Where can I find cheaper cable alternatives (both 1/4" and 4-pin XLR) for Fostex TH900MK2, Klipsch HP-3 and Audeze LCD-2?

I already have the "fancy" SE and XLR cables for TH900 and "fancy" XLR for Audeze LCD-2, but I'm interested in very well-made but not silly-priced alternatives. The TH900 cables are ridiculously long anyway, not convenient at all.

The cables for TH900 and LCD-2 were very expensive; I got them a long time ago. The Klipsch HP-3 XLR cable is also very expensive so I haven't bought it.

My understanding is all 3 headphones have individual proprietary connectors.

The Fostex TH900MK2 connector looks very similar to the one used for the HD600/650. If they're the same, then you can buy HD650 cables on AliExpress for around $40. Like this one or this more premium one

The HP-3 seems to be using standard 3.5mm (TS pinout?) connectors, so something like this should be compatible.

Here's an XLR cable for the LCD-2. There are many more like it. Simply search for "lcd-2 xlr cable" and sort by orders.
