All audiophiles know that your headphone setup is never complete without the right cable. When it comes to buying new headphones, the cable is almost always overshadowed. Going completely wireless seems to be the trend these days. All of the top brands are coming out with bluetooth everything. But, for those of you that just can’t make the switch, these are the best headphone cableson the market in 2018!
1. Silver Dragon Cables    Â
Moon Audio makes top of the line headphone cables. These cables are made of, eight single 26AWG Teflon insulated wires that are 99.999% pure silver. How cool is that?
These silver wires are braided into a geometric pattern that acts as a noise rejection barrier. An added iron layer around the braid helps increase the noise rejection and help increase the overall sound quality.
The designers went with the WBT Nextgen WBT 0102Ag as their connector termination option rather than the usual RCA because their lab tests concluded it produces the highest quality of sound. The geometry of the braid and the iron shield also add to the overall durability of the cable, perfect for running along studio floors.
Silver Dragon cables were made for impeccable sound quality and years and years of hi-fi audio bliss. The creator of these headphones, Drew Baird, started building cabels back in 2002, when portable audio and headphone solutions were still in its early days. Today, he uses the highest quality copper and silver that he can get his hands on to create the best built chords on the market.
2.Shawline ShawCan
The Shawline ShawCan cable is the Chord Company’s first headphone cable in it’s 32 year history. Though it’s their first headphone cable, it is pretty safe to say that they nailed every aspect of it.
Using the carefully developed Super Aray conductor technology, these cables separate themselves from the rest by using high quality, silver-plated conductors, PTFE dielectric and a carbon composite shield that helps cancel out any unwanted mechanical noise.
Even the black outer jacket is designed to increase sound quality by assisting with acoustic damping. These cables are lightweight, flexible, affordable and everything you need to compliment your headphones!

5. Nordst Blue Heaven
This bluetooth option claims to offer “a unique combination of technological innovation, liability and strength to make the best interface for mid to high level headphones.†Nordst uses 34 AWG 7/42 conductors, which are twisted into a Litz construction.
This geometry increases flexibility, eliminates triboelectric noise within the cable. The proprietary Micro Mono-Filament technology applied within the wire involves each conductor being wrapped with a strand of FEP and then it is encased in FEP insulation. This drastically improves the cable’s dielectric.
Aramid fibers have been added  to the cable as well to not only increase the structural integrity of the cable by transferring strain away from the conductors, but it also increases the overall sound quality due to its resonating properties.
These carefully designed cables will deliver music without any type of grain, and will make any type of headphone perform with high-quality sound.
