Great cables!
 
is the MMCX difficult to solder?
Looks so small...
 
May I ask where did you get the male connectors?
 
I'm waiting for Pure OCC silver cable, bought on ebay, around USD20 per 10 feet...
 
I did previously a cable with the wires from the canare l-4e6s. Very microphonic as well. How can we avoid that?

 
mmcx not hard to solder, really simple with the centre pin as signal. Tin the wires and prongs of the connector, then just apply heat with the soldering iron for it to solder. Microphonics is dependent on the insulation material, wearing behind neck and over ear usually removes microphonics.
 
  Very nice cables! Are those Oyaide 3.5mm plugs?

 
They are replicas I purchased off ebay here, 20 pieces for $23.99 and they work great

Here is my first cable and post! I made a new cable for my HD 25 Aluminum's. I only use them for DJ'ing, so I wanted to keep single side entry. I had to run the + and - for the left cup separately, one covered in heat shrink in each of the two head band plastic channels. I used an Amphenol 1/4", Cardas Senn plugs, Mogami 2534, and paracord:

Sick leave...
 

 
While making the TRS to mini XLR cables, I mixed up the left/right wiring and had to fix it. It's good that those simple 1USD on eBay mini XLR female jacks have enough space to fix the wiring even after the shrink tubing was placed. I found a very helpful page in the process that makes wiring TRS to XLR easy and prevents any mistakes.

This is my contribution! Nice tough thick cable for the D2k.

Nice looking color, is it gold plated wire?

Nah, it's just OFC, nothing as fancy as gold-plated wire. Stuff was really nice to work with though and so was the plug! The cable is a bit stiff though but it's so durable that it makes up for it.
