Hi,
I didn't believe it , when I saw that the cable of my hd800 cracked in many place with time, and there's  even bad connection problem . I don't know how it happened, and if it's a known flaw of the hd800 cable .... I didn't have such problem previously with other headphone.  Anyways I need to replace the cable, as there's no pleasure in listening  a headphone that is muting from time to time , in one side.
 
So what I need to find a replacement cable for my hd800:
- below 300$, preferably 200$
- a solid cable, with good life expectancy
- a cable that is  "professionally" made (not one of those stuff that seem to be quickly made, using a blowtorch, and then some thin plastic/ scotch to hide the soldering)
- a relatively short cable, that doesn't tangle all the time . The default hd800 cable really irritated me with the tangling.
I  don't know what is the average length of "mid-end" headphone, but something like that. Anyways I already have a cable extension , that I use for some reasons.
- esthetically pleasing ?
- as long as the cable would allow my hd800 to work properly again, I'm not much interested  by the impact of  cable on sound quality.
 
Any suggestion
thanks
