We’re proud to unveil Hybrid XL, the first cable release of 2025 and our most ambitious design to date.

Born from months of experimentation and a return to the fundamentals of cable architecture, Hybrid XL reimagines past concepts with a fresh perspective. The result is a bold, high-performance design that blends familiarity with innovation. At the heart of Hybrid XL is our thickest configuration ever—a robust 16AWG 7x quad-layer coaxial Litz structure—engineered to maximize conductivity and sonic integrity across a wide range of equipment.

Each of the seven internal groups features four precision-layered strand sets, allowing for a denser, more efficient transmission path that scales effortlessly from sensitive IEMs to power-hungry full-size headphones. Every strand is individually enamel-coated to eliminate electrical interference, mitigate the effects of skin effect, and resist oxidation over time.

Additional features include:

• Proprietary PS Insulation – for enhanced ergonomics and superior flexibility

• Cryogenic Treatment – stabilizes conductor performance and improves long-term durability

• Optimized for Versatility – delivers a balanced, full-bodied sonic signature across all use cases

Despite its size, Hybrid XL not only retains, but improves overall ergonomics —eclipsing the comfort and handling of similarly sized cables.

Reviews:

"What do I expect to get when buying a flagship cable, I want clarity and balance where nothing is removed from the music. This is exactly what Hybrid XL delivers, it is a full sounding cable where everything is clear and present. I often try to avoid using the description natural or organic, but it is what I would say happened on a few IEMs when changing out their stock cables." Leonarfd, head-fi.org

"A very impressive thing I found about the Hybrid XL cable was that, despite its thickness, it was still very soft and comfortable, with no memory effect or microphonics. From a sound perspective, it also had a very unique sound signature with its own secret sauce... I enjoyed this cable very much and will continue using it in my other IEM reviews as part of the pair-up testing." - Alex, Twister6.com

"Hybrid XL is a cable that uniquely blends the best qualities of silver and copper. Its overall performance - encompassing ergonomics, build quality, and sound - is exceptional. It significantly enhances sound quality, delivery deep, powerful bass, a transparent, nuanced midrange, richer instrument tones, and impressive layering and imaging. In particular, I found the layering is the Hybrid XL's best quality, and it's often only found in the best of the best cables. However, although it's not a cheap cable by any means, it doesn't cost a kidney like ultra-flagship cables either. On its way to our Best Accessories" - Berkhan, headfonia.com
