Goal:
Purchase a Sennheiser HD800S headphone cable with a ~ 1.5m cable to 6.35mm for my RME ADI 2 DAC FS.

Sources:

  1. https://arachne.audio/de/products/sennheiser-hd800-hd800s-hd820-custom-ersatzkabel-aranea-serie
  2. https://audioverse.de/produkt-kategorie/kopfhoererkabel
Requirements:
  • Length: ~ 1.5m
  • Connector: 6.35mm
  • Flexibility: High
  • Microphonics: Low
  • Splitter none
Question:
Which variant should I choose?
Is there something better? I get approx 350 EUR from a recent sale that I could theoretically waste on a cable.
There are also some cheap ones on Amazon but unfortunately with splitter and I cant see the length

Don’t waste 350 eur on a cable, you’ll regret it when it sounds identical.

Hart Audio do nice cables, I have some for my headphones, including the HD800s. Shipping is a little pricey though lately.
I know it sounds identical.
As my post stated, I need comfort and flexibility of the cable. Details you read above.
Not to mention, neither of the two cables posted were that pricy anyways.

I simply want the most flexible with the least microphonics.
 
Got these for my Focal/Hifiman headphones and Sennheiser inears. Great Value, ship to Germany in less than two weeks. Absolutely no need to spend more.

 
Highly flexible. Low microphonics.

After ordering, AliExpress banned my account and even on password forgot I cant sign in afterwards.
Cannot recommend. Now I need to cancel the charge. What a fraud.

Edit: Now changed password to simpler one and needs SMS verification.. And can sign in!
But none of the payments is accepted. Note even Credit Card. Forget it.
AliExpress doesnt work for me!

Edit2 was now able to pay via PayPal.
