The CLEAR Beyond series headphone cable is the significantly more sophisticated evolution of the well-known and internationally award-winning CLEAR Headphone. It is explicitly designed to make the best headphones in the world even better - if there hadn't been a waiting list in the USA for this very cable, the development of such a product likely wouldn't have been undertaken over several years.

The CLEAR Beyond Headphone is the first analog cable from Cardas to work with both Cardas copper and Cardas silver. Its structure is complex: a pure silver core is enameled and centered with 200 Kevlar fibers. Surrounding these fibers are two concentrically counter-braided bundles of enameled copper strands. The construction is stabilized by nylon fibers and wrapped in PFTA tape. Two such strands go to each ear cup and are therefore wired symmetrically. The CLEAR Beyond Headphone uses one cable strand for each channel. The cable strand is woven with blue and black nylon fibers. The copper connecting elements have no sonic influence, but simply keep the cable flexible while looking stylish.

The CLEAR Beyond Headphone offers a level of detail never heard before, while playing in an incredibly relaxed and natural way. It is the antithesis of braided silver cables that rely on massive sensationalism.

In direct comparison to the CLEAR Headphone, one notices that a larger number of significantly smaller conductors are used. The total cross-section of the conductors is smaller, yet the cable feels more powerful.
