the cable is way too long. 10 feet is just insane.
Yess it fine when im sitting across the tv watching a movie but i wont be using these all the time for movies on my tv.
So I was thinking of cutting it to 4-5 feet.
any way to do this. Im no soldering expert also

Buy a new plug end, cut the cable to desired length, install new plug end. Voila.

plug end what do you mean by that.? the 6.3 mm

 

[glasslike]

yup.

 

[ArmAndHammer]

Yeah...or at that point if you desired you could downsize it to the 3.5mm.

yeah it was default 6.3 and came with 3.5mm..
will  the sound quality be worsened if i do this?

 

[ArmAndHammer]

From what I read there should be no difference. If you replace it with a threaded 3.5mm plug you can get a screw on 6.3mm adapter like the ones that come with the Beyerdynamic headphones (others too I'm sure) and that makes a very sturdy way to switch over to the larger plug if you ever need to.

Supposedly, it can sound better because the signal has less wire to degrade in. But I call likely bs. And don't wanna start a flame war.

You can buy some relatively cheap cable making supplies.  You should start by making yourself a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male patch cable.  Once you get one of those working it will be a piece of cake to put a new plug on your headphone cable.  
 
Need:
 
Soldering Iron
solder
Strippers
Side Cutters
3.5mm male plugs
Some fairly cheap cable(like canare mini quad)
and a multi meter.  
 
If you feel comfortable soldering you can porbably skip making a patch cable, but it's good practice, and if you can build one then a headphone cable is no problem.  Just gives a little more secure feeling cutting of the cable on your headphones.  You could probably buy this stuff for under $100 easily.

nvm guys I contacted Soloz Audio He might be able to get me a shorter cable. thanks guys

I need me some Strippers too...

Hi, does anyone here know how/where I can buy a 3 feet or so cable 2.5mm to 3.5mm that would work with (i.e. not destroy or degenerate the headphones in any way) the Sennheiser 598s?

 

[chicolom]

The important bit is the twist locking side that goes into the 598s.  If its proprietary, that side would be hard to make yourself.

 

[Slothrop]

Should I then buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord and a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. Is there a specific kind of 2.5mm I should buy so that it would lock in and have the same internal structure so as not to ruin the headphones? How would I know what to buy (Would I have to go to look at a specialty shop online or just visit an audio store?)?
