Sennheiser HEADSET CABLE X3K1 (Cable II-X3K1) Professional Broadcast Headset Cable

The Sennheiser Headset Cable X3K1 (Article Number: 700427, Legacy: 505782 / 508546) is a premium, heavy-duty replacement master connection cable engineered exclusively for Sennheiser's professional broadcast boomsets and monitoring headsets. Spanning exactly 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length, this dual-shielded copper cable acts as the primary hardware interface between an announcer's headset and an electronic news gathering (ENG) field mixer, production truck terminal, or master control console.

The "X3K1" designation outlines its exact termination configuration: the shared single-sided headset connector runs down a straight line and splits cleanly at the tail end into a standard 3-pin XLR-Male connector for the microphone circuit, alongside a 6.3 mm (1/4") TRS jack plug for stereo headphone monitoring.

Key Structural and Engineering Attributes

  • Aramid-Fiber Reinforced Core: Braided internally with heavy-duty Aramid (Kevlar) reinforcement strands. This structural core significantly increases the cable's tensile strength, preventing inner copper lines from snapping or stretching when subjected to sudden tugs on a chaotic sideline or live stage set.

  • Integrated Anti-Microphonic Coiled Segment: Features a short, precision-engineered coiled element located immediately below the proprietary headset plug interface. This acts as a mechanical shock buffer, intercepting clothing friction, physical handling vibrations, and structure-borne noise before they can travel up the jacket and introduce low-end rumble to the audio feed.

  • Highly Flexible Soft Shielding Layout: Outer-jacket wrapped in a specialized, highly tactile polymer matrix. This design keeps the twin-parallel cable assembly completely flexible and resistant to tangling or looping, even when deployed under extreme temperatures in cold field-broadcast booths.

  • Gold-Plated Contact Interface pins: Both the 3-pin XLR-Male mic barrel and the 1/4" phone plug are treated with heavy gold electroplating. This maximizes signal conductivity, lowers contact resistance, and provides complete protection against atmospheric corrosion and oxidization over years of field abuse.

Installation and Field Management Advice

Securing the Headset Anchor Screw: When mounting the X3K1 cable terminal into your compatible headset cup assembly (such as an HMD 26-II or HMD 300 PRO), align the multi-pin array carefully and push it firmly into the receiving slot. Once seated flush, use a small precision screwdriver to lock the included miniature anchor screw into place. Do not over-torque this screw to avoid cracking the plastic headset chassis—tighten it just until it sits hand-tight to keep the cable from tearing loose during intense field movement.

Dynamic Microphone vs. Active Phantom Power Safety: If you are running an HMD 300 PRO or an HMD 26-II headset utilizing this cable, keep in mind that these boomsets feature a high-performance dynamic microphone capsule ($40\text{ Hz}$ to $18,000\text{ Hz}$, hypercardioid/supercardioid). Dynamic elements do not require power. While standard professional audio consoles isolate the XLR lines safely, some older field-recording hubs or intercom boxes with faulty grounding loops can introduce audio artifacts or mild signal clipping if 48V phantom power is left active on that channel. For the cleanest, lowest-noise signal path, manually deactivate the 48V phantom power switch on your mixer's incoming headset microphone channel strip.

Absolutely Amazing!! Truly the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
I absolutely love these pillows. They couldn't be more perfect! I have spent years buying and throwing out pillow after pillow. I struggle with a lot of neck and upper back pain and I struggled even more trying to find the right pillow on top of spending several hundred dollars on pillows that just got tossed. If you want a great night of sleep and you want to wake up feeling refreshed and not struggling with fatigue and every day neck or back pain you absolutely MUST give these pillows a try!!! They are super easy to wash, made with great quality and have not once bothered my many allergies like most pillows do. I have not noticed any of the chemical odors moat pillows give off, easy to adjust does great with just occasional fluffing. So far has stayed fluffy for me although I did put it in the dryer a time or two as the instructions stated to help with extra fluff and also because I couldn't wait for them to air fluff when they first arrived, an Air B&B we stayed at had these and I ordered them before we even headed back home I loved them so much I had to order my own and was too impatient to wait!

Very comfortable. On the soft side.
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Soft, but not too soft. I would actually give 4.5 stars. The pillow is a bit too long and bulky, wish it had a bit more support, but overall, great purchase considering the price. Hopefully it doesn't degrade after washing.

Excellent pillows that are worth the cost
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
These are wonderful. Completely relieved my back pain the first night I slept on them -– I put one underneath my back as I slept, and a weeklong terrible pain vanished overnight. Felt like sleeping on a cloud. As others have noted, they are neither too soft nor too firm…they’re really just right, and I think would make great guest room pillows since everyone would like them. These were definitely worth the money.
