Beat Audio Billow MKII 4 Wire & 8 Wire Earphone Cable

This time, the Billow MKII is coming with a three-layer design, surpassing its predecessor in nearly all aspects. The innermost core is made up of a solid rod of silver alloy, which is not only thicker than the first generation but also has a new composition that sonically performs better. The middle layer is made up of alloy threads that have also been updated in terms of their material composition, and now they offer better conductivity with an updated sound signature. The outermost layer, which looks like a spiral, is in fact a sonically polished 24-karat gold foil running up each wire. This single helix is multi-function in that it serves isolation, tuning, and aesthetic purposes at the same time. I would call it the soul of the Billow MKII.

The new structure found in Billow MKII results in more powerful bass, beautiful and round vocals, and better details in the high region. One can immediately hear the difference between the MKII and the first generation after seconds of listening, at least I did. Appearance-wise, the Billow MKII looks better as each wire is now thicker due to its complex structure, but it still feels surprisingly soft thanks to our newest isolation sheath that provides a comfortable touch.

Here’s the description of the original Billow:

It is definitely not an easy task to write this description as the sonic performance of the Billow is ineffable, and we feel the effort is definitely worthwhile even though it has taken us around one year to develop this new flagship cable. The Billow is the first cable in our products to use gold alloy as thread material. Sparing no cost and effort in its ingredients and design, we took advantage of the most expensive material and the best cutting-edge technologies. Of course, we did not simply throw gold, silver, and other metal ores into a melting pot at random. Repeated trials were conducted with the aid of knowledge in metallurgy for producing these beautiful cables in terms of both appearance and sound. The performance in all frequency ranges is spectacular without any interference from neighboring frequencies. This means that the Billow can accurately conduct all signals in the original records regardless of how high quality the soundtracks are. Due to production difficulties, the Billow is only available in limited quantities, which is unfortunate because not everyone has a chance to get their Billow for the ultimate listening experience.

Customers have been asking us why we call it the Billow. I feel this question is worth answering. The Chinese name of this cable is called 金澜, where 金 means
