Tonekraft is built upon the science of how electricity works. 10 years and 250+ prototypes have brought us to ToneKraft.  We removed 1900pF of signal altering capacitance, of which is present in many stock headphone cables as well as costly aftermarket cables!

Due to the high intensity labor and custom nature of headphone cables a 20% restock will be applied to RMA on lengths of 6ft,8ft,10ft. Other lengths are non RMA.

    PART 1 : Original ToneKraft

    There are many variable when reviewing a component so it’s important to keep in mind that I have Sennheiser 800S headphones and a Cary 300SEI integrated amp. Even with a 300B SET amp, the 800S sounds a bit lean and sterile. When I bought the 800S, it came with a Cardas Clear that’s DOUBLE the cost of the ToneKraft.

    I wasn’t completely satisfied with the sound I was getting and decided to try the ToneKraft. My friend who owns an audiophile shop came over and we compared the ToneKraft against the Cardas Clear. After less than a minute of listening to each, it was no contest. The Cardas Clear sounded muddy and ToneKraft sounded like music!

    PART 2 : 2nd Generation ToneKraft

    Fast-forward…I now own the 2nd generation ToneKraft. It employs a more flexible cable which is a nice benefit. More importantly, it has more bass and mid-range bloom along with a less edgy high-end. The trade-off is ever so slightly less air for even greater musicality. And I haven’t noticed any loss of resolution.

    Captain said it takes around 100 hours to fully break in the cable. After 50 hours of music and 4 hours of Track 1 of my IsoTek Enhancer CD, I can honestly say the 2nd generation ToneKraft has taken the 800S into a completely different league from the stock cable, or even the award-winning original ToneKraft cable. The added bloom prompts the brain into recognizing the emotional cues in the music whereas before, the listening experience was more cerebral. The bloom in no way sounds artificial; it’s more like the micro-dynamics and decay are now revealed for a more emotionally engaging and satisfying listening experience. The 800S is lacking deep bass and while the cable doesn’t add to what’s not inherently there, the bloom creates the illusion of a deeper, more visceral bass.

    The ToneKraft is somewhat forgiving but it’s not a magic bullet. In a revealing system, it’s a double-edged sword. While bad recordings will still sound bad, it does make good recordings sound great!

    You are dead on! Within the first five minutes I knew I made the right choice. ToneKraft for the HD650 is awesome and that’s even without burn in time.
    Thank you for the advice over the Cardas.
    The base is clearer, defined, and full, and the overall musicality of the headphones are much more inviting. I listened for no less than four hours today with no fatigue at all. To me, they now have the warmth of vinyl with the definition of digital, ample head space, clear instrument definition, and highs that sound crisp and clear without being piercing. I know personal preference and hearing ability are individual but again, for me, this was an awesome purchase and a huge improvement over the original cable. Perfect!!!

    Have given the headphone cable a good 500 hrs cooking time, as i do with all new cables. I am staggered at how much better it is than any other cable I have tried with my HD800. Macro and micro information just pour through to make up as near a realistic picture as I could hope for. Width,depth and height along with layering and image placement are top notch, engrossing stuff.
    I always new my gear was capable of more and thanks to your wire I was right. Really looking forward to the Mains cable arriving.

    Received my ToneKraft cable for my Audioquest Nighthawk Carbon headphones today. At first I did not think there was any improvement; starting with ToneKraft and then switching to the Audioquest. But after stepping away while letting the music run for a few hours, I tried again and was pleasantly surprised.
    The midrange vail was lifted, everything seemed fuller and more detailed. The soundstage was further forward and larger. Also, the music was more engaging and enveloping.
    Over several hours I listened to several SACD tracks back to back while switching cables and consistently found the ToneKraft cable superior.
    Captain, you make an excellent product! Thanks again.

    The ToneKraft headphone cables sound detailed and rich on all types of music, without any harshness.

    I borrowed three other headphone cables to compare to the ToneKraft when I auditioned some headphones recently.

    The ToneKraft sounded much better to me in every way than those other three cables which were built from:

    1) the Canare L-4E6S cable (clear but harsh on a lot of recordings)
    2) the Cardas 4 x 24 cable (aka Corpse Gravedigger) (smooth but hooded/veiled unmusical sound)
    3) the occ copper LQI cable with too warm and recessed mids and rolled-off highs (sold on ebay).

    I am convinced that the ToneKraft headphone cables are definitely the ones to buy if you want to get the best sound from your headphones.

    Work very well with HD650 Sennheiser . articulate , great sound stage and no fatigue after hours . Well worth the purchase. Just buy them !

    I`m still breaking in the ToneKraft headphone cables but right out of the box they were more refined and more detailed than my current cables
    were .

  9. Patrick Daniel Woessner

    Very good cable. I use it with the Burson Conductor 3R and Hifiman Susvara headphones. Happy greetings from Germany!

  10. daniel dalton

    Tonekraft cable makes all my other cables sound like kite string! Also, if you use a tube amp don’t wait, order now. You can thank me later.

    Recently purchased after purchasing AE’s phono cables. I own the Abyss 1266 phi tc, had previously purchased a cable from Corpse Cable (Cardas) with a 4.4mm Pentaconn for my AK Kann Cube and found it to be just as good as the Abyss stock cable though less expensive.
    The ToneKraft is a lot better in every way than Abyss stock and Corpse Cable. It’s just better, much cleaner, much more detail, much more musical. And this quality can’t be beat at any price.

  12. Bill Bondarenko

    I’m on my 2nd Audio Envy headphone cable. My first one was purchased used and was not expecting anything, but my 1266 TC sounded the same with this cable compared to the $2000+ JPS cable Abyss makes for the headphone. I’m not into believing cables do much for EDM music but sometimes buying $2000+ cable feels good until buy one for few hundred and fell the same.

    So my 2nd cable is for my ibasso SR2 and Hifiman HE-R9.

    This cable is super light and flexible. I like these cables for not being crazy expensive and looking just as good as one.

    I would like different color options on parts just so my cables don’t all match.

    Cables I’ve owned are many and would recommend adding this one to your collection of cables.

    For God sake, I’m glad I can dispose my Cardas and Blue dragon cable. This is a truly innovative approach! I never imagined this kind of “depth” in music and delivery of the rhythm in timing. No other cable has offered this level of spatial separation!

    I am very pleased with my Tonekraft headphone cables. They have transformed my alright 1More triple driver headphones into incredible critical listening devices. The cables lend a newfound sense of space and detail to any recording. Listening to familiar tracks with this hardware combination, I feel like I’m sitting in the studio with my favorite artists when they laid down those tracks. I’m hearing nuances in music that I’ve listened to for decades, but never ‘experienced’ before.
    Its not just my ears that have been won over by ToneKraft. I’ve demoed this headphone/cable combo to friends and family alike and everyone has had this same experience. The look on their face as they rediscover their favorite music is a joy to watch. Thank you Audio Envy
