Im pretty hard on cables , I wear and use my headphones alot.
My biggest problem is that eventually the cable gives up from so much use.

heres the question i figured the Super.fi 5Pro have a cable that is replaceable.
Is this a good headphone to buy for my next headphones . I was also interested in other similar headphones but the cabling problem seems to be covered with Super.fi 5Pro's


Is this right

Well, what earphones do you use now? The Super.fi 5 Pros do indeed have replaceable cables, and those cables can be had for $19. They also sound excellent.

I'm afraid your question is a little vague without providing your current earphones.

while i have many headphones the problem is with the portable use while at work. I have worn out er6 and some koss cheapies.

so i think that i can get some Super.fi 5Pro and not have the worry about cable problems down the track.

thanks

If I were you I'd buy the $40 Westone ES2 cable, and modify it if you need to replace the cable.

Much more comfortable, better sounding IMHO!

The SF5 Pro cable is really sturdy. I can't imagine it breaking on me, but if it does, I will give the ES2 cable a shot probably.

Sorry if this seems a silly question, but how are the Westone cables more comfortable?

I'm gonna take a guess...but I think the Westones would probably be more comfortable, because they don't have that sort of annoying memory wire, and it's a braided cable and it's more flexible. Also, I've learned that it tightens the bass up and gives it a warmer presentation...probably why Westones are known for a war presentation
