Just received a Noir Hybrd with "pimped out" (if it's permissible for a middle-aged/middle-class English man to use this expression) Furutech plugs/connectors, terminating in CF-7445 plug, then into a Noir Hybrid 4.4mm to 6.35mm adaptor terminating in CF-763 plug. Connectors to cups are also Furutech. A headphone such as the majestic Kennerton Rognir deserves only the best! Build, as ever, exception. Sound, in addition, clear, coherent, and compelling - bravo Forza on another successful mission!

Approved.

some really good photos in this thread.

And here is some more

I purchased a Claire Hybrid in 4.4 for my ZMF Eikon's. Delivery time from Poland to US was very quick. Ordered on a Saturday and received in 11 calendar, 8 business days. Cable is great quality, looks and feels amazing. Semi rigid but able to bend when and where I want it to, no worries about tangling. A few pictures below.

Thanks to many good reviews on this thread and elsewhere put my eyes onto FAW and glad I did. I think I need a Noir Hybrid for @ home now though....

How's the weight on those Noir cables?

I just ordered a pair of HD800S and I know they now come with 4.4mm balanced cable but my amp uses 4 pin XLR... Kindda sucks that they changed it.

Luckily this has been answered a few pages ago, I suppose the values are for Standard length.

75 grams without the jack. The Claire is lighter at 36 grams without the jack.

Thanks, how does it feel though?

I'm the wrong guy to answer that as I'm totally impervious to weigth, hopefully others can chime in.

Depends on the headphone. On my 442g Aeolus I prefer the lighter, 36g Claire. For me the additional weight of the Noir pushed the total weight too close to 500g and therefore not enjoyable after an hour or so. I have a strong neck, but I prize comfort when I enjoy my music, what can I say.

On a lighter headphone like the under 300g HD-600, the choice of cable makes no difference weightwise. But personally even there I prefer the lighter Claire for ergonomic reasons.

Sound wise have you noticed a difference between the Claire and the Noir?

No, I believe the cables are the same, meaning the Noir and Claire Hybrid HPC are the same cable, just different sleeve. Likewise the Noir and Claire HPC Mk2 are the same cable. But I am not 100% sure about this, maybe someone else can confirm.

How microphonic are these cables? Are they all the same or is there a difference between the versions?

 

[JaquesGelee]

Lovely! Can I please use that on my FB ?

Sure, feel free to use them if you'd like to.

Thanks!

My Claire cable is pretty much non-microphonic, while Noir is heard a bit more due to its outer nylon layer. But all in all non-microphonic behavior of my cables is one of those things my customers mention the most.

I just listen to music now and use the RBG colours to liven up my pictures.

Looks great tho

thanks will order the Claire now to give it a try though I like the look of the noir more...

Just placed my first order.
Looking forward to the cables.

these forza audio work cables are nice and i have owned many headphone cables. the forza cable is light, flexible and non-microphonic.
