I would agree with the SW22 being preferable as Ultrasone headphones tend to be on the brighter side and the SW will flesh out the bass and smooth the treble a tad which is a good thing IMO. Regarding price, the headphone cables come standard at 6ft and the earphone cables are standard at 4ft. Also, I think you are confusing the different Hydra 18 versions; there is an 18awg IEM version which is 2 18awg cables which are split internally (overall 21awg per conductor) then there is an 18awg headphone version which is 4 separate 18awg cables. This is double the amount of material for the headphone version verses the earphone version so explains the rather sizable price difference. Hope that helps.
Thanks that helps a lot. Fairly new to cables so all advice welcome
I was considering the hydra because I actually found the tribute 7's a touch bass biased and also has quite a wide soundstage which I didn't want to change to much. Then again, I'm basing that on moon audio cables which have probably changed the sound anyway and content wise has gold in the cables too. Sounds like I'm having an argument with myself!!! Right, will go for sw as originally recommended
