In what aspects it is affecting the sound? A-B comparision that you wanna share?
Thanks!
I'd like to think it's my imagination, but it's definitely not. I haven't done more than an hour of comparisons, but the cable is such a noticeable improvement that I don't have any interest in using the old cable anymore. I still think the differences are not very subtle. Not huge differences, but enough for almost anyone here to tell the difference. Like maybe a 5-10% difference, but it's hard to say. Good enough to justify a $30 purchase! I liked the differences so much last night that I ended up listening to my K702 for nearly 5 hours!
The first thing I noticed was how much more detail there was. Not a lot, but the detail it had seemed to be a tad easier to hear and very slightly more forward sounding (I think that'd be impossible, but that's what my ears heard!). Still not like using the K601 and ATH-AD2000, but now more acceptable for gaming. Previously it felt like for gaming all the detail and vocals were a bit distant and this kind of ruined the experience for me. I have no clue how on earth a cable could change this. I still don't prefer the K702 over the ATH-AD2000 but the K702 is now perfectly acceptable for gaming. That little extra bit of detail helps a lot. I should do a footsteps test between the two. For that the difference is probably very, very subtle or not even noticeable at all.
The sound seems slightly more clear. It feels as if there is slightly more bass, but that's probably just my imagination there, but I'd have to do more testing.
Basically it's very, very difficult to put into words the differences between the cables. Again, not a super huge difference, but definitely very noticeable. I'm going to do more comparisons for myself tonight. It's really not worth it for me since the cable is so cheap and I like all the improvements. Feels like my headphone got a slight upgrade for very little money.
