It is my understanding that many companies offering to recable your headphones do this with a 3 pin XLR plug (to make them 'balanced'). I was told that this doesn't infact make much of difference (and not 'balanced' at all) and that it would be smarter to use a 5 pin XLR plug. To give the driver its own plus & minus and its own common contact for the shielding of the headphone for a much cleaner connection. This is what I was told atleast (I'm not a very technical guy sadly). However, if this would be true, then why do so many companies that recable headphones do this with 3 pin XLR plugs and why do most headphone amplifiers use 3 pin XLR connections aswell?
Thanks in advance!
