Or you could just spend $7 on 6 feet of Mogami, and be done with it. Not as pretty for barewire braiding unless you get a bunch and strip it down though.
By what kind I jut meant how many wires you plan on using and if you were braiding.

That will be perfect for you. Comes in 25 ft so it is a perfect amount and will cost about $7. It is what I use. Or if you wanted to save on shipping buy a couple for future products.
I dont think 2 24awgs can fit into the headband of the HD25, so 26ft will be good..
some people prefer better cable for signal than ground. But my friend told me that when he reterminate his ALO Ref16, the SXC cable is used for ground and Copper is used for signal.
Personally, I would avoid using that wire (or any Navships wire) for headphone cables. I love it for interconnects or internal wiring, but it picks up and conducts a lot of physical noise. The teflon is thick and the stranding low relative to higher end wire, so it is a little stiffer than you want for cables, especially portable cables that will move around and flex a lot.
If you are ok spending the money, Toxic Cables is easily your best bet in the UK for high quality wire that is meant specifically for headphone cables. There are other sellers in the US that I am aware of, but most likely will be more expensive due to shipping.
ok - will go with Toxic I think - just trying to figure out if I can use different wires for grounding and what size will fit the HD25 headband now...

You really wanted that HD650 cable on there huh? Well it is a really nice cable.

What would be the best (or one of) wire for litz braiding a single entry headphone cable, 4 wire, 3.5mm jack with a U.S dealer
Sorry - confused about if 2 x 24 awgs won't fit then it becomes 26foot.. can you help me understand why if too think I need more length (how I read that)
Also - second item confused me too... 'some say better to use different, but friend uses different...' So your friend uses different and is ok??
