Thanks for taking the chance! Please post your impressions. I tried to carve a 2.5 mm into the HD 598's input and the results were horrible

Dont. Just looks cooler. Which more often then not is all a "higher quality" cable offers. This one is just priced where they all should be.
I for one have the Sennheiser short cable and am not impressed. The Sennheiser short cable is a little "gummy" to the touch and has pretty bad microphonics. Also, I couldn't get the 2.5mm plug to fully twist and snap into the headphone jack.
If my cable is indicative of the general quality of the Sennheiser short cables, then not a high bar to clear for the one on the eBay link.
Wow, microphonics in a cable?! I have the short Sennheiser cable as well and mine locks in the same as the one it came with and sounds the same to me too.
Microphonics in the sense when the cord rubs against itself, the rustling noises would transfer to the ear cups. This was due to the tackiness of the rubber in the short cord.
Hallo. I finally decided to buy my own 598's. My last setup were: Teac HP-11 + Audigy X-Fi bought long long time ago. After buying new PC I now need new headphons + new sound card. After reading few reviews my choice are 598. What sound card would you recommend? Now I'm running on onboad sound from Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and I doubt it will be enough for 598's. I'm going to use 598's for gaming + music. What else do I need to use Dolby Headphone in games?
Just to make sure: Will I be able to connect 598's to my old Denon PMA-860 (http://www.classic-audio.com/denon-pma860-p-496.html) without causing any harm. I use it with my CD player - Pioneer PD-S801 that's why it's kinda importand to me.
I'd appreciate your help. Best regards.
FINALLY! A reasonably priced higher quality replacement cable! And OF COURSE RIGHT after I bought the shorter Sennheiser one! LINK
I just ordered a 1.8m one. Ill post back when it gets here.
Where's the cheapest place to buy these? Is it worth it to buy it new on Amazon? Had the hd558's and im really interested to see how these stack up. If anyone wants to do a trade for their hd598 for my k550 or a900x then pm me.
