Sennheiser HD 600 Headphone Cable Re-termination

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

I've terminated many headphone cables, both stock and DIY builds, and find an inexpensive Neutrik NP3X-B 6.3mm stereo phone cable provides good synergy with a stock Sennheiser HD 600 headphone cable (HD 650 headphone cable). More lively sounding than the stock molded plug without affecting the tonality, and I prefer it to a more expensive Furutech plug I tried with it, as it better serves a more problematic pair of Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones that I find suffers from a "shouty" midrange depending on upstream gear, so much so that I opted for a tube headphone amplifier for a possible sonic solution, that helped to provide in addition to other upstream tweaks. The stock Sennheiser HD 600 headphone cable is a litz wire design that does not require anything more than pre-tinning the conductors in order to melt away the enamel dielectric, so it's an easy cable to re-terminate if one is experienced with soldering fine wires to more bulky audio connectors that require a careful strain relief approach.
