Oh wow, I've never seen it any other way. I retract my previous statement then! 
 
But really, how stupid are the companies that first started wiring them differently? That just restricts the convenience of swapping out a cable for their devices.

... Apple.
 
That is all.

Ha right.

Talking about 4 pole plugs and mics, where would be the appropriate forum for microphones?

  You have come to the right place.  Those are Oyaide plugs.  It looks like both are TRRS connectors (4 connections: L, R, Mic, G)  rather than the usual TRS (3 connections: L, R, G).  The plugs should run you about $20 a pop but are really high quality and look really nice.  For most purposes I think that the standard TRS will be just fine.  There are two different kinds shown in the picture as well.  A strait plug and a right angle one.  
 
Hope this helps 

Not Oyaide, those are out of China and made to look like Oyaide, i have some here.

How can you tell?

The rounded corners, the plating on the barrel and the overall finish of the product. I am also not aware of Oyaide making a TRRS plug, but that i could be wrong about as i have not had to time to keep up to date with them.

Interesting.  I didn't even notice but it looks like the barrel finish is supposed to be matte, and the edges more sharp. Pictures above to compare.  I did think that a TRRS connector was strange because I have never found one by them as well but didn't really give it a second thought.

Are these then not genuine?

Just picked up a few of these....pretty nice:

Looks like the Doublehelixcables Capsid: http://www.doublehelixcables.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=118  There are few samples out in the wild.

I don't think so.  Especially at those prices.  I don't think you will find a connector from Oyaide for less than $20 either.

Hello guys !
 
What size should I use heat shrink in cable hd 600?
 
*I am using a Mogami cable w2893

I'm just guessing, but I would think 3/8" for the connector part. It has to go over the top of the connector so the solder points aren't exposed.

What kind of wire is that that goes up through the headband? I know it's for the right side speaker, so it has 2 separate (wires? strands? idk)
 
I have to replace this because I opened the Senns all the way up, and saw that a part of the wire was exposed (probably friction in the folding joint)
 
Also, would I be able to remove that PCB to save space?
 
Also, microphones, where to talk about these?
