Note: In-ear monitors are not included.
Black Dragon IEM V1 Cable (2 Pin)
Upgrade your 2-pin in-ear monitors with a Black Dragon IEM V1 Cable. The Black Dragon will open up your IEMs and let them breathe easier. The Black Dragon has a warmer sound signature than the Silver Dragon, providing a more musical presentation with added bottom-end weight. You get a fuller sound and a smoother top end without sacrificing detail. The Black Dragon is appropriate for most genres, but works especially well with Electronica, Dance, Pop, Rap, R&B, and other music where a big, bold presentation is desired.
Silver Dragon IEM V1 Cable (2 Pin)
Upgrade your 2-pin IEMs with a Silver Dragon IEM V1 cable. Perfect for critical listening or for balancing warm or dark-sounding IEMs, the Silver Dragon will open up the soundstage and provide more clarity and detail. Silver conductors will tighten up the bass and pull out "lost" middle and high frequencies so you don't miss a thing. Compatible with any genre, the Silver Dragon works especially well with classical, jazz, and other music with lots of instrumentation and nuance. Level up to the Silver Dragon and experience your music like never before.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon is warm and smooth with a musical presentation. Copper strands enhance the body, shape, and immediacy of the music. The detail and expansiveness of the Black Dragon make it a flexible fit where a broad range of musical genres are played. It can also improve bass frequencies on bass-light headphones.
The smooth, musical quality makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Black Dragon does not have a laid-back, lush sound. It is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural-sounding cable.
Silver Dragon Sound Signature
The Silver Dragon is the original cable. Silver strands clarify instrument separation, increase soundstage, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. Transients appear more cohesive and the bass is tighter for a more controlled sound. The detail and clarity of the Silver Dragon make it a perfect match for classical music and other genres with many nuanced instruments.

2-Pin Connections
This cable now includes 2 types of 2-pin connections. The first is for Custom & Universal IEMs that include memory wire for a 2-pin connection option. This is typically used for IEMs like JH Audio, Noble Audio, Empire Ears, and many others that utilize a cable that wraps around the ear.
The second option was specifically designed for the new Audeze IEMs. Such as Audeze iSine10, iSine20 & LCD-i4 with a 2-pin connection that offers a locking channel and no memory wire for a direct drop-down cable from the IEMs.
Cable Design
This cable features a coaxial design utilizing a 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded silver 26AWG center conductor for the positive leg. The center conductor uses Kevlar reinforcing and is wrapped concentrically by a 99.99998% UP-OCC silver-plated single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper-stranded 26AWG gauge conductor with 7N purity 99.99998%. The left and right signal cables run parallel to each other, resulting in a very low inductance. Both signal jackets are polyethylene, and the cable is extremely flexible yet very resilient and resistant to flex failure.
This cable can be used with a variety of different connectors, both balanced and unbalanced, such as a 3.5mm TRS Mini plug, 2.5mm TRRS Balanced Plug, or 4.4mm TRRRS Balanced Plug. As always, we custom-build this cable in-house using high-quality Cardas silver solder.
What is UP-OCC?
UP-OCC stands for Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC). This is not a material but a way of extruding silver and copper to prevent any impurities and fractures in the crystalline structure of the wire. The wire is drawn very slowly to cast as an almost perfect single-crystal small-diameter conductor. The resulting purity and the size of the cast wire make a tremendous difference, and there is less damage to the near-perfect cast state. We find this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper-based and silver-based cables.
Connecting the Black Dragon IEM Cable
- Red: Right Channel
- Blue: Left Channel
- Dots should always point up
With the red dot facing upward, slide the connector straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the blue dot and the left IEM.
