The first batch has landed in the UK! If you are looking for a stocking retailer please PM us.
On the cable debate, one thing that is getting over looked is what distributors and retailers will stock. It works to chose at time of purchase if direct from a manufacturers site but not when stock is already held in each territory. My ideal as a distributor would be that manufactures include a long 6.35mm cable as standard with full size headphones. Past that it would be sensible to have optional cables as discussed - short 3.5mm, balanced XLR, and 4.4mm. As a distributor I can also hold those and offer an exchange or optional purchase service for those who don't want the 6.35mm as their main cable or want another option as well. In fact we will do this with Empyrean and the short 3.5mm cable - buy it as an extra or swap it for your 6.35mm. I don't think it benefits the majority to include several different cables as standard if it just increases the cost to the customer, which ultimately it will.
Indeed not, no point having loads of cables when most people will only use the 1 that works best with their amp. Looking at your distribution method suggestion it really wouldn't be hard to have an XLR cable added and was pretty much what I was suggesting as it is what MrSpeakers does.
A swap works fine for me. And to the people like @Hifiearspeakers praising you. This is what I was asking for all along lol.
Indeed. It seemed to be a real struggle to get people to understand a very simple concept lol. I even looked up pricing of connectors and everything to make a financial comparison to no avail.
-EDIT Just an FYI if you didn't notice @esauseesaw said it would be sensible, not that they are actually doing it unfortunately. Happy to be corrected on that though? Please?
