The right side of my HD650 cable went out a few weeks ago and while i wait for a new one, I was wondering if i may be able to jerry rig it. I completely cut off the right connection end and now just have the two wires hanging out. Is there any way I could make this work for a temporary solution?

Replacement cables aren't that expensive.

Hmmm, I didn't know Sennheisers Cable problems extended to the 650's, thought they fixed em by now. Thank God my new cable made from Kimber PBJ 6 conductor cable is being made right now

After waiting on Sennheiser for 2 in a half weeks and then finding out they were on back order, I found a cable on ebay and ordered it.

Sennheiser makes great products, but their service in the USA is pretty bad. It's ok if you don't mind waiting months, but never if you need something quick like I did. Been a rough few weeks without my prized possession!

Why don't you go custom?

Becasue I don't believe in paying obscene prices for a cable.

Not until I have heard one of these ridiculous cables and heard the massive difference (it better be pretty big for $250)

Diy mode? connectors from cardas, some spc wires, a neutrik jack, some braiding and thats it

You could solder the wires directly to the posts inside the grill- very simple and reversible. That's what I did.

Covered a million times before, likely, but....
Where can I get a good value cable upgrade with a Sony 4.4 balanced Jack?
I'm not interested in paying $300 for a cable upgrade for my $200 used 650 though...

thx

If you can navigate your way through the Chinese mega-website Taobao, its a pretty good cable but does have microphonics.

Or something a little more expensive but much easier to navigate and purchase from, a sister website catered for the international market.
