One question, is it better to buy a neutrik 3.5 mm jack because i can use an adapter if i want 6.3mm, is that correct?

It could be helpful if u also wanna use ur headphone directly plugged into ur laptop/pc/dap (mp3 player) etc.
Otherwise if u only use this headphone on ur mstage then i would stick to the 6.3mm.

Easy to get a 6.3mm to 3.5mm jack as well. Best is to actually get a 4 pin XLR with an 6.3mm adapter then your covered for balanced scenarios too.

Alright,
 
bought the 1,25m balanced, 6.3mm Hifiman HE Cable.
 
I'm really curious if these extra money spent on this cable will make a difference to cheaper ones, they say it does, so we'll see. Honestly i don't have any expectations in this regard.
 
anyway thank you guys for helping me out to decide.
 
Edit: damn i just realized i bought a cable for 80 bucks

i hope it's worth it at least in some kind of way, lol.

While you know it pains me deeply to agree with you... 

 ... you're right, of course.  $80 for a cable you didn't make yourself is pretty inexpensive (hopefully not cheap) in Head-Fi Land.

Ehm, sorry my english isn't the best does that mean you paid more or less? I suppose more, right?
 
Actually it's not that bad because i've decided to sent my broken cable back to the shop where i bought them and receive probably a new one because i still have guarantee then i sell the repaired cable and keep the one i ordered today.
To be exact the cable cost me 86 Euros with shipping and such (107 dollar)

Don't swallow the Blue Pill!  Save your cash for real upgrades.  Best thing is to learn to solder.

No worries..my english is not good also

Let me refrase (say) it differently:
I guess u dont faint (fall on the floor) if its costs less the ur 86euros... so yeah..its a eeny weeny more expensive :veryevil:

And thurstonX... WT..beeeeeep....stop that! Agreeing with me? What will others think about that..WW3 will break out... So pls..act normal okay!! :veryevil: but for this once we can keep it under control..and i deephearted forgive u...but dont loose it again...

Yup. Learn to solder yourself. Make a cable for $12 using a line of mogami and a 1/4" neutrik connector. Do a blind comparison to the really expensive cables. Take the hundreds you save on a better amplifier, DAC or getting high quality music. That money will go a lot farther in those three.
