I recently ordered a HD 650 replacement cable, since it was cheaper than the HD 600 replacement cable on the sennheiser website and looked a little thicker. My question is, will I need a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor (Audigy sound card has only 1/8" jacks) with the HD 650 stock cable i bought, or does it come with one already? The reason why I'm asking is because I'd rather not have even more idle time when the cable arrives at my door with no adaptor, rather get everything up and running asap

.

If you bought the cable as is, it won't come with the adapter (which is a separate item anyway).

You will need to purchase an adapter, Sennheiser does not include it with the HD650 cable.

I guess I'll order the grado adaptor from headroom for $15...Are there any other adaptors besides these? I couldn't find an adaptor on the sennheiser website using their parts search.

You can order the Sennheiser version. Call them and ask for part number 092595. It should be around $5 plus shipping, but was on backorder the last time I checked.

Is this Sennheiser connector a hard extension adaptor or a flexible cable sort of adaptor like the Grado adaptor (sorry for being so vague)? I'm asking because a hard extension that may result in an elongated plug that might cause extra stress on the plug tip.

It is a cable adapter. It looks like this:

They are a little unsteady with their prices on this part. I used the e-mail on the website and got two separate e-mail replies in the same day. One stating that the item was $8 and another stating it was $5. Both e-mails came from Eric Palonen of Sennheiser from different e-mail addresses. I still have the e-mails in my inbox from February.

I can't believe they would change the price so drastically to $15. Lame.
