For user convenience and ultimate performance, specific cables, including four-pin balanced Litz XLR cables and 03/16” (4.4mm) jack cables, are included, allowing both pairs of headphones to be used with both sources. To house everything, a carrying case with Macassar ebony veneer keeps the headphones and all accessories together.
