Our search for the best sleeving in the world....
Through the years as you design and create headphone cables you must locate and source the absolute highest quality components for every aspect of the cable (without compromise). Textile sleeving is especially important for the tactile feel and aesthetic of your headphone cable. Things such as flexibility, durability, feel and micro-phonics can all be impacted with your textile sleeving. Our goal was to seek a truly exceptional luxury textile sleeve that hits all of the best aspects just right. Not only that, we sought a sleeve that had a certain "special" quality like our metallic tracer threads integrated into the final product. Stay tuned for more inovative sleeves and thread types added as we head into our 2026.
Early in our 16 year history we put in about two and a half years of r&d and testing countless sleeves across the USA and world. Ultimately we landed on a textile factory in the USA that has been operating in the fashion industry for over 60 years. This factory does not produce the very common "paracord" like you find absolutely anywhere. This sleeve is completely unique and custom made specifically for Norne Audio.
Who else uses our sleeve and can you?
Note that while we are the original source of this custom produced sleeve (developed by us and for us), we do allow a few other cable makers to use our sleeving. For example one other well known headphone cable maker and another that sells interconnects is currently using our special luxury sleeve with our permission.
If your brand wants to also utilize our unique sleeve please message us on Telegram username "NorneAudio" or email NorneAudioCables@gmail.com. We can do many sizes included for slim wire, medium to normal size wire as well as extra large wire (shielded interconnects). We can do a very large variety of sleeving for all types of cables.
A collection of color and pattern combinations
As we have been offering our sleeving for many years ,we have a large variety of options in stock currently.
On this page are various sample combinations, however you can combine any two or even three that you like on your headphone cable.
If you do not see one that fits what you are after, you may also look at the individual single sleeve lists and do your precise combination. You may even select three different sleeves for one cable if desired (send us an email on this one).
Special order and Custom requests
If you do not see the sleeve you want in any of our lists, send us an email. Just for a quick example, orange+dark grey herringbone is not in our list. Simply send us an email with your request and we will let you know if it is possible (odds are we can do it). Please note that any sleeve that is a true special order carries an added fee to a build (and time). Contact us at "norneaudiocables at gmail dot com" to request something even more custom.
pattern options: herring bone, multi tracer, dual color multi tracer, single tracer and stripe
color options: you name it, odds are we can do it.
Sleeve below shows an XLR or RCA custom interconnect sleeve (brown + dark grey patterned).
NOTE: A red base color metal splitter is also available with most of the above inlay options. Please just enter the color you want + the type of inlay.
For example in the notes you would put "Red metal splitter + silver raised red logo fill inlay".
