Headphone cable

Greebo · 1 Jun 2021 at 09:48

Looking for a replacement cable for the stupidly short ones which came with my Focal Celestee.

I dont want to spend stupid money like the £300 ones you see but happy to spend up to £100 for a 2m cable.

What do you recommend please?

I've always bought official manufacturer cables in the past or just reasonably priced OFC replacements from Amazon.
Might be worth trying these guys: https://oidiosound.co.uk/focal/celestee long lead time though (pun intended) or Custom Cans: https://customcans.co.uk/s/s/index.php/cables/elear-unbalanced-cable.html

There are a few more expensive cable places, you know, the sort that offer a cable burn-in service. But by the looks of it, you want to avoid these.

Thanks will have a look at them. Sadly Focal dont offer any cables longer than 1.2m unless you want the balanced XLR cable but i dont have a balanced amp so thats out!

If you're still looking, check out Forza Audio Works. If it's not one of their standard designs, Matt should be able to do a custom job (he was a legend helping convert my Aonic 4 to balanced).
