Do they sell female Sennheiser plugs so that I can plug my sennheiser cables into my Grados?

 

Kind of a odd request, but I only want to make one cable, and detach them between the two.

 

Do I have any other options?

Many people who have put Grado cables on Senn phones agree that stock Grado cables are built better than Senn cables (HD580/600/650). 

 

On that note, the only reliable way to get the female bits of the sennheiser connector is to hack up a headphone. The proliferation of headphones with one busted driver on the FS boards are a great source. I resorted to this to build the koss-heisser KSC580

 

Much better would be to build little dongles for the Senn headphones. yes its an extra few connectors, but then you could decide on a better connector - like Lemo connectors.

 

As a curious point: 

Lets agree that Senn's and Grados sound night and day different.

If a given cable makes your senn sound better, would it make a headphone that started life totally different sound better?

 

My guess its it would be like putting car tires on a motorcycle.

nikongod, I would agree, but...

 

1. I'm not a believer in cables, and I am not buying 2 cables out of curiosity. I want to DIY 99.999% silver cable and only have to fashion 1 cable to try on all my headphones.

 

2. If I, for example, do not like silver on my grado's, but like silver on my hd650s,  then I can just switch the cables around. 

 

3. Since silver seems like a better option for HD650s, I could resell it, hopefully, without losing any money since it has the connectors on it

 

With that said, I actually don't own grado's at the moment, and I certainly don't have money to spend on cables. My post was simply out of curiosity. I'll be on the lookout for broken HD series phones.

Wow, I really like those connectors, anyone know where I could find any?

 

Furthermore...

 

Does anyone have any idea where I could metal connectors? I've seen somewhere but I don't remember where, nor did it occur to me to find/ask where they came from...

Teh translation of that Taiwanese page.  Those plugs might be from cndiyshop.com, but that site no longer exists.
