I use almost the entire cable, so any contraption or winding really wont help. Thanks for the tips though. I was more interested if there is anything that can be done to the cable itself.

I new pair of ATH-A700's were shocking the hell out of me and they needed to be replaced. I have just got a replacement and wanted to know of any decent way of preventing cable winding. I was a bit angry with the a700 because the cable tangling/winding was really bad.

I think the m50's have no soundstage, everything is right up and front. If you listen to rock, it sounds like the drums are coming out of the guys mouth.

My new ATH-A700 have a problem where the cable insists on twisting and becoming tangled. I mean the tangling is really bad, though my ath-a500 didn't do it that much and my brothers a900 do not tangle and twist at all. What can I do?

The United Sates.

I am wondering if anybody can tell me where to buy Audio Technica ATH-m50's. Id also like to buy from a place with a decent return policy, as I will be comparitng them to the A700's.

I have Shure SE210's and love them. Im not sure about Shure selling a customized unit, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

I ended up going with the A700's, and am pretty happy so far. Compared to my brother A900 via a Ibasso D2 Boa on an Ipod running rockbox with lossless media. I could say that the A900 was clearly better, and the A700 were slightly better than the A500. Though since the A500 were broken, I really...

I guess what I meant was more of a kink rather than a knot. as if the cable was bent over time and is not resistant to change. here is a pic of my AT A500's

I keep getting these kind of knots in my cloth covered cables. Its not really like a full looped knot, but instead a bend in the cable that cant be undone. How can I prevent these?

Well I upgraded the pads and it works till yesterday the 15th of December and the right side of my A500's died. I opened them up to see if I could fix them, but saw no cut or broken wires. So are there any other recommendation>?
