NewFantasia Replacement Audio Upgrade Cable Compatible with Sennheiser HD598, HD598Cs, HD560s, HD598SE, HD620S, HD400PRO, HD599, HD569, HD579, HD505 Headphones 1.2m/4feet

I've ordered maybe 8 cables from NewFantasia/NeoMusicia now for various headphones and they've all been great. Beefy enough and built well enough to send the signal unhindered. Zero change in sound from the stock cables on any of my headphones including Sennheiser HD580 and AKG K712 Pro. NewFantasia/NeoMusicia are great because you can get them in 5ft which is a rare length. I'd recommend looking at these if you just need a different length cable. Audiophiles looking to get that last 1% out of their gear should probably look elsewhere. Solidly built cable. Only very slight microphonics from the nylon braid on clothing. Nothing that bothers on a desktop amp. Nice upgrade in practicality from the 9ft spaghetti cables most headphones come with. Using on a desktop setup with a Schiit Asgard 2 amp. Fits a little tighter in the headphone than the stock cable but still fine. Works and looks great on my HD598s, HD599s. These also fit the M40x and M50x perfectly as Audio Technica uses the same locking lugs as Sennheiser. I ordered one of these for my M40x as well and it works great. As for durability, don't beat on these cables. Just treat them nicely and they will work for a long time. They aren't super tough but they're fine for desktop usage. They really aren't intended or built the right way for portable use. These might not have perfect QC but when you get a good cable they're totally fine. There are several similar cables floating around the internet all using parts from similar OEMs and the ones from this seller always seem to use the best of the available parts. Especially the headphone-side end connectors. They're mass manufactured and cheap but their design means a good one is a good one. They're just copper cables with soldered ends and gold plated connectors. Not much can go wrong. I really like these. Perfect cheap upgrade to make any pair of headphones a little nicer to use.

i broke my oem cable on day 2. this one has held up great. its been a few months with it and have had 0 problems. i use it with my sennheiser hd 550 and have had 0 issues. the cable is definitely not a bottleneck. i really like the material they use the the durability it brings it. i think its a great value and i can see why its one of thr top listings on amazon. the connector also has the lock and it works great. sound quality sounds just as it did with orm cable.

I've tried a few replacement cables for my sennheiser hd 560s but this is the only one that is actually worth it. The other options ive tried are extra flimsy and anytime I touched the cable it had a chance of causing static or audio cutting out. Quality audio and well made product.

Works perfectly on HD558s. Quite a thinly wrapped cable and it does end up looping around itself quickly. Bought as a short cable to use on my tablet. Just happy to find a shorter cable as the OEM one is at least 10ft long.

Update: The 1.5m version of this cable has been going for a decade for me. I've moved twice, put an unknown amount of hours on it over the years (10s of thousands of hours per year easily). This thing connected to my Senny 558s have been my most reliable piece that I've ever owned. I've now bought a second cable with an adapter to connect to my bass Amp. Recommended now and forever. Original review: I bought this to replace that ridiculous cable that comes with the Sennheiser 558s. I needed something shorter and something with a smaller 3.5mm end (the 558s cable is huge, almost the size of a Bic lighter). I found these and they seemed good so I bought them. Pros 1. 1.5m was a good length. Long enough for use while walking or sitting at the desk, but not so long that you can jump rope with it. 2. The sound is fine by my ears. Sounds the same as the cable it replaced with no degradation or improvement. It's a cable doing cable stuff. 3. The braided cable feels of high quality. 4. There are springs at both ends to help alleviate the pressure of where the cable meets the sleeves for the connectors. I love this. 5. Fits in the locking mechanism of the 558s. 6. Comes with a 6.5mm adapter in case you still need one. I don't but I like that this cable replaces both connections just in case. Smart thinking. The adapter also screws in so it doesn't have any wiggle. 7. The whole thing just feels really high quality. Time will tell if it's durable (obviously), but on the face of it, this thing looks, feels, and acts like a seriously nice cable. Cons 1. None so far. I don't like the whole "proprietary locking mechanism" nonsense that Sennheiser uses because it makes these cables more expensive. Other than that, no problems here. Also, the braided cable makes noise that you can hear in the headphones when it rubs up against itself, but that's true for all braided cables so I didn't see the need to make it its own thing. If the cable breaks I'll come back and change the review, but for now it's everything I was hoping it'd be.

Bought this cord as a less expensive alternative to the original, which lasted me 3 years. This cord lasted about 2 months. Sound quality seemed fine at first, but the audio connection began to flicker in and out with movement of the cable. It seems like the connection between the braided cable and the plug is more sensitive than the original to being coiled or twisted. Maybe its just too delicate for my use. I would recommend the original cable over this one.

It worked very well at first, no discernable difference from the cable that came with the headphones, but I really liked having a long cable. This cable was long enough for me to go anywhere in my room. Unfortunately though, It has started to have audio cutout when moving my head at certain angles. I have had it less than a month. I do not do any awkward movements that could've caused this, nor has it been damaged in anyway - it just suddenly started having these issues.

This cable is a perfect replacement for the original one that came with my Sennheiser HD 550 headphones. At 3 meters it’s a far more practical length. The cable is braided and appears to be well made. Recommended, especially for the price.

Tengo 3 años con este cable, y hasta día de hoy sigue funcionando perfectamente y no tengo ningún problema, sigue tal y como llego, en perfecto estado, totalmente recomendable

كيبل ممتاز جودته رائعة شريته بسبب مشكلة بسماعة سنهايزر من الجهة اليسرى وحقيقة توقعت أن الخلل من السماعة نفسها لكن قلت أجرب كيبل والحمدلله المشكلة أنحلت والكيبل يفي بالغرض

Good one

Great cables. I bought these as a replacement to my broken Sennheiser HD569 headphones’ cable. At a quick test and some listening to music at low and high volumes, the cable appears to be sonically clean with no hiss, distortion or other audio artefacts which can sometimes occur with cheap cables. The build quality seems solid - with its metal plugs, fabric-looking outer sheath on the cable itself and doesn’t seem to do that ‘loopy/tangly’ thing the plastic sheathed cables do at times. The only downside to some people is it doesn’t have the in-line microphone like the original Sennheiser cable had - but that doesn’t affect me so I’m giving it five stars. Also, the delivery was quick and even with a public holiday during my delivery period, I received the cables in three days. I bought two of these cables because I was skeptical about the quality but I don’t think I’ll be needing the second cable for quite some time (unless I lose the first one).

Is what it said it was
