Hope you're right about those Cables.... I ordered a pair last night!

There's no problem with replacement cables for these, they are just standard jack connections. Use whatever you want!

The cable that I bought on ebay are 4 feet long

If you're referring to my post, the information is correct.
I use the same cable with my X1's.

Have owned this headphone for about 3 months now. Felt like posting here now just to say that i'm continously struck by how coherent-sounding these headphones are. Very masterfully designed sound in these headphones here..

I asked the same thing in the Focal Spirit Professional thread, but can anybody who owns the HP50 provide a picture of the earpad opening with a quarter inside it, taken at a straight-on angle?  I'm trying to compare ear-pad opening sizes to see if it would be a right fit for me.  The quarter allows me to have a point of reference that allows me to resize accordingly in photoshop.  Good lighting or flash is preferable so I can see the earpad vs the opening clearly.

This one is quite good, but does require an adapter for 1/4" use.

thanks, might get it. I guess 3.5mm to 1/4 cables are pretty hard to find these days.

Definitely more so than 3.5 to 3.5, and adapters are very inexpensive.

Btw, has anyone found a nice heaphone hardcase that matches these headphones well?
I would prefer something with a little better protection than the softcase provided.

Thanks

Here you go. The flash on my Note 2 washes everything out, but I *think* there is enough natural light this time of day to suffice.

Thank you.

Are those pads fraying?

Not at all, still in perfect shape. The one one I wasn't holding for the shot had a small smudge on it though. The rest is just really poor light on a glass desk.

That's a relief!
