The old cable was somehow bulky and practically always in the way, unless lying as held of enjoying music on the sofa.
The build quality of the supplied cable is very good. Such a high-quality cable for the headphone connection I previously had not. The flexibility is to show enormous without even a hint of a kink. It specifies practically imperceptibly all lying on the road bumps. Even during movement occurs without difficulty with no mosquitoes and grumbling. Therefore, it is predestined for use as a headphone cable.
Compared to my old cable music edition has gotten better and balanced to the UE 9000. For a comparison I have performed the music output over neutral amplifier settings. A direct comparison with the old cable (I still) have to hear, especially the treble clearer and the total output is harmonious in itself.
I would buy it again at any time.
