When all you recable guys did your recable, how long did you make the cables from connector to entrance into headphone?

Some take longer than others, but in general it takes me close to an hour for a recable, but that excludes braiding if the wires if needed.

Here are some new high-end LODs:

I was referring to cable length, not time taken.
Sorry if my original post was misleading or poorly worded

Oops! my bad, I read it wrong, not your fault!
It depends om the purpose of the cable, if it's for portable, I go for 1,2 ~1,5 meter.
If it's for home use, I go for 2,5 meters at least. The long cable is handy for mobility and it needs to be flexible.. Don't want to chain yourself to your desk via your headphones

upon selling some of my 4-pin headphones, I learned that some people still haven't switched to this superior termination!!!

I did not have the heart to cut and reterminate the lovely moon audio cables, so I had to make some converters for those who purchased my headphones:

For portable, I measure from knee to ear.. maybe a couple inches more.
For full sized, I usually do 6ft or 2m.

oh, it's just plain old techflex. Black 1/4 inch.
I just pulled it really tightly because I hate the look of loose techflex, and it feels more solid.

Here's my first ever DIY cable, soldering the 3.5mm plug was a nightmare but got there in the end-



Cable is "Proel" high resolution interconnect cable
Terminated with Neutrik 3.5mm and Neutrik RCA connectors.
