Hi everyone, I'm currently making my first cable and have a question about the sennheiser connectors. if you are looking at the side of the connector that faces outwards when wearing the headphones, is the signal on the left or right connector? I don't currently have my stock cable to test with a multimeter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of the two pins is thicker than the other.  That is the ground pin.

The thicker pin is the postive one. It will be on the left as you hold the speaker in front of you as it is facing down.

No, that's the ground (or negative).  Check a stock cable (HD25/HD580/HD6x0) with a multimeter if you disagree.

Mad Max is right. Thicker pin in ground/negative.

as long as you wire them both the same it doesn't matter.

nikongod wins the prize for the most correct answer. Thank you. I have always wired them with the big pin postive and as long as you do it the same way it will always come out right. The reason I wire them this way is because I have taken them apart and that is the way the stock cables are wired. But either way will work as long as they are both the same.
