The Audio-Technica AT-HC2C/1.2 allows you to connect M-series and R-series headphones via USB Type-C. This cable enables high-quality audio playback simply by connecting your headphones to a digital device equipped with a USB Type-C port.

■ Cable design prioritizing sound quality, featuring high-purity 6N OCC:
This cable is designed with a primary focus on sound quality, utilizing exclusively high-purity 6N OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper—a form of single-crystal, oxygen-free copper. By minimizing crystal boundaries within the conductor, the cable reduces signal loss and coloration, ensuring that the nuances of the original audio source are delivered faithfully to your headphones. It is an ideal choice for listening environments where capturing delicate, nuanced detail is essential. *6N-OCC (Single-Crystal Oxygen-Free Copper): This refers to high-purity copper (99.9999% pure) processed via the OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) method to form a single-crystal structure. Because the OCC method allows copper to be cast as essentially one large crystal, there are virtually no grain boundaries, which significantly minimizes signal loss and distortion during transmission.
■ Spiral shielding to block external noise: A spiral shield structure surrounds the conductor, blocking out external noise to ensure a transparent soundstage and the precise reproduction of subtle sonic details.
■ Metal plugs that offer both a premium feel and enhanced noise resistance
■ Fabric-sheathed cable that is pleasant to the touch and resistant to tangling
■ High-performance DAC supporting high-resolution audio output up to 32-bit/384kHz (PCM)
■ A2DC cable—an official, reliable, and sonically optimized solution from the manufacturer
■ In-line remote with microphone for easy control: Manage music and video playback (play/pause, skip forward/backward, volume adjustment) and handle incoming/outgoing calls.
■ No charging required; compatible with multiple devices
■ Ensures a seamless, lag-free experience for watching videos and gaming
