The question is build quality. With that said there's a lot less good quality right angle plugs out there. But most of the time you should be fine unless we're talking about a very high quality cable here that every little difference would make a difference.

I honestly think right angles are better, but as for my headphones themselves, I like em straight. Some IC are built with one straight, one right angle. Can someone explain to me a possible advantage of that? I don't know because I don't have one of that type.

right angle is better for portable because if you have it in your pocket then the wire and head of the adapter run parallel to the device rather than poking outward.

Like Sol_Zhen said, if they're both built as well, then there's not going to be a sonic difference. Angled connectors work best for portable gear since the cable won't stick out as far and will be easier to deal with.

well.. i did said i like straght better with portable with remote. when it's only the unit itself, "L" plug's better for sure.. when it's a in-line remote, straght makes the wire hang down smoothly

as for sonic difference, i dont think there's any...since portable units dont sound good enough to notice little difference like a plug

I had never seen one like this until today when I was looking through Meier Audio and noticed that their mini-mini cable is like this. I thought "Neat!" then "...but why would someone want one like this?" I don't get it either.

psxguy, the cables with different ends are for people who enjoy smoking crack on lonely winter evenings while dry-humping fur-covered turkeys. The decision between straight connector and 90 degree connector is just for kicks, and anybody who is so unable to choose between the two and chooses to get one of each should probably be violated by camel-riding sea-monkeys. On the other-hand, if somebody actually has equipment that would facilitate the use of a straight and a 90 degree connector, such as a home deck and a portable meta, then they are absolved from having to be violated by the camel-riding sea-monkeys.

Keep it shut, man. You don't know me; don't judge me.

Cool man.

Any possibilities of a picture of a camel-riding sea-monkey? My imagination is unable to cope. Maybe the resident writer can help.
