I use them for both music and gaming. I think they are great for games. I have bumped the bass in eq and the gaming expeience is total! Added a modmic that I can remove when listening to music.

My total is around 40 USD.  I bought microphone cable with 4 wires inside it and stripped it to get the cables. Then sleeved them with paracord and braided together. It's a very common method around here and you get good wires for low money. The positive is that you can buy this cable in bulk...

Well, I'm in the making of my first cable. I live in Sweden and ordered everything from US and China. Had an old soldering iron at home. Took some time to watch some soldering videos and then got to work. It is not hard but very rewarding.

Why not make it yourself? It is really not that hard and it is a fun project. You will like the cable even more when you have made it yourself!

It says in the papers you get with it that it's no problem leaving it on. I haven't turned mine off since I plugged it in for the first time. No worries here. Have a Modi on top of it and it doesn't get too hot.

I have the he-560. I am pretty new in the headphone field and can only compare to my old Magni. Jot drives my headphones really good. It's punchy and sounds more alive than my old amp. In the process of building a balanced cable.

Pair them and do a 6 wire braid

I might have to rethink my project. I just got my headphone cables on the mail and tried to do a braid with the microphone cable. Due to the thickness of the mic cable the braid ended up beeing really thick. Maybe it will be better to attatch it to the side of the braid instead of inside as...

  Yes, the mic cable is really thick, over 2mm. I tried to do the looparound but it was hard to get it tight. Rather sure that I'm gonna be ok. Thats good to know someone else has tried it. The reason I want a 2.5mm connector is that I use my headphones for other things as well and want to...

I'm making my current cable to the headphones I use at my computer. A Hifiman He-560 with a Modmic attatched to it. Currently the mic cable hangs beside my headphone cable and everything is a mess, so I'm thinking of including a mic cable in my braid, and putting a 2.5mm jack on the cable by the...

I was just on my way to send an email to them when I discovered my mistake, but saw that it has already shipped. Honestly, the paracord from this site is not that expensive since you can order bulk, so maybe I'll order both 100 and 425 and use the one that fits best. It's not a bad thing to have...

crap. In all haste I ordered the wrong cable. It is the one  http://www.redco.com/Mogami-W2534.html which is AGW 24. If I read the data correctly it is 1.6mm in diameter. Exactly the same as Paracord 100 so that will be a too tight squeeze, or does the paracord expand when you push it together...

Ok thanks! I will be able to build my own cable for about 35 euros, so then it will be very worth the time and money.

I can't get the 95 Paracord here. This is my alternative; http://www.ebay.com/itm/3mm-New-Tight-Braided-PET-Expandable-Sleeving-Cable-Wire-Sheath-17-Color-/252511003776?var=&hash=item3acad42480:m:mp6gRC3itOFMfM8etnbHQMQ Can't be too bad eh?   Edit: Found paracord 90. maybe too small...

hmm ok. So how about this, that is supposed to be awg 24? Is it too thick? http://www.redco.com/Mogami-W2534.html   I've looked aroud internet but it's not possible to order in europe in bulk and any other way they are all way more expensive.
