[Rayman30]

What is the most cost efficient way to get a balanced cable for my HD650? since its 4 conductor can it be easily modified?

Thanks!

I bought the "OKCSC Headphones Cable Replacement Upgrade Cable with 4.4mm Balanced Plug for SENNHEISER Earphones HD650 HD600 HD580 HD535 HD545 HD565 HD265" off amazon. Really catchy name. Reterminating the stock cable should be easy enough, but having built a couple of interconnects and headphone cables myself, I'd rather just pay the premium to have someone else do it for me.

I did a similar modification on a single ended headphone cable. I re-terminated it with a 4.4mm balanced plug. I used a multimeter to figure out which cable is which and worked fine in the end. But if you're not handy with a soldering iron, it may be tricky to solder the cable ends to the plug, the connection parts are close together.

For my HD600, I bought a custom cable over AliExpress for about €25. It's 2 meters long and looks pretty good too. There are multiple options there, where you can select the plugs, cable types and length. The only downside is, the shipping takes really long.

Buy a stock cable (https://www.thomann.de/intl/sennheiser_hd_650_ersatzkabel.htm), cut the plug off and attach a Pentaconn connector.

Thanks for the response but I do not know how to do it and I am not so good with my hands! That is that I am asking for a separate 4.4 cable.

Also I have dac and amp that only have 3.5 output so I would like to keep and the 3.5 cable to rotation.

You might have a look at Hart Audio Cables.
I bought a replacement cable for my HD800. I choose one terminated with a mini xlr. This allows you to use their interconnects to switch to any termination of choice e.g. 3.5 trs, Pentagon, etc.
The Mogami cable is light and flexible, a great improvement on the original cable.
If you are in Europe like I do, you get shipping cost and import duties, adding substantially to the total cost.

Faaeal or Youkamoo makes very affordable cables. I have both and they're 15-25 bucks for the 4.4mm versions depending on length. On Amazon and AliExpress.

+ 1 on Faaeal. $16 delivered, works like a charm. Not the easiest brand name to spell though (I copied from Dunring)
