Already? Have you been chewing on the cable or what?

 

[MRiNiCK]

no 10ft is pretty long and would like to have a shorter one when walking out.

 

[pp312]

What about just gathering a few feet of the 10' with a cable tie. Shouldn't be difficult.

Same reason why people don't use the straight cord M50 when going outside.

 

[pp312]

And that is...?

I have more problems with the portablitiy of my Shures Coiled cable to any straight cable I've ever used.
 
Why don't these companies ever send two cables, one is the stock cable which goes for about 1.2 meters, the other is an extention. That would be so much easier  then having to resolder new cables for ever pair of studio headphones I get.

I cant seem to find  the cable online. do you happen to know the name of it

 

[Slaughter]

The 595 and 598 cable "looks" the same. Part# 510626. Sennheiser is not going to sell a shorter cable though. Find someone who can solder and have them shorten the cable for you.

ohh ok.. i might as well do that

No no no. The new HD5x8 have detachable cables terminated in a 4-pole bayonet jack, they are different from the HD555/595 cables. Senn doesn't seem to sell replacement cables for the new cans yet. If they eventually do, buy one and cut it to your desired length.

I might just go to a electronic store and ask if they can make it short and see if that works. if not i guess im stuck with 10 ft of cables lol

Of course they can shorten it and change the plug, but I find the HD598-as-portable scenario highly dubious
