I'm considering getting the HD600 cable from Cardas.

Can someone please explain to me how I:

1--remove the original Sennheiser cable and
2--connect the Cardas cable?

Thanks!

rtsy,

Its simple.
Just grab the connector ends sticking out of the HD600 and carefully pull them out. It will take quite a hard pull but don't worry, its mean to be removable.
Once out, then push the Cardas connector ends in.

be carefull when plugging in the cable...be sure the letters on the cable plugs R (right) and L (left) are facing outward (away from your head) when plugging in the cable...the two metal prongs on the plug are slightly different widths and need to be plugged in the correct way

Does Cardas make a cable specifically for headphone or do they just fit one of their speaker cables/interconnects with a 1/4" headphone jack and the connectors for Sennheiser?

Thanks for the responses!

squirt,

Thanks for pointing that out. However, my Cardas cable does not have the L/R letters on the cable plugs (my Cardas are first generation, I believe). Nevertheless, you should be able to see the difference in width of the pins and line them up with the socket holes in the HD600

Either that or they should be colour coded in someway. Red=Right for example...

Not the very best way, but I must say, it works.
