Balanced Upgrade Cable for Sennheiser HD598, HD560S, HD599, HD558, HD518, HD569 & HD579 — OFC Copper
The Sound of Excellence
The Sennheiser HD500-series headphones — HD598, HD560S, HD599, HD569, HD579, HD558, and HD518 — use a proprietary 2.5mm locking mono connector on each earcup. Unlocking balanced output from these headphones requires a cable built specifically for this connector geometry, correctly wired to carry a differential balanced signal rather than a standard single-ended one.
The Headgear Audio Balanced Upgrade Cable for Sennheiser HD5XX Series does exactly this. It is handcrafted in Mumbai using 24AWG OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) conductors — the same copper grade used across our Leo OFC headphone cable line — correctly wired for balanced differential output and terminated in your choice of 4.4mm Pentaconn, 2.5mm TRRS, or 4-Pin XLR.
The upgrade from a standard single-ended HD5XX cable to a properly wired balanced cable delivers measurable and audible improvements — lower noise floor, better channel separation, and noticeably more dynamic headroom, particularly with balanced DAPs and desktop amplifiers that implement their balanced output with genuine symmetry. The HD599 and HD560S, in particular, open up considerably when driven balanced.
Sleeved in tangle-free nylon braided paracord — rot, mold, UV, and mildew resistant. Standard length 1.2m. Custom lengths available on request via WhatsApp.

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.
