RE: Hi-End Headphone Cables

Hi Duster

Yes cables do make a similar difference in headphones as will room-based gear. IMO the differences can be more easily heard due to the nature of headphones being in close proximity of the ear and in some cases blocking other background noise.

With that said, again imo, what ever type of configuration, wire-type etc you liked with other gear seems to still be preferred 'in my case' with head-gear. Although some gear on the extremes of prices, it might not be worth investing in wire [very cheap gear] or diminishing returns with very expensive gear. For example I have some cheap IEM [Shure se215 and Sennheiser IE40] that would really not be worth investing in new aftermarket wire. And my expensive Planars the Audeze LCD-i4 that sound so good, looking at aftermarket wire is again not worth it.


YMMV.

Either way its a fun hobby, so I'm still looking into making some DIY wire for my DAP's.
