Folks, just a friendly reminder that HIGH END Vienna 2026 is just around the corner!

And remember — it’s not the only great audio event happening in the area. Just a short five-minute walk away, at another hotel, you’ll also find HIFIDELUXE Vienna 2026. Historically speaking, visiting it has always been worth it — and now it’s closer than ever.

If you’re planning to attend HIGH END Vienna, we highly encourage you to take that short walk and experience both shows. 🎶🔊

Cheers,
FAW Team

A cup of tea. Saturday afternoon. A good review to digest. Short and sweet, just the way we like it!

Head-fi.org user osonte had this to say about one of our cables:

"My Forza Claire HPC Mk2 cable for my Sennheiser HD660S2 headphones arrived half a day ago (in 5 working days), complete system in the last picture. I can write first impressions because the cable needs to be Burn-in and has already changed in the first few hours, to which I compare it at the end with a Japanese Furukawa cable with Furutech connectors. First of all, as I wrote at the beginning, the package arrived in Hungary quickly. The packaging is demanding, but what is even more important is that the cable is made very carefully, paying attention to the smallest details, for example, the inscriptions are facing the right direction, the right side is marked on the headphone connector, the heat shrink is precisely cut evenly. Unfortunately, when I ordered a unique headphone cable in Hungary, I received a pretty bad job, both aesthetically and the soldering broke after 1-2 hours, which is no wonder, because it was such an ugly job, I had to repair it myself. That's why I chose the FAW cable, because I asked whoever had it for close-up pictures and saw the meticulous work. What I really like is that the cable is very light, but the conductor wire in it is not thin. The weight is important, because I use it for DAP and the previous 3-meter cable was much heavier and uncomfortable. The cable has no microphone effect. At first glance, I think its sound will not be worse than the Japanese Furukawa cable, I think it has more space, the treble goes quite high, but is not offensive, and the bass is precise. It doesn't seem to me that it has the typical copper sound, strong bass, duller lows, but rather tries to reproduce the original sound more neutrally, less colored than most copper. Of course, when I have listened to it for several hundred hours, I will return to its final sound, but it will definitely change in a good direction, it sounds clearer and clearer even in the first few hours. For my part, I did not regret buying the cable!"

Thank you very much and enjoy!

Folks, High End Vienna is now less than four weeks away.

The obvious question is: will you be there?

And the other one: do you think the new venue can top the MOC in Munich?

Here at Forza AudioWorks, we’re curious and cautiously optimistic — but we’d really like to hear what you think. Will Vienna raise the bar for the High End experience, or will Munich remain the benchmark?

Cheers,

As a manufacturer serving customers around the world, we occasionally encounter logistical challenges. Lately, these have become more frequent due to new regulations concerning copper and silver.

Despite these hurdles and the additional paperwork involved, our packages continue to reach their destinations. We’re also extremely grateful for our customers’ understanding and patience.

A perfect example is Head-Fi.org user milesandcoltrane, who recently shared his thoughts on his latest Forza AudioWorks delivery:

"Finally received my order after more than a month! Shipping these days is just so unpredictable. The cables feel amazing in hand! Despite being bigger they’re notably lighter than the stock ZMF fabric cables. Burning them in now and look forward to a proper listen soon! Thanks again Matty for sorting out all the shipping issues!"

Thank you very much and enjoy!

Cheers,

Another happy listener in the Forza Audio Works family 🎧

We love seeing our cables paired with top-tier gear — this time, our Hybrid Series IEM Cable found its way to a set of Sennheiser IE900.

Here’s what head-fi.org user safesurfer had to say:

"Today I received my FAW Hybrid Series IEM Cable. I ordered it with extended length of 1,5 m, 4,4 mm balanced plug and MMCX connectors for my IE900. The came well packed via UPS after two weeks from my order. The cable is a bit stiffer than expected, but feels really well built. A nice piece of craftsmanship, that wears very comfortable with my IE900. The right connector needed some force to be plugged in. I think this is the final tinkering for my Senn's now."

Thank you for trusting us with your setup — and for making us part of your “final tinkering.” That’s what we aim for.

We're really happy when our customers send us their older Forza cables for retermination, so that they can serve them with different cans. On that note, Head-fi.org user WoodyLuvr said this:

"Forza AudioWorks Claire HPC Semi-Transparent Mk2 (XLR-4)

I had Matt change the above cable orginally made for Audeze LCD-5 to fit my Abyss JOAL. Very pleased. I simply love this cable. High quality and careful construction. Strong, durable, but yet supple."

Thank you very much sir and enjoy!

At Forza AudioWorks, we work daily with some of the most demanding headphones on the market — including the notoriously power-hungry HIFIMAN Susvara.

On paper, the FangSound Dionysus looks like an absolute powerhouse — and particularly interesting for tough planar loads like Susvara and similar designs.

The published specs suggest serious current delivery and output capability, which is exactly what headphones of this caliber require. As many of you know, it’s not about “loud enough” — it’s about control, authority, and maintaining composure across the entire dynamic range.

We haven’t had the opportunity to audition Dionysus yet, but based on its design and price-to-performance proposition, it certainly looks like a very compelling option for anyone building a chain around difficult-to-drive headphones.

We always appreciate bold engineering aimed at solving real-world audiophile challenges — and this one has definitely caught our attention, as a possible contander to dethrone our belvoed Enleum AMP-23R.

Cheers,
FAW Team

While we like reading reviews of our products, we also like previews, like the one Head-fi.org user Mista Lova Lova shared with us and other forum members:

"My Forza cables review is long overdue, I'll try to write it soon (my entire system is now Forza Noir Hybrid HPC). Long story short, though - I'd not been able to properly enjoy my Susvara until I got these cables. The smoothness, holography and the balance between transparency and richness/tactility is basically spot-on.

I genuinely feel like the headphone and this cable should be sold together :)"

Yep, that'll do. We still can't wait to read the full story though :)

I didn't see similiar thread here on head-fi (correct me if im mistaken), so after quite a few times having a pleasure dealing with Matt (Forza AudioWorks) i decided to write few words. By far i cannot say a bad word – from individual advices for my setup (and im a total pain in the ass...

Sometimes one photo tells more than a thousand words.
And sometimes it takes two to show exactly where Noir belongs.

The author of these shots - Head-fi.org user raindownthunda - also had this to say about our Noir cables:

"Loving the Forza Noir Hybrid HPC with the ZMF Ori 3.0. Brings out the best I've heard these headphones. Great fullness and unreal clarity."

Much appreciated, for your feedback *and* these fine photos of yours!

Cheers,
