Dude....
Ok, whatever. For some reason it works if I take a screen shot and post that.
This is an Open Heart cable...6 strand on the X3 and an 8 strand in the Beyer T 1.3.
I really like the thicker cable I got for the T1...it feels better, the extra heft is nice. Having said that, the X3 cable works well. It's nice to have the 4.4 connector vs the 2.2 +adapter

nice. Yeah, uploading images can be a pain in arse sometimes. 'Im liking the look of T1 cable too. Will try again to purchase... Perhaps I can get one made like the T1 for the X3 and a replacement for the SHP9500 & X2HR.

worth it to buy cables or other stuff on aliexpress?

Yes. I've had good luck buying things there. The 2 cables I just got were less than $50. The quality is good for the price, they showed up in a timely fashion, etc.

Okay thank you,I take a look.

One last piece of advice, you should consider the Dekoni Suede pads for the X3. They just sound so much better with that simple addition.

How much does this change the stock sound? Like bigger soundstage, more bass, etc?

Uhhh... many people don't actually like what the Dekonis do to the sound, myself included.
I have a set of X3 that I modded and a brand new set and neither one of them likes the Dekonis, but it's been a while since I listened, so I can't tell you why.
Maybe I'll put them on my stock set and give them a re-listen.

Tried the Dekoni suede pads. Way too much bass if you are looking for a more neutral bass response. More bass than the stock pads and the stock pads already emphasize the bass too much for me.

I was more looking for a more comfortable pair of pads that I could use as replacement pads when the stock ones eventually wear out.

I appreciate the insight on that.

I use the Sixsop pads purchased from Amazon for $18.88 for the X2 and the X3. Better sound than the stock pads. More neutral bass response than the stock pads.

Thanks. I had seen those when searching on amazon but didn't give them a second thought when one of the reviews said they tried it on the X3 and it added more bass and made it boomy.

Added the X3s to my collection, and while they might have been a little bit of a stretch at the original retail price, they're a great value at their current Amazon price ($139) or sub-$100 on eBay if you don't care about warranty support (that's where I got them). Now just waiting on my Hart Audio Cable

I have two sets of these is there anyway to mod the headband so it's not so tight on my head? It looks like a piece of fabric with a pulley system in the middle. I tried using zip ties to tie it up but then it doesn't fit the same.

The metal part of the headband just needs to be stretched a little bit. You can just gently pull the headphones apart and slowly stretch it, kinda like the way you stretch it to put it on. Do this a few times until it's to your liking, or alternatively, leave the headphones in a stretched position, like on a basketball or something.

I figured I post this here for anyone interested in a pair of these cans for a really good price ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/195380967726

They are listed as repackaged new but I found out differently after seeing the amazon renewed like new pamphlet that was in the box. Either way super cheap for what you are getting for the price.
