With the help of Kondo Audio Note Japan’s pure silver conductors, the DITA Celeste
brings you a refreshed take on the silver cable, as you’ve never heard it before —
unprecedented levels of speed and clarity, with the body to match.
Possibly the first time Kondo’s silver conductors have been implemented in portable
audio, the addition of DITA’s new Awesome plug V2 makes this groundbreaking
cable the full package.
The Celeste’s white outer weave serves as a deliberate design choice referring to
the clarity and purity of Celeste’s sound, a call to users to treat this upgrade cable
and its delicate silver conductors with care.

• There are countless types of earphones on the market and we cannot ensure
that earphones equipped with similar connector types will perform correctly
when using our cables.
• There are no clear standards that manufacturers can adopt when using
these connectors. As such, the Celeste replacement cable may not always be
compatible with your earphones.
• The best way to ensure that your earphone is compatible is to check with your
dealer.
• In your package are both a commonly used 3.5mm TRS plug as well as a 2.5mm
TRRS and a 4.4mm TRRRS plug. Please be sure that you are using the correct
plug for your media playback device before proceeding with playback.
• We are not responsible for any damage caused to your earphone or media
playback device arising from mis-use or incompatibility.
• In most cases, your cable is warranted from manufacturer’s defect for 6 months.
Such defects do not include wear and tear. Contact your local distributor for
more information.
• If you experience a problem with your cable, please contact your country
representative. Should you wish to contact us directly, you may do so at:
