Have you ever taken a moment to think about how a seemingly ordinary cable can revolutionize your music experience? In my recent in-depth experience with the IVIPQ series of high-end audio cables, this question received a surprisingly pleasant answer.

Today, let's explore together how these three IVIPQ cables with different positioning can enhance our auditory enjoyment and uncover the mystery of high-end audio cables.

Why should we pay attention to audio cables?

On the path to pursuing high-quality music reproduction, devices such as headphones, players, and audio sources are often regarded as key focuses. However, the cables connecting these devices are equally crucial, as they are like the "highway" for music signals.

High-quality cables can transmit signals more purely, reducing distortion and interference, allowing every detail to reach your ears without loss. Just as silicone rubber cables can maintain stable transmission in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, high-quality audio cables can also ensure the purity of signals in complex electromagnetic environments.

Overview of the IVIPQ Cable Series

Although these three cables from IVIPQ are positioned differently, they all embody the ultimate pursuit of sound quality. They do not attempt to change the inherent characteristics of the headphones themselves; instead, they strive to remove the "veil" from the sound, reveal the potential of the headphones, and enhance the clarity, details, and sense of space of the sound.

Here is a quick comparison of the three cables:

Feature	IVIPQ-34	IVIPQ-34S	IVIPQ-335
Price (approximately)	6000 rubles	6800 rubles	11000 rubles
material	Palladium and pure silver	Liquid nitrogen single crystal silver, plus graphene alloy	An alloy of palladium and silver, with palladium and silver coatings, and added graphene
Plug system	Modular system (interchangeable 4.4mm/3.5mm/2.5mm plugs)	Fixed plug (but other plugs can be customized from the seller)	Fixed balanced plug (4.4mm)
Overall sound quality characteristics	Transparent, light, and airy	Cleaner, more open, and more balanced	Reveal the potential of top-tier headphones, with sound that is more grand, profound, and clean
Suitablecrowd	Users who want to improve transparency and details with a limited budget	Users who pursue a more balanced, open, and delicate sound quality and prefer customization options	Users who own high-end headphones, wish to maximize their potential, and pursue ultimate sound quality

An in-depth experience of three cables

1️⃣ IVIPQ-34: An approachable choice with transparency and agility

IVIPQ-34 is the most economical among the three models, but its performance should not be underestimated.

Design and Material：The cable body is lightweight, featuring a 4-core design made of palladium and pure silver. It is equipped with well-shaped ear hooks and a 2-pin connector. Most conveniently, its modular plug system allows free switching between 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm single-ended, and even 2.5mm balanced plugs, offering strong compatibility.

Sound performance：You can feel the transparency and lightness it brings as soon as it starts playing. The soundstage seems to open up, with better instrument separation. There is a noticeable improvement in transient response and details, especially high-frequency details. It doesn't make the sound harsh or dry; instead, it subtly removes some "veil" to make the sound clearer. The low frequencies also become more concentrated, with a sense of relief and elasticity, and the dynamic performance is more expressive.

Summary: The IVIPQ-34 does not fundamentally change the characteristics of the headphones, but cleverly removes unnecessary impurities, revealing the inherent strengths of recording, and is very cost-effective.

2️⃣ IVIPQ-34S: A Premium Choice for Balance and Exquisiteness

IVIPQ-34S is slightly higher than the 34 model in both price and performance, bringing further improvements.

Design and Material：It also features a 4-core design, but the cable body is heavier and more robust. It uses liquid nitrogen-treated single-crystal silver with the addition of graphene alloy, making the materials more high-end. Although the plug is not modular, the seller can customize any connector according to requirements, which is very user-friendly.

Sound performance：The sound is cleaner, more open, and balanced. Both the width and depth of the soundstage have improved, with more "air" between instruments, making the listening experience more natural. The low-frequency control is excellent, with great texture and elasticity, forming a dense and confident foundation. The mid-frequency performance is rich and expressive, with vocals sounding closer, allowing one to perceive more subtle differences in intonation and timbre textures.

Summary：IVIPQ-34S is also committed to enhancing the potential of headphones, making the sound cleaner, more transparent and richer. The choice between it and the 34 model largely depends on the headphones you pair with.

3️⃣ IVIPQ-335: The Ultimate and Pinnacle of Hall-level Performance

IVIPQ-335 is the flagship of the series, designed to fully unleash the potential of high-end headphones.

Design and Material：Its appearance is very cool, with a purple and black color scheme, and stainless steel gold-plated accessories highlight its high-end positioning. It is made of an alloy of palladium and silver, with a coating and graphene added, using luxurious materials.

Sound performance：This is a cable that delivers an "uncompromising" experience. The sound is more grand, deeper, and purer, as if leaping from a stage to a concert hall. The low frequencies are highly cohesive and authoritative, deep, powerful, and with excellent control. The midrange reveals a special magic, full and three-dimensional, with vocal emotions reaching greater depths and instruments positioned accurately and naturally.

Summary：IVIPQ-335 is not just an improvement; it elevates sound quality to another level, maximizes the potential of top-tier headphones, making music feel no longer like a recording but a real live performance.

How to choose the cable that suits you?

Which one to choose mainly depends on you.Budget, current headphone leveland what you expectDirection for improvement.

• If you pursue high cost-effectiveness and significant improvement：IVIPQ-34 is a very good starting point, as it can significantly improve transparency and details with a relatively low budget.
• If one seeks a more comprehensive and balanced improvement：IVIPQ-34S is worth considering. It delivers a more open and delicate sound quality, with flexible customization options.
• If you own high-end headphones and pursue perfection：IVIPQ-335 represents an "uncompromising" choice, aiming to squeeze out the last bit of potential from flagship headphones.
