26 is around the smallest you can get before it starts to get very hard to solder.

Finally got my hands on some right angle switchcraft plugs (and paid a fortune for them) and some 26awg SPC cable.

Should have braided the cables a little tighter, but was too hurried to make this work, but ultimately, got this done.  Very flexible, sounds great, the problem now is I have a whole stack of right angled plugs and cables left.

Where can I buy a pair Sennheiser type female two pin connectors (the socket that is in the headphone itself that the cable is being plugged in)?

Not sure that you can, since the socket is integrated with the driver unit.

Which model of headphone? Sennheiser uses at least two different connector types that I'm aware of (HD 25/600/650/etc. and HD 800).

HD25/600/650 and other HPSC, the female port is just a pair of twisted wire which will come in contact with the connector. I will try to look for a picture, so my guess is that no one is selling them.

here is the pic from this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/590995/some-diy-mods-for-the-for-the-sennheiser-hd25-1-hd25-13-hd25-c-hd25-hd25sp

HD800 female is being sold in ALOaudio, bought a pair last year, Im not sure if they are still selling them.

Any suggestions for a square connector that can work for headphones?

What?

Doesnt look DIY but its a DIY Pair Oyaide SLSC 4N Silver RCA + FTVS-510 5N Silver Coaxial Cable ~3ft using WBT Solder. need to buy bigger transparent shrink tube so i can shrink the ends lol 

I nearly bought the Tunami Terzo RCA pre-made pair but I might as well go silver!

and yes I'm a sucker for Oyaide, right next to it is an Across 750 which is premade by Oyaide which I have been using for the past year or so :)

gotta love making rca with coaxials after making a few cables that required braiding, those took quite a while especially braiding 1M+ cables.

If you bothered to spent so much money on nice plated and knurled connectors and pretty braided shield cable why use ugly heat shrink over it?
