Hi
 
I have the HM-602 and I'm very happy with it. Only big problem is:
 
Not every minijack terminated headphone fits properly.
 
Small minijack plugs (G1A, OK1, MTPC, Westone ES cable) fits all fine, but when I plug my APS recabled HD650 in (with neutrik plug, I think), it constantly falls out while I'm moving around the house. The plug on my DT770 fits right in, but when I tangle the 3m cable up and put the unit in my pocket it also falls out easily. Also when I use the line out, I have a Qables mini-to-mini jack, that won't stay in. It's bothering me a lot.
 
Anyone else having these trouble?
 
It's like the weight of a good quality cable or extra cable tangled up makes the plug turn and when it turns it drops out... BAD.

I have similar experiences.  It seems it has to do with the length of the 1/8 jacks or thickness of them.  Maybe terminating with different jacks would work?

yes, that's what I'm thinking too. Do you have any idea which minijack plugs might work?
