I did as you asked and it's been a week with no reply so I'm guessing it will take some more time.

You can find similar cable to mine on eBay or aliexpress, search for silver plated headphone cables.

My 5cent: for orchestra/classical/web content I really like AQ Nighthawk for those, X2 does an ok job but the NH can really seperate instrument beautifully in turn you could hear everything clearly and it has less soundstage which makes it sound alittle closer but still is a semi open headphone...

So I got around making a silver coated cable for my hp and damn the sound signature is completely different from copper, I would say its somewhat brighter and the bass feels different, dunno if its better or worse but Im liking it. Need to go back and forth to find out and ill report my findings...

The shop which is was bought from told me its most likely better to just buy a new/used one cause it's going to be around 200 bux for the repair.

So after about 2yrs of use my headband gave up on me and luckily for me it did not pierce anywhere into my body when it came off. From what i noticed in the inside of the swivel the metal rods which were connected to it were welded, but not so good on my unit but it could be better on yours...

Just throwing in my 5cent.   For me, m50 were too sweaty, the clamp were too tight and I could not listen to the hp more than about 30-45mins at a time. The sound quality were good but the hp itself were not comfortable, some ppl had to stretch it to loosen it up and bought the brainwavz pads...

Cool, thanks for the clarification, now I need to find time to braid my occ silver wires :)

I've always wondered why it's important to ground the housing, cause some of mines aren't an they sound just fine.

1. Fostex th500rp - I just love these cans with xonar STX, I actually eq more bass to them. 2. B&W p7 - my travel cans when I'm outdoors, just love em. 3. Philips x2 - my go to gaming cans, love the soundstage and in ur face bass. 4. AQ Nighthawk - good overall, excellent for classical and web...

  wth I made another one and this time the braided cable is wrapped in ptfe tape 2 times, dunno if its my imagination but this cable sounds less bright than the other 2.

I would happily lend you a set if u lived in Oslo :p

  Just made two cables for portable use cause the stock one is way too long, interesting enough these sounds brighter. Same cable type diff connectors still more or less same sound, they are signal wires made out of copper and braided :)

    My first attempt on diy cables for my headphones.

EQ is a very good way for a quick fix, I have xonar STX but I like xfi to o2 the best with my x2, then I change different size of pads depending on my mood. Leather pads without the fabric covering the drivers helped somewhat to bring out more clarity to the HP. This might not work for you but...
