I use the Q cable with my HD800's and can't think of a better cable ergonomically. I would take it over the cardas personally.

Anyone tried the Cardas Clear cable?

I've had the Cardas as well as Zeus and don't think they are worth the money. They're nice cables and all as far as build quality
and looks, but I simply ended up trying out Q which resulted in me getting rid of everything else.

Had both for a few weeks with my HD800s. Let's just say I still own my Q Cable.

So are you guys using the copper or the silver Q cables?

Interestingly, I'm finding the HD 800 stock cable is sounding just fine these days and my Moon Audio copper cable sounds a bit too subdued. Sure, recordings are a factor in the sound we hear, but so is state-of-mind which is something that goes far beyond gear. It's why HD 800 owners can still enjoy Apple headphones (I do).

Ah, I see.  Yes, VERY different.
 
But, um, why don't they list a cable for the 800?

Popularity of LCD's? Ask Steve. He does the HD800, you just gotta ask for it.

Excellent!
 
I assume the price is similar to the LCD's?
