Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones

All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...

I just plugged my alo imod lod into a regular ipod lineout, because my imod is not here yet.

It kinda looks like there is a gap in the pins on one side.

This cable is new and I didnt really take a close look to see if it already came like this.

Will the cable be fine if plugged into a regular ipod lineout?

Or did i just completely ruin my brand new cable?

Anyone? Ken?

Thanks

It should be okay. There's actually a few experiments being performed here with caps built into IC's. It really makes a difference.

yes it's okay. Your cables will just work fine. The caps inside the dock is meant for DC protection as the iMod DC current is too large.
