jezz that's true
Yeah but why pay $180 for it. That's pretty steep. You can have someone here do it for pretty cheap. You can get the headphones new on Amazon for $99 and I've modded these for $35 including shipping (plug).
Here is a pic of my M50 detachable cable mod for my M50s. Very clean and rock solid with this connector:

Wow i had to register to address this post; it looks fantastic. Im about to do this mod and im looking for the right chassis and if that fits as nice as it looks in that photo, i think ive found the right one. How did you go about affixing it? Did you need to bore out the hole in the housing to fit it through at all?
TIA

It has been over a month since I modded my cans cause I was too noob for pic permissions. I don't recall having to enlarge the hole at all, however, just like most of the detachable connectors, you do have to remove a small plastic peg and some of the plastic driver support ring to accommodate. It also helps to make a small channel in the white baffling for easier reassembly. The nice thing about this connector is it has a larger ring on the outside and screws down on the inside making it much more stable than the other connectors (and I ordered like 7 different ones to try them out). Hope that helps...
Much appreciated levictus. I'm not terribly worried about modifying the insides of the headphones, but i'd like to avoid hacking up the hole through which the chassis goes. Yours looks unbelievably clean so I think i'll be going with that one. Did you use any glue to fasten it in place? Does the 3.5mm plug fit snugly in it/not too loose?
Thanks again.
It work great!! I had to resolder it twice because the headphones where only carrying out the instrumentals and all vocals were quiet. I would suggest unsoldering the wires completely and replace them with your own wires so they accept solder. But otherwise I'm very impressed by the quality
