  You might try the small size of the Comply.

I try the small size of them with my older Beyerdynamics but they caused irritation after a while, not sure if that was due to the size of the nozzles though compared to the Shures. I am happy with the yellows I just don;t think they will last as long though.

Hey guys, does anyone have dx50 and 535 combo? What gain setting do you guys use?

I've had a great year with the 535s and now it's time to pass them on. The person I'm gifting them to is getting an AK100ii so I was wondering - any good ideas for a 2.5 balanced MMCX cable? Fidue used to make one, but it's vanished...

Ted Allen from headphonelounge.com can make one for you; copper, SPC, silver and Litz varieties as well.

If you don't need or want to go for exotic materials, this seller has a 2.5 balanced cable for the Shure SE-535 for $39.99 with free shipping. I bought one for use with my AK240 and couldn't be happier. Good solid connection at the 2.5 plug and the quality was surprisingly good.

Is this really 2.5 mm balanced? Pretty amazingly cheap!

Looks nice and thin - they didn't seam ti have a connector option on their page though... do they even do 2.5 balanced connectors?

Thanks, that's a good lead.

Yes it is balanced. I've been using it for about 6 months with no problems. This is my first and only balanced cable and I couldn't see spending $150 or more to see if a balanced connection really made a difference. There is an audible difference but I rather chase other gear, rather than "magic" cables for improved sound.

So it isn't and it is balanced? I've never had a balanced amp before, and I'm getting a bit confused here. From what you say it's a  balanced cable but not a balanced connection. I thought the cat's meow was in the connector and the cable was all the same.

It's a 2.5mm trrs balanced plug going to MMCX connectors for the Shure SE-535. If you click on the link and scroll down to the detailed description, all should be clear.

Okay thanks, I think I get it now - what you were saying is you won't go for fancy materials like pure copper or silver, but balanced was worth 39.99 for you?
 
I won't be getting the balanced amp myself, but my girlfriend will and even if the difference between balanced and not balanced is not that huge, I want her to believe it's the cat's meow. Hearing is perception and perception can colour your experience a lot.

This is the first headphone I've listened to that actually is the most natural sounding headphone. Bass extends all the way down to the depths. Nothing is exaggerated. Just a natural sound. Why can't full sized headphones do this? Nothing sounds like the SE535 except maybe the HD600 or 650 but they don't have the extension in the bass these do.

Ortho-dynamic may be ??

I tested quite a lot before going into the CIEM land but once there the comfort and sound quality are simply amazing... Well, at a slightly different price

I have a Baldur MKIII cable. Recently the cable coils awkwardly and are not what it was originally. Is it possible to heat the cable using a hairdryer if I want to get it back to its original coil? Or would the heat damage the cable?
