Here at Toxic Cables we pride ourselves on quality and innovation. The Silver Widow 22 is our flagship in litz cables.
Toxic Cables has been leading the way in new design and innovation in headphone cables since it was founded in 2011. The very first cable we released was the baby brother to this cable, the Silver Poison which was an OCC Cryo Silver/Gold stranded wire, the very first in the industry.
Within months of founding Toxic Cables, we had a huge line up of cables available to our customers, with over 8 cables to choose from at the time, our customers had every type of cable they could want under one roof, compared to our competitors 2/3 offering.
Soon we followed on with more firsts to the industry, including our true hybrid Virus and our Silver Litz “Silver Widow” cables.
We have since made improvements and changes to the Silver Widow to make it the ultimate in stranded silver cables and now offer the Silver Widow 24 and it’s bigger brother the Silver Widow 22, cables that we are sure will take your listening experience to to the next level.
We won’t tell you how good our cables are or how good they sound as we have always believed that we should let our cables speak for themselves and if you click on the link above and read the reviews from our customers, i am sure you will find that they do exactly that.
No fancy words, no hard selling, just honest reviews from first hand users.

SW22:
if you are looking for a cable that will add to the sound without taking away then SW22 is the answer. you will get more treble extension (air/sparkle) without getting harsh or on the bright side. the mids will open up and some CIEMs that have bad time with the laid back mids will be fleshed out and balance the sound even more. such as UM Miracle or JH13pro for example. the Bass will get punchier, faster and the texture is to die for. the best bass i ever heard was on the SW22 and SW24, it was so addictive i wasn’t able to change the cable at all, my 2nd favorite cable is the black widow though. keep in mind that the bass is still tighter and more controlled.
SW24 to SW22:
i had the SW24 for like a long time, and when i got the SW22, the first thing i noticed that its sound smooth! its basically SW24 with slight upgrade on the control area, yet smoother!! without losing details ofc. i though i won’t notice anything but it was really noticeable, coming from SW24.
the mean reason why i find it smoother and with better control, is because my UM mentor experienced certain harshness on some track, with he SW24 these were better, but with the SW22 it just went away. ofc on a different gear and setup the result will be different, so keep this in mind.
SW vs BW:
the SW22 is like more fun in the treble, not as punchy as the BW, yet the SW wins in soundstage, separation,bass texture and speed. but don’t get me wrong the BW got the lush meaty sweet mids, and a sub woofer wana be bass 😛 the Treble isn’t rolled off at all on this one.
Burn in:
keep in mind that you mustn’t judge on the cable from the start “out of the box” were you will be getting less mids, small sound stage and many other things that will be changed over time.
how to burn in?
1- give the cable 100 hours burn in (hook it on ipad with any amp or without and let the music play on low volume)
2- after the burn in give it 2-3 sessions before you judge on it (so your brain adjust to the sound sig)
after the burn in and the 2-3 sessions you will be with a huge smile on your face.

Was using the Silver Widow 22 with my Noble K10 CIEM with my Mojo. Not much to say other than a fantastic combination, nice deep impactful bass and smooth treble. More clarity than the stock cable and a tad better bass impact. Overall very happy with it. I did upgrade to the Hydra 18 which I think is a slightly better match as the treble on the K10s is toned down and it helped pick them up a bit more. I would fully recommend Silver Widow 22 lovely build quality, fabulous style and brilliant sound quality.

OK I have had these burning in for around 3-4 weeks now in which I have heard changes in the sound & now believe they are at optimum performance.
Before I go on I shall begin by saying that ever since I heard the Tralucent 1plus2 on an Australian tour, I have been wanting to have these to the point that I was willing to part with both my UM Miracle & Merlin CIEM’s..I know you all think me crazy…Maybe you all are right, but when I saw this opportunity some 2 + years later I jumped on it.
This particular unit came with no cable, so remembering that I had tried with Tralucents Silver Gold cable at the time I enjoyed it, but the one thing that put me off was that the connectors kept coming off the monitors…I didn’t want that… What to do? I then recalled Frank asking me whether I would like to demo The new SW22g a few months before….YES I thought after all I used to have the original SW & like the 1+2 cable had been made with Silver Gold.
I went to mate Shinni cos this bloke has tried them all believe me…He is THE walking Encyclopedia on Toxic Cables as he knows em first hand…er Ear… I got his thumbs up although he wanted me to raise the bar even further by going the venom route…But for me these were out of my range. Anyway I got in touch with Frank & said not to worry about trialling the SW22 I wanted it…Also I wanted the connectors just like the 1+2 had with its cable…Nothings a problem with frank…He was only too willing to help out, even getting a better quality variety…Yes great i thought as I remembered those IEMs falling out of my ears….
Now we all know we have to wait a while for these things as he has so many cables being made. But its always worth the wait for quality right? Besides that was ok I had a cable that I wasn’t using at home. It was all silver, now I’m glad I got those connectors because these were falling off again….OOOhHHH I hates that….I hardly played them, also the sound was not quite how I remembered them on the tour. all a bit underwhelming.
Finally I was informed my cable was ready & shipped out headed Down Under.. When they arrived I was treated to a shiny Silver box & this spectacular looking cable.
I connected everything, a quick listen it had loads of detail but these needed to be baked…To me anyway I always do this before I can asses any cable.
So finally my thoughts… I am once again smitten by the 1plus2. I wont even pretend to remember how it sounded with original cable, that was too long ago. But after listening with my other silver cable to the SW22 Is like Night & day difference.
Now the sound stage is huge, wide…They are famous for this & SW22 does it no harm at all in fact it adds even more space, Its a detailed monster…Even with my old (dare I say) ears, details are jumping out at me, crystal clear, but what I love also is does not get sibilant.
The strumming of the guitars oh my I can hear everything. Its very apparent when I listen to Bill Evans trio’s Waltz for Debbie Hi res 24 bit. I found my self looking behind me hearing the audience & glasses chinking on the tables around the performers. Scary real.. But all incredibly smooth sounding.
The mids are warm singers sound very natural & life like I can hear all the instruments on the stage with my eyes closed. I feel interwoven in the same fabric as the performance as If I’m there.
The bass is where I am gobsmacked its tight controlled, no flabby bits baby…Ohh no this cable has worked out She’s toned & primed to perform..That bass is fast & when called for it even gets me to sub bass levels which brings a warped look to my face & rattles the brain.
Pity I did not have the old SW to do a comparison, I never heard the 1+2 with that cable, so sorry I cant say, but what I can say is This cable for me has me patting myself on the back for making the sacrifice of those 2 very good CIEM’s & getting the 1plus2…That alone plus the sheer quality build that Frank is known for & that cable aint coming off in a hurry cos its firmly in place. its a no brain-er.
This cable just allows the 1Plus2 to perform at its ultimate ability. I cant ask for anything more.
Thanks Frank for another winner.

A really smooth sounding cable. Was expecting to sound bright like other silver cables but it does not. Makes the bass much more compact and deep. Wires feels very soft and surprisingly comfortable as compared to my other 22awg iem cables.
