I think it has a removable cable, look at the picture with the accesories. You can see another cable there

 
You are right!  Looks like it might be a standard 3.5mm plug.  That would make things so easy.  No way I can afford them, though.  I'm still saving for an LCD-2.

I hope these will be 300~400$ then i could be able to buy them for portable use

Never mind of the cable's removable, you'd need to change it to dual entry for the real retro style.

This headphone http://www.head-fi.org/gallery/image/view/id/674029/album/686158
and fraggler's cable = jizz in the ear cups. Both of them.
Make it so somebody!

 
Actually that would be incredible, I think Sennhesier need to hire Fragger or something.  I think Senn dropped the ball with their cable and connector for that headphone IMO.

hi
 
Thinking of doing my first cable and recable (just on my cheap focalprice one) with Navships cables (26AWG)
 
(Ive skimmed through this thread from page 510)
 
I have a number of questions:
 
1) Is a Y-splitter necessary? what do you do when there isnt one?
2) Can anyone recommend me a 3.5 jack that will work with a case on? (it seems like all the high quality ones that people like here are massive)
3) Does the material of the 3.5 plug matter?
 
Thanks so much

1) No, you can use some heatshrink.
2) The newer 3.5mm Oyaide jacks should work, can depend on the size of the case.
3) As long as it's of good quality, it should not. I personally try to avoid anything nickel plated.

1) In addition to nothing and heatshrink, you can also use any cylinder of appropriate size, including a spare barrel from another connector.
2) You can also try a Neutrik 3.5 (the right angled ones might be best) if you don't want to spend $15-20 on an Oyaide plug.  Not many plugs specifically try to accommodate cases.  Neutriks are compact and high quality.
3) As for materials mattering, the base metal is almost always brass due to hardness requirements.  Nickel, gold, and rhodium are the three outer coatings and are the most durable in that order.  None of it should matter sound-wise (some claim silver plating under rhodium will help the sound, but I haven't noticed anything).  You will find some variation in structural integrity and ease of use due to design, but the materials won't really matter.

 

[Toxic Cables]

The right angled and straight Neutrik will not fit the majority of thicker cases, the straight Oyaide were designed to accommodate thicker cases.

Thanks so much for taking your time to answer me Kabelmeister and FraGGleR.
 
I'm still not sure about the cables...
 
There are supposed to be 4 cables right? 2 in each ear?
 
When you solder the 2 cables on the iems themselves, how do you know which is which? or doesnt it matter?
 
And on the 3.5 jack, the 2 cables on each ears are combined right?
 
Thanks...again... (i have searched it up and i can get a proper answer (too technical or too vague))
