Nothing wrong with the stock cable; its great. Just prefer a shorter cable when using my DAPs (10ft is too long there) and also have multiple balanced cables (one is a balanced, pure silver Surf Cable). Too bad the T1.2 didn't come with a balanced cable like the HD800S but the much lower price and 3.5mm connectors (didn't know how narrow they would be) to use my existing cables made the decision easier.
I guess the person asking why I need (their words, not mine) another cable obviously has no plans to use their T1.2s balanced (if they even have a pair; profile say they have the T1). Why would Beyerdynamic make the cable detachable and offer an optional balanced cable unless they knew some of us would swap the stock one?
Yeah, when I saw they were 4-pole I wondered if they'd work. Decided to try them and working perfect so far. Just finished using the T1.2 balanced with my Pono player (used a dual 3-ring cable made for my Z7s). Don't see why the stock cable wouldn't work when every other cable I have does but I'll try it and post if it doesn't work.
Please note for both T 1 (2nd Generation) and T 5 p (2nd Generation) we have three fitting cables in stock:
- 3.0 meters, 3.5 mm stereo jack, screw-on 6.35 mm jack adapter (comes with T 1, 2nd Generation)
- 1.4 meters, 3.5 mm stereo jack, plug-on 6.35 mm jack adapter (comes with T 5 p, 2nd Generation)
- 3.0 meters, 4-pole male XLR-connector for balanced use (accessory part only)
