\"Review<\/p>\n

The Nordost Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable has been making a tremendous impact in the personal audio world since it was first introduced in 2014. Reviewers, manufacturers and hifi thought-leaders have been very candid about their impressions of this transformative aftermarket headphone cable. Simply put, it is an outstanding upgrade.<\/p>\n

In the past month, Nordost\u2019s Heimdall 2 Headphone Cable has been featured in two fantastic reviews. The first review, authored by CNET\u2019s Steve Guttenberg, was intended to focus on the Red Dawn Speaker Cable (which he was also taken with). However, when he auditioned Nordost\u2019s headphone cable, he had to expand his original review! The second review, written by Danny Kaey, was a recent highlight in Positive Feedback. In his article, Danny details the dramatic improvements he experienced while using our Heimdall 2 Headphone cable with his Audeze LCD-X cans.<\/p>\n

\n

“\u2026the Heimdall 2 worked their magic on the sound. The sound was less bright, more full-bodied and natural. I feel like I\u2019m just now hearing the HE6 for the first time.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“\u2026upgrading to Heimdall 2 is nearly a revelation in heightened awareness\u2026It\u2019s not merely better resolved\u2014attack, sustain, decay\u2014it simply carries far more weight and heft making the entire presentation that much more impactful.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
