo OFC Headphone Replacement Cable is a handcrafted upgrade cable designed specifically for Hifiman headphones — compatible with the Sundara, Ananda, Ananda Stealth, Arya, Arya Stealth, HE-400i 2020, and other models using Hifiman's 3.5mm or 2.5mm dual-entry connectors. It is also compatible with Focal and select Denon headphones sharing the same connector.
The Leo cable uses OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) strands in a 4-core, 24AWG geometry. It is voiced for neutrality — improving dynamics, clarity, and instrument separation without colouring or tonally shifting the headphone's character. If you want to hear your Sundara or Ananda as they were designed to sound, without the bottleneck of a thin stock cable, the Leo is the ideal starting point.
Available in 5 termination options — 3.5mm SE, 6.3mm SE, 2.5mm TRRS Balanced (Astell&Kern / Onkyo), 4.4mm Pentaconn Balanced (Sony / iFi), and 4-Pin XLR Balanced — and two sleeving colours (Black and Red Tracer). Each cable is custom-built to order with a 7–10 business day lead time.
Connectors are genuine Neutrik gold-plated, soldered with Cardas silver solder. The cable slider is CNC-machined anodized aluminium, made in the USA and cryogenically treated for durability. The paracord sleeving is Netherlands-made Mil-Spec 550lb tensile strength nylon — rot, mold, UV, and mildew resistant.

Fantastic upgrade cable for the sennheiser hd 820. This has elevated the 820 to almost the level of detail as the open back hd 800s! The musical instruments sound so much more realistic now. Not going back to the stock cable after using this! Absolutely brilliant!
Opened up the Sennheiser HD 800 further! Adding a touch of warmth to the sound. Not going back to the stock cable. Although I do wish the cable was a tad bit longer.
Good quality product
Nice fit with my 599
Very good quality cables. Packed in a sturdy box and fast delivery. I will buy from you again.
This Litsa Copper v2 cable is going extremely well with my Sennheiser HD650.
It adds good body and weight to the overall sound, and due to this the treble is now very musical and not piercing any longer. The details in the music are all present, minus the sharpness that was there with the stock cable. The minor background instruments’ sounds and little squeaks here and there are all heard very clearly and nicely.
Additionally, the imaging and separation are top-notch, as expected from a high-quality copper cable.
The build quality and finishing are top-notch as has been my experience with all Headgear Audio cables.
Overall, this cable has taken my HD 650 ownership to the next level and made me fall in love with my HD 650 all over again. The Sennheiser HD 650 is a near-perfect headphone for me, and this cable just took my experience a couple of steps above.

I realized clearly the changes of sound quality between stock cable and headgears cable. fall in love with headgear cable. I think it is a challenge for many of the great international brand.
This cable surprised me very much. Really a cable bring the sound quality of an IEM? Yes and Yes. Very much. I clearly feel it. It's bring more clarity, more bass and more soundstage than stock cable. Recommended for all and I hope you must feel this yourself.

Totally satisfied with headgearaudio.in.
Nicely built. No loose connections. Sounds clean.
Recommended for connecting ZenDac wth ZenAmp. (The balanced connection is better sounding than using RCA on the ZenStack)
Got a cable for Sennheiser HD700. Its their standard model.
Very well made, exact length, covered in soft cloth like material, flexible. Happy with it.

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.).
Richness; Clarity ; Details. This cable has it all in spades. It's not cheap, but worth every rupee!
