Audio Technica uses its own special connection system on certain headphones and IEMs. They call it a "Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial" or "A2DC" connection system. While we are not affiliated with Audio Technica, we do sell mating cables that will work with this connection system.
The cables on this page will mate with the the following headphones.

We sell cables compatible with these headphones.
Wire Selection.
You may choose a cable with Standard or OCC silver-plated-copper wire with Teflon insulation. Standard wire is military/aerospace quality silver plated copper with Teflon insulation, 24 AWG twisted pair. The OCC cable uses a costly and premium wire formed of specially processed silver plated copper, with Teflon insulation and is of high purity, "5N" or better. It is approximately 28 AWG. This high purity wire sounds great and has been specially selected by us for its electrical and mechanical properties. Both types of wire are very flexible, can be bunched, and are durable.

Sleeving.
Our cables are fully sleeved with a soft, cloth-like black fabric covering.
You may select length from the drop downs above, or email us for other modifications.
