The Absolute Sound names Theta as Cable and Interconnect Product of the Year 2025

We are proud to announce that Shunyata Research's Theta interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords have been awarded The Absolute Sound's 2025 Product of the Year in the "Cable and Interconnect of the Year" category.

Reviewer Neil Gader praised Theta cables as “one of, if not the, most consequential cable”  he has ever evaluated. He highlighted their “impeccable spectral balance, nimble transients, smooth warmly lit harmonics, and treble octaves among the most revealing and natural”  he has heard. Gader also commended Theta for its dynamic performance and “an ineffable muscular density”  that seamlessly extends across the full frequency range.

The Theta series represents a perfect balance of refined materials and advanced engineering. Featuring continuous-cast Ohno copper (OCC) conductors for unmatched purity and signal integrity, Theta cables are extruded with fluorocarbon dielectrics and carefully designed shielding to eliminate noise and preserve musical detail. Our proprietary Precision Matched Impedance (PMZ) process ensures Theta cables deliver superior timing precision, dynamic range, and tonal accuracy, setting a new standard for performance at their price point.

This award marks another milestone in Shunyata Research’s history of innovation. Past Product of the Year winners include the Altaira grounding system (2022), the Everest power distributor (2020), and the Sigma USB cable (2019).
