It makes a sound when two cables (after y-split) rub against each other.

Or just moving the cables in general will make a noise too.

heatshrink is often even worse - i personally use cotton "tubing" or rope that you can pull the middle out of.  I almost never use heatshrink unless its absolutely necessary, or if its only going to be internal, like to help keep too solder joints from ever touching.
 
to me this is the best way to make cables..   light, flexible, soft, and no microphonics at all
 
and to me this style of cable also looks the best.. but again.. just my opinions

Looks like the practice recable I did to an old set of Sonys a long time ago.
 
 

@Mad Max: hahaha wow. nice job. Is the cable twisted all the way up?

Two twisted pairs twisted together.

Hmm thats a different approach. Never seen that before. well very nice. I'm thinking about recabling some philips shs5200. anyone think its worth it?

What brand of connectors did you use?

Neutrik for the (blurred) Mini-xlr, off-brand ebay-tastic 3.5mm as it was the only one I could find with the thread for the 6.3mm adapter.

hmmm, i really liked the blue color of the canare though, if i keep it and put the techflex over it, will it be really heavy? i would really like to keep the canare but i also want to use the headphones as something to walk around with so would it be a problem?

Mogami 2893 is very flexible - I used it for a 6 feet 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable I made last night:


It's available in black, blue, red, green and yellow from Redco Audio.
 
Another cable from last night:

Mogami 2534 w. black "Clean cut" Techflex, a much tighter braid than regular Techflex. Softer and more flexible too. Neutrik 1/4" to Cardas HSPC plugs.
 
And I finally finished that USB to Mini-usb cable:

Orange Mogami 2534 w. black 1/4" Techflex, ebay plugs and 3:1 heatshrink. Mini-usb plugs are hell to solder.

Does anybody know where to get Calrad connectors in the EU? I can only seem to find US retailers 
 
I'm looking for this connector: http://www.ace4parts.com/Products/RIGHT-ANGLE-35MM-4-CONDUCTOR-METAL-PLUG__30-257.aspx
 
A 4-conductor angled 3.5mm jack. Any other suggestions?

Heatshrink is indeed even worse. Bare wire is better or cotton or nylon.

I wish I had a suggestion for you.  That plug is so hot.
 

^  the only other place that i know of that sells that connector is markertek.com.  In case you arent aware, this connector is Monsterous in size... i own some.. here is a photo I took that shows you how big it really is.. its even dwarfing the viablue... its also substantially heavier than all the others pictured here.  built like a tank though.
 
btw, this thread and others have posted searches for right angle 4 conductor mini plugs, and no one has come up with anything except some uber cheapo plastic style connectors... other than that, they dont seem to exist.  even straight ones are hard to come by.. the one second from the right, also from markertek, is the most commonly used.. Every "pro" cable i have seen that used a 4 conductor used that plug.
 
the only way someone might get a right angled 4 conductor to work would be to find a plug end that could be crammed into a neutrik or something like that.  If i had more disposable income i would experiment with this myself...  There would be a pretty large market for this type of connector, especially once the JH3A is finally released
