Just curious. I've heard grado stock cables are pretty decent as well as the Denon D5000 and Sennheiser HD650.

D5000 is an excellent stock headphone cable.

The Wide format Low Capacitance PC-OCC Stax cable (used on the SR-404, 4070 and SR-007MKII) is an excellent headphone cable.
Flexible, durable, low profile, and makes the 'phone sing.

I like the look, feel and sound of the rugged Grado cable, but they drop the ball somewhere around the Y connector. Brand new they already look like my dog got to it.

ATH-W5000 has a neat one.
Denon D2000/5000 probably the worst ergonomic.

For durability I've been very impressed with the cord on my RP-21s. I've beat the hell out of it - shut in cabinet doors, run over with a wheely chair, etc - and it's got nary a blemish on it, let alone some kind of change in functionality.

Definitely Westone. I wish all IEMs used Westone cables.

I have read quite a few experienced members stating that the 650's cable is not good. While it gets the job done, its far from being considered "best stock cable".

What about Beyers DT880? I never peeked inside the cable on one, but based on what I've heard they benefit from recabling the least because the stock cable is already very decent.
