can I get the other materials on the same site?
And what's on the red and white wires? Very long heatshrink?
I think I got all of my materials from wirecare.com, and yes, the leads to the connectors are covered with long heatshrink.

Sennheiser does. Everyone uses the stock connector and either opens the connector up and solders to the pins or splices the wire and solders wire to wire.

Where can I buy these? Or am I going to have to take them off the headphone?

You are going to have to cut them from the stock cable. If you don't want to use your cable your best bet is to buy a new 650 cable directly from Sennheiser.com. Its only $11.03 + shipping.

Here is my first headphone cable that I have made. Experimented on my old V600's (which the cable was broken on) before moving on to my HD600's

It is purple Canare with Orange techflex and a Neutrik plug.

looks a bit heavy for a headphone cable.

How did it work out?

The picture makes it look bigger than it is, it is just Canare star quad (maybe not the best choice, but it is what I had) With techflex on it. It is still plenty flexible for me since I usually only use headphones in the studio, or in my office while editing, or working with other music (even though I rarely use these headphones)

They actually sound better, still not great, but for V600's it is an improvement. Everything works great though. I used the factory grommet going into the left side and ran the headshrinked wires through it with the shielding removed sinec it was to big to fit through with it on.

I am very happy with it!
