[Review] Nostalgia Audio Unicorn Prestige: Newly Designed Metal Accessories, Retuned for Improved Vocal Imaging

In the world of audio, the pursuit of sound quality never stops. Local brand Nostalgia Audio not only produces earphones but also offers a range of cable products. Last year’s Unicorn upgrade cable impressed many with both its aesthetics and sonic performance. Recently, the brand decided to take things a step further with an upgraded version — the Unicorn Prestige. This new cable builds upon the material structure of its predecessor while introducing a refined tuning that enhances vocal imaging density and spatial layering. Additionally, its newly developed metal components incorporate meticulous craftsmanship and a rotatable design, offering users a tactile and immersive experience that deepens their appreciation of the cable’s charm.

Multi-Layer Material Composition and Special Litz Structure

The Unicorn Prestige continues the fine tradition of its predecessor, featuring a multi-layer material composition. Its core layer is made of 4N pure silver, offering excellent conductivity and low resistance to deliver signals efficiently with minimal loss. The second layer combines 4N pure silver and 5N oxygen-free silver-plated copper, a pairing that has undergone extensive testing for its sonic influence. The outermost layer consists of a 5N LCOFC and black 4N oxygen-free silver-plated copper spiral shielding, which not only improves conductivity but also effectively reduces interference. Notably, the cable employs a Special Litz structure, designed to minimize the skin effect and ensure an even distribution of high-frequency current, further enhancing sound quality performance.

Aesthetic Design with Artistic Flair

Beyond its refined internal structure, the Unicorn Prestige showcases artistic elegance in its external design. Inspired by a unicorn’s horn, it features a two-tone spiral braid that exudes understated luxury. The cable surface incorporates chameleon powder, which shimmers with different hues depending on the lighting — reminiscent of a unicorn’s horn glimmering mysteriously under shifting light. This design not only elevates visual appeal but also reflects the unicorn’s graceful and mystical qualities. Furthermore, the splitter and plug sections feature newly designed proprietary metal components with a rotatable mechanism, allowing users to appreciate both the craftsmanship and tactile refinement every time they use it — a true blend of visual and auditory enjoyment.
