Thanks! I just ordered one. The price is right, the length is good and I can't hear any difference between different cables anyway.

Good deal. Let me know how it works for you. I won’t be getting mine for a few weeks.

I have one for my HD650 and Q701 and both work fine. They won't change the sound any, but they do work and seem like decent quality.

I got one for the HD650 so I could have a shorter than stock cable that ends in a 3.5mm end instead of using the adaptor to go from 1/4 to 3.5, and so I didn't have to coil up half of the long stock cable. It works well for these reasons.

I have been the owner of the 6xx for some days now ( coming from DT770 ).

Been enjoying them for the most part, but I'm kinda suprised that they are so unforgiving of poorly recorded tracks, maybe the opposite for veery poorly recorded tracks, but the kind of quality that's somewhere in the middle of great and bad is suprisingly unforgiving.
I guess it's maybe a feature of "neutrality", or maybe I'm mentally scarred from everyone talking about the veil.

Still got a lot of exploring to do with these.

I received mine today. It's a bit on the thin and flimsy side but otherwise it looks well made and does its job. The 1.2m length is the primary reason that I bought this cable.

thin and flimsy, but otherwise well made.. well I hope it holds up! Thanks for reporting back.

Haha, yes I can see that my description was a bit too schizophrenic. How about this: The cable itself is a bit on the thin side, but the connectors seem solid and well made and fit securely into the headphone sockets.

I guess it's pretty thin, bit I don't think it's really flimsy. It should hold up as long as you're not rough with your cables. I haven't broken a headphone or a cable since I was a kid.

These guys sell original Sennheiser cables reterminated with different balanced options - I got mine for £25

https://oidiosound.co.uk/sennheiser-hd-092885-balanced.html

They also make their own cables, many different options.

I've always considered the HD650/HD6XX as one of the more forgiving of poorly recorded tracks compared to something like the HD700, HD800 and pretty much any Grado. While I haven't heard a DT770 in a long time I still have my DT990 premium and to me its really unforgiving of poor recording compared to my HD650/6XX and even HD58X. I think once you hear other headphones that are even more unforgiving than the HD650 you may realize why most consider the HD650 fairly forgiving of poor recordings.
