Kimber Axios is our very best headphone cable range and has been developed specifically with the high-end enthusiast in mind.

With traditional Hi-Fi, cables can make a huge difference to your listening enjoyment and it's no different when it comes to headphones. In fact, arguably, it's even more critical because of the closeness of the way you listen.

We asked Nate Allen - the designer of Axios at Kimber Kable - to give us some background about the cable's development:

"The first products that Kimber Kable designed were the 8 wire and the 16 wire speaker cables - such as 4PR and 8TC. The design for Axios is based on these original products. The headphone cable starts with an OFHC copper wire braid, comprising 16 individually-insulated 24-gauge strands. The really clever part is where there's a seamless transition to two, eight-braid tails." 

From 16 conductors to two 8 conductor legs with no solder!

"To accomplish this we developed an entirely new hand braiding process for remarkably precise and uniform braids within the transition. This is no easy task. The design team braided over 100 cables before the method was perfected and ready for production. It means that there's no solder joint to impair the signal, and rather than simply twisting the tails together, the famous Kimber Kable weave is maintained."

An extensive range of connections and formats

Kimber's AXIOS cables are available for a range of headphones and look out for more being added to as they become available.

The cables can be formatted as a '1Y' cable; as a '2Y' cable if you have a balanced headphone amplifier with two outputs; or as a straight cable, if you have headphones with a single input (such as the AKG K702). Cables can be fitted with 3.5mm mini jack; 6.35mm (1/4") jack; or 3 pin or 4 pin XLR for connecting to your headphone amplifier.
