I recently purchased a set of HD 580's with three sets of cables, two custom cables and the third an HD 650 cable. The two custom cables sound very similar, but the 650 cable doesn't sound quite as good as either of the customs. (Narrower soundstage, not quite as transparent sounding. It's not a night and day difference, but there is a difference.) That being said, I would never bother buying actual after market "audiophile" cables, because they charge far more than they are worth. I felt the package deal was worth the asking price.
