I had both with a Meze 109Pro, I prefer the audiophile ninja on every aspect, quality, look & feel, durability, regarding SQ the diference might be minimal, It was some time ago but I recall the ninja to be a tiny bit more warm… but I ended up selling the hart.
Audiophile Ninja cables?

While I have no experience with Hart, Audiophile Ninja fully deserves their strong, positive reputation. I’ve bought two cables from them and been very happy. Great budget solution.
Just ordered one! Appreciate the feedback @AudioDuck and @npatrix. Have to say, the Audiophile Ninja aesthetic is going to be perfect with the Meze 105 AER, with its Dark Knight/Darth Vader styling. Glad to hear the Ninja's build quality is good. At this price, it shouldn't sound any better than the stock cable, but if it does, that will just be a bonus. (Side note - The 105 is turning out to be a killer at its price point. At CanJam, I preferred it to the 109 and thought maybe it was a just a lucky pairing with the system they were on. Now that I have had them at home for week, they are sounding better than they have a right to for $400. The 10' Ninja will be the icing on the cake, though.)
Was given cable for Christmas. Used for first time today on HE1000 V4. Love the feel and the length is perfect for me. Can’t hear any sonic improvement but certainly as hood as the HiFiMan cable. Will probably buy more if their products. Beer bottle opener and pen are nice touches.
My Audiophile Ninja cable arrived, after some amazing customer service from Christopher. I appreciate the personalized service and fast communication. The cable itself is very nice, with a fit and finish that is much better than I was expecting for such a bargain price. Pretty amazing, considering the amount of "audiophile inflation" we have seen from many companies.
There is fairly loud cable-chuffing noise through the earcups from the portion of the cable between the splitter and the earcups whenever I move my head. That is unfortunate.

I got my first Audiophile Ninja cable today to replace a Sivga sourced cable. It sounds great and feels solid. It seems to be of much better quality than the cables provided by Sivga. I just wish Sivga used 3.5mm connectors at the headphone ends instead of 2.5mm connectors. I managed to bend the connectors on the ends of the original cable. I fear that this cable might suffer the same fate regardless of how robust the cable itself is. You can't make up for the fragile nature of the 2.5mm ends. Audiophile Ninja is one of the few cable providers that does cables for the Sivga.
I have some Audiophile Ninja cables and they are very good. Nonetheless I am selling those and replacing with Fog City Audio or another brand. I'm getting my cables with the 4.4mm balanced plug instead of XLR.
If you are in Canada and need a cable I have a couple left.

I just bought one of their cables for my soon to arrive meze 105 so happy htat other users are enjoying this combo already. My source will be an ifi audio gold bar. A bit worried about the before mentioned noise if moving around during listening but time will tell if htat will bother me. Shipping to europe was fairly expensive but I wanted to get it here quickkly and from my experience if you dont get a good carrier it can take forever to get to europe.

I have a series of his cables for HD800, Focal Utopias, DCA Noire's. These are both 5 feet 3.5mm and 10 feet XLR.
Simple, affordable, solidly built cables that ship quickly and sound good!
I have no complaints at all, since i was fully aware of materials and heft AN builds but some may not love the texture, may want thinner or a braided texture or silver etc. Thats really personal preference stuff though.

Their upcoming Vanish cables is legit good! I've heard the ETA headphone version of the Vanish cable about 2 years ago. Affordable refined sound without paying megabucks and excellent AN quality

Thinking about trying the vanish line for my HD800S's. I want a good cable that doesn't eq the sound. Neutral is what I am after. Has anyone heard these cables?

Their cables are excellent and very neutral. Cheaper cables tend to sound muddy

If I'm understanding the response correctly, it's about the quality of the Audiophile Ninja cables in general. However, the question, as I understand it, is whether anyone has heard the new Vanish line of cables that contain single-crystal copper with Litz-treated conductors. This line of cables wasn't available when I ordered my cable a couple of months ago. The original cables are now referred to as the Shuriken line. I'm just trying to clear up the question in case it wasn't clear. Hopefully I didn't make it worse. Sometimes I can be clear as mud to everyone else even if I'm clear as purified water in my head.
I too would like to know how the new Vanish line of cables sound.
I bought a 4.4mm to 4.4mm extension cable and a 4.4mm to 4-pin XLR adapter from these guys a couple years ago. These have proven to be solid, no-nonsense builds.
I am interested in their new Vanish line; I'm just wondering when/if they'll be expanding their Vanish offerings (I'd consider a new cable for my Sony MDR-Z1R (using the screw-type 3.5mm connectors) as well as an XLR to 6.3mm adapter made of their new 6N UPOCC conductors).

The YouTube reviewer Wavetheory strikes me as a straight shooter, and he finds the Vanish to be audibly superior to the Ninja standard cable.
