Audio cables

Audio cable — clean sound connection without interference

A good audio cable is the foundation of any music setup — from simply connecting a phone to a Bluetooth speaker with an aux input, through a car audio system, to home stereo speakers. Cable quality directly affects sound clarity and the absence of interference.

Types of audio cables in our range

• 3.5 mm jack cable (aux) — classic cable for headphones, speakers and car radio. Both ends with a 3.5 mm mini-jack plug
• USB-C to 3.5 mm jack cable — essential for smartphones without a headphone port, functions as a DAC converter
• Lightning to 3.5 mm jack cable — audio adapter for iPhones from model 7 onwards (with Lightning connector)
• 3.5 mm jack cable with microphone — version with a 4-pin TRRS plug, supports voice calls and music controls

What to look for when choosing an audio cable

Sound quality depends on several parameters:

• Shielding — double or triple shielding eliminates noise and hum
• Conductor material — OFC (oxygen-free) copper provides better conductivity than standard copper wire
• Angled vs straight plug — angled (90 degrees) reduces strain on the socket and is more comfortable in a pocket
• Gold-plated contacts — ensure better contact and resistance to oxidation

Aux cable for the car

One of the most popular use cases is an aux cable for the car — it connects the smartphone to the audio system via the 3.5 mm socket in the radio or console. If your phone has no jack, use a USB-C to 3.5 mm jack cable or a Lightning-to-jack adapter. For cars with a USB input, a USB-A to USB-C cable with Android Auto support may be a better solution.

Frequently asked questions

Does an aux cable deliver sound quality comparable to Bluetooth?

A wired aux connection with a good cable offers a more stable and less compressed signal than most Bluetooth codecs (SBC, AAC). The difference is particularly audible on hi-fi systems and better car speakers.

Which audio cable for a phone without a jack port?

You need a cable with a built-in DAC converter — USB-C to 3.5 mm jack for Android phones or Lightning to 3.5 mm jack for iPhones with Lightning. An alternative is a wireless Bluetooth adapter, but a cable provides better sound quality and does not require charging.
