No good for portable though, you wind up with 4 inches of rigid plug putting stress on your jack. OK if it's coming straight out teh to of an ipod though I guess. Still will stress the jack a lot with any sideways force.

My amp seats low enough, rest of cable is on the floor, there are not much weight, no problem so far.

It's not just the weight of the cable but the leverage that 4 inches of adapter and plug put on the jack. Not only is the adapter and plug heavy, but the lever multiplies that weight. If Neutrik adapters are anything like their plugs, they weigh a lot just by themselves.

cut a woodblock at homedepot for $1.50, put under the adapter. I have Silver headphone cable, there this no reason for me to put a pice of copper in front of it. then i put gold or silver contact enhancer over the plugs. all things are good to go again.

Does anyone know where I can get a 6.3mm to 3.5 mm adaptor, like the one that came with the HD 598's. I've been looking for a copy of the one that came with the HD 598's but I can't find it anywhere. Any help please.

I think the Sennheiser repair centers should also have them.

Sorry to bring this page back up .but this is what a few people in the grado forums need, The headphones are coming out with mostly the larger 6.3mm end. And the grado adapter are about £16.... But the good quality sennheiser one only about £7. And are great for plugging into portable audio players , not to much stress. Grado are great , but very stiff for mp3 players.
