Does anyone know were I can order this cable. I can't seem to find this cable on the Sennheiser website. Thanks for the help.

Your local Sennheiser agent will be able to supply it.

It's the cable for the HD 25-C II.

*Don't* ask for a coiled cable for the HD 25-1 II or it will only cause confusion. The HD 25-C II is identical to the -1 except for the coiled cable.

I started a post about this cable on the "cables" forum, asking if (a) anybody can confirm the cable is made from copper, and (b) what the sound differences are to the standard steel cable.

So any replies would be great!

The cable is #523877 but I cannot find it on Sennheiser's shoddy replacements shop. Thomann wants a hefty €55 for it, while I also found it in the UK for about €40. Sadly, nobody states the material. As the move from steel to copper cable makes for a significant difference in the HD25, this would indeed be very nice to know. At the price, I would pretty much expect it to be a copper cable.

Coiled cables *have* to be copper - you can't coil a steel cable.

The straight cable is steel - The HD 25 are pro. headphones and steel doesn't break.

Took 3 days but finally got this reply from thomann:

Hi there,
it is correct the cable is made of copper and covered in steel.
Many Thanks

I wouldnt let the price fool you though, here in Australia the coiled sells for $99 and the steel sells for $93, from the official importer syntec.

come on people, it's coiled, ain't that enough?

Tell me please, what are these lenghts of HD25-1 II coiled cable (see the attached image.):
1. A>B. From Y-split to where the coiled part begins;
2. B>C. The coiled part itself (just hanging, not stretched) - very approx.;
3. C>D. From where the coiled part ends to the male jack plug.

Am choosing, which cable to order with headphones. Thinking to cut 3m cable at around 1m from headphones for portable wear and leave the remaining (mostly coiled) part as an extension.

 

[limpidglitch]

getting out my ruler, just one sec.

 

[limpidglitch]

A to B: 50cm
B to C: 80cm
C to D: 15cm

 

[active]

That was QUICK! Thanks, limpidglitch, appreciate.

Wanted the cable to be copper, but no way of hiding 30cm of coiled under the shirt. I better go for 1.5m of straight steel then.

 

[limpidglitch]

No problem.

Consider shortening/reterminating the regular copper cable, you really don't want the steel one.
