Ahhhhhhhhhhh just discovered that these don't have detachable cable!!!!!! This is so frustrating. If the cable gets messed up you either have to do a mod, not the easiest thing to do on the world, or you have to get a new freaking pair of headphones. This is especially disappointing considered how everything else about these are so amazing, and it's just a shame that when the cables break you gotta replace the whole damn thing, knowing that all the good stuff inside are still completely functional.

tigredSame thing here. It would be an instabuy with detachable cable. 3m cable... is too long for most of my use cases.
So I'm gonna skip this. My wallet approves.

tigreda basic cable swap is far from difficult, get a soldering iron/kit and practice a bit, i have recabled headphones since i was 12(used an old wood burner iron to do my first few sets)
I find that if you need a more durable cable, cat6e works well, and is of excellent quality.
now an easier fix is to put a female audio jack on the end of the original cable(above where its damaged) then just use a quality aux(3.5mm-3.5mm male) cable below that, i have actually done this for people on brand new headphones that came with VERY long cables....(did 4 sets of jvc rx900's for a buddy a while back, he got them for his wife and kids to use on the computer AND on road trips and the like, he was tired of replacing cheap crap sets....they love it....and i made a few bucks doing it so...score ;)
anyway, that woudl be my suggestion...i have many headphones myself....have never had to recable a set from ware and tare.....i did once have to recable a set because somebody mangled the cable on me(my father.....) but, shit happens....and learning to solder is well worth a bit of effort... :)
