Unlike most competing designs at this price, Horizon 2 USB individually shields the data and power conductor pairs with dual aluminium foil layers, with both conductor pairs further shielded with a very high density copper braid. Oversized, high purity copper conductors are insulated with a super low-loss foamed PE dielectric and terminated with gold-plated connectors. Horizon 2 USB will provide a sweeter, more open, and more realistic sound.
