these options are definitely within my current price range which is good i know what you mean by them needing to be modded i assume their too big on one end to fit into the slot of the mikros however how would i go about doing that? i have never modded anything before

sand the rubber/plastic housing around the terminal going into the set.

  I have a hard felt dot at the bottom of each cup as per instruction. I also have a few pics here. I added the polyfill to further smooth out the treble, I removed a bit of it after opening it up and noticed that having a bit less of it helps.

I am wanting to look into a new cable for my mikros 90s I am just wondering what my best options are and what kind of prices i will be looking at? 

The auvio cable is perfect. I got mine on amazon but it's no longer there. Here's one on ebay. I got a silver one myself

The Auvio is a nice, affordable--and "fun"--cable for the Mikros 90.
Let us know what you think of the Auvio after you get it in.

  ZW,
Which particular Belkin cables?  I have tried several off-the-rack at Wal-Mart that do not fit the Mikros 90.  Also, are you talking about an after market 3.5 male to 3.5 female [Auvio] extension cable?

PB...
Sorry for not answering sooner...out of town last week.  I found the Belkin cable below at my local W-Mart...fits the Mikros without modding.

This cable is about 3 ft long, has gold-plated tips, and works very well with the Mikros. It is also available in a longer version in a male to female configuration.
 
My suggestion to the other poster was to use an aftermarket extension cable to allow him to reach the headphone jack on the back of his computer.  He seemed to indicate that the Mikros cable was too short, and was looking for a longer male to male cable that would fit the recess on the Mikros headset end.  This is unnecessary with an extension cable as the Mikros cable would still be plugged into the headset.

ZW,
Which M to F extension do you recommend?  the Auvio?

Been out of town and on self-imposed ban. I missed my Mikros 90 thread brothers/sisters. Every time I visit here I want to buy more and more equipment. My wallet says, "no", though. Plus, the Mikros 90 is my end game for portable headphones for most genres, especially classical. It has re-sparked an old flame for me. Any recommendations for a high resolution version of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos? 

 

[pataburd]

This one looks good,especially if you like hearing the works on period instruments.

There is a(n) SACD version as well.

Thanks, Pata. I am not familiar with SACD. What equipment would I need to play and rip the music?

This is the extension cable I use on my home set-up, and on my office computer.  Inexpensive and it works.  Probably not suitable for someone with "cable envy", but that ain't me.

I paid a bit more at W-Mart for this same cable...$6.00?  Since the male end fits in the socket on the Mikros ear cup without modding, I have also bough these, removed the female end, and added a RS male plug (for source end of cable).
 

Male to female Belkin extension cable modded to male to male.  OE (black) end fits MIkros ear cup cavity perfectly.
