Are those pretty heavy on your ears now? I imagine they'd tug quite a bit

I doubt its that bad. The 650s stock cable looks heavy but it isn't.

No. Just like PsychoZX said the stock 650 cable looks heavy, but it isn't. Is is actually hardly heavier then the stock cable.

Niice . It sort of reminds me of that Moonaudio KSC-35 recable from awhile back.

my first pair of cables, 24awg silver plated copper with teflon insulation in a tri-braid covered in white techflex, switchcraft RA connectors, generic sub-mini for the headphone end

as for the sound, I knew i'd hear a difference, but i just never thought it'd be this much better, bulstered the low end, much less distortion at high volume levels, took away a lot of the muddiness i noticed in some tracks, better imaging, more detail, yadda yadda yadda, couldn't be happier with how they turned out, i think i'm hooked

Wow, I just read this entire thread, and I just wanna say that you are all AMAZING. In fact, I'm inspired try my hand at making some cables.

go for it, its easy if you have any soldering experience, not to mention you can save yourself a ton of money, not to mention i had a blast doing it, i dunno, something very satisfy about pluging in something you just made and hearing how much better it sounds right away

Finally my HD580s have gone balanced! Now I just need to finish the amp

Specs:
Cable: Canare Starquad
Cover: Black techflex, red/black heatshrink on headphone end
Headphone end: Senn connectors from the group buy ground down with dremel, soldered, and glued. Not pretty but will sound better then any other solution.
Amp end: 4 pin Mini XLR. Talk about hard to work with. 4 Cables soldered onto contacts only 1mm appart.
