You need a pair of 3pin male xlr to 3 pin female mini xlr?
Please clarify what you need plugging in from what to what. Then we can better help you find appropriate cables.

Yes, do you need interconnect cables or headphone cables? 
 
if it is headphone cables, you might be able to get an adapter for your existing cable.

I need two 3 meter long hedphone's cable with 2 x xlr 3 poles(one for hifiman and one for audeze),for interconnections i already have a pair of Snake audio river balanced cables that i use between exasound E22 and the two CMA800R in mono mode. 
The original Audeze cable is too short and for the hifiman i don't have a balanced cable so i prefer to buy one already with two balanced connector and don't use adapter.

do your research.
 
there are a few headphone cables makers here that would be able to make such cables (I'm pretty sure you might already have received PMs from one or two). unless you can DIY the cables yourself, the best thing is to send them a PM asking exactly what you need.
 
Personally I'd go with WyWires cable. It's not cheap, but it has a good return policy in case you're not satisfied. bear in mind they're in the US, so on top of shipping you've to pay import tax.
 
Toxic Cables is in the UK, and has a good record for quality/performance.
 
Forza Audio Works is also in Europe, and makes good quality more affordable cables.
 
I don't really know of cheaper cables. someone else may help you with that.

If you want cheap cable, maybe you can try eBay.
I think I saw some sellers using the stock Mogami / Canare cables to custom-made the Audeze cable.
Not sure about Hifiman as Audeze uses mini-XLR plugs which are plentiful and doesn't cost a bomb like HD800 plugs.

I just received an awesome balanced cable for my he-500s from the headphone lounge. Ted does amazing work for a very fair prices.
