I was looking on ebay for a storage case for my AKG K702's and found a relatively cheap cable compared to other cabling options.. Here's the link

AKG Headphone Cable K702, K271s, K141s, K171s, K240s - eBay (item 190329656753 end time Dec-17-09 16:01:24 PST)

It looks like the plugs are silver, as opposed to the gold from the factory. So if anyone has any experience with these please let me know, I may consider getting one since its pretty cheap.

It is a DIY'd cable using a standard microphone-cable type thing with neutrik/switchcraft plugs terminated onto it. It's hard to say if the materials are any better than the stock cable. It has a thicker copper wire, the quality of the copper is likely comparable to stock.

Thanks, i'm going to pass on it then.

You could write the seller and ask specifically what the cable material and other parts are.

DIY cables are reputed (I think I read that recently somewhere on this board) to be better buys than those from commercial vendors, though with the latter of course you have a better idea of what you're getting. A replacement cable from AKG itself costs about $13 (recent quote I got from their Parts Dept.), so this might be worth a shot.
