In 2019, Vortex debuted their inaugural cable for the 4.4mm TRRRS balanced interface, the 'Alida', which made waves with its cable structure that closely emulated that of an audio system. This innovative design approach set the cable apart from its competitors, demonstrating Vortex's commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the high-end cable market.

The planning for 'Alida' began as early as 2018, with significant effort invested in the design, material selection, and conceptualization of the cable, incorporating the latest headphone cable technologies. After a year-long development process, the cable was officially launched in 2019.
Vortex has devoted immense resources to researching conductor materials and innovating cable structures. We are delighted to unveil our latest offering, the 'Alida', which incorporates cutting-edge stranding techniques and premium materials.In pursuit of a perfectly balanced sound, the 'Alida' boasts a primary conductor of pure silver, subject to critical annealing, and finished with a layer of pure gold plating.
Additionally, the hybrid shielding design features spiral and braided shields in the stranding, with a spiral shield boasting an ultra-thick silver layer on 5N LC-OFC for a lively and clear sound, and a braided shield providing a 'quiet' background, enhanced by clear instrument separation and a breathtaking soundstage.
Material and Structure

After the success of 'Alida', Vortex did not rest on the laurels. In 2021, we launched the C.F.S. series cables, which combine style, lightweight design, and superior shielding capabilities. As 'Alida' has been in the market for three years and technology continues to evolve rapidly, it is time for the cable to undergo a final revision and be officially integrated into the C.F.S. series, once again becoming a classic in the Vortex brand.

The C.F.S. series cables are designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and stylish, setting them apart from traditional in-ear cables that use nylon fiber as the coating material.

Instead, our C.F.S. series features a coating of artificial silk thread, which is hypoallergenic and prevents allergic reactions. Additionally, the artificial silk thread has excellent shock-absorbing properties, reducing the stethoscope effect and providing an unparalleled user experience.
