I dropped my HD800 and broke one of the connectors. Senn did sell me a new pair of connectors...in case you want stock.

I was going to suggest using the stock connectors that came with your HD800, using mogami/canara/belden/whatever for wire, and going to the nearest elementary school to find a kid that will braid your cable in whatever special geometric configuration for a lollipop and a pack of pokemon cards.

Little late on this question probably but Amazon Warehouse is legit. I've ordered quite a few used products through there (headphones, rollerblades, etc.) and I've always been very impressed with the condition.

For what it's worth, I would go for the one that's "Used - Very Good" with the description "Item may come repackaged."

Yeah, I'm hoping the return units were from someone who only got a partial picture of the HD800 from the HF HD800 appreciation thread - and upon receipt - went WTF? It's a fricking face-tweeter - and returned it back to Amazon.

Exactly. Not to mention you can just as easily return them to the warehouse if you don't like their condition, IIRC.

Do you have something against the stock cable? Since I got my hd800s i thought the cable was pretty nice on them. I had justin reterminate it with a 4 pin xlr for me. I was looking at the norne cables though. I'll have to email Trevor again.

The stock cable is indeed very nice. Much higher quality than most people think. When I owned the HD800 a few years ago, I re-terminated the stock cable. However after some fairly recently comparisons, I do not like the sound of silver over copper. At least not for longer lengths.

I don't have extensive hd800 cable comparisons under my belt but I always felt the sonic changes in hd800 cables were not as drastic as other phones like an Audeze or even the hd6x0's. Surely Anax mod is more bang for buck. Seems to suggest that the hd800 cable is at least a solid performer.

Getting a SE amp so I needed something besides the stock cable. Talked with Ted and just ordered this:

6', HD800, OCC Litz, Black sheathing with heatshrink Y, heatshrink covered HD800 connectors (like my balanced cable), Oyaide rhodium 6.3mm (looked the best)

Here's pics of my balanced cable. This one will look the same except the plug, of course. These were taken a while ago when I still had the Bryston.

And apparently he's already making it and will ship it tomorrow morning.

Service!
