While the pins are the same, the insertable cable ends on my HD 58X is not the same as my HD 580. Question: will this cable fit the Massdrop/Sennheiser HD 58X? Its cable sure looks like a HD 600 but I do not have one to compare.
Thanks!

SandifopI have a HD650 cable that I used with both my HD580 and HD58X. It should all be the same. Also, they go in only one way, if you didn't know already, with the L and R label facing the outside.

AftermanInteresting. Thanks a ton for taking the time to reply.
Is your HD 580 a Precision or a Jubilee? The source of my question is this: there is no way the molded plastic that holds the pins for my HD 58X will fit in my HD 580 Precision (pre-Jubilee). I know there were changes between HD 580 Precision and Jubilee but I don't know if those changes include a complication for cable connection compatibility between the 58X and 600. Maybe the 58X has changed. Don't know but if you have a Jubilee then I have reason to believe yours is the same as a 6XX and the cable should work on my 58X also. If you have a precision I suspect a difference in the 58X specs in various runs.
I look at your answer and it makes sense but by Massdrop not listing the 580 Jubilee or 58X as compatible models they made me a bit timid about this $160 drop.

AftermanFrom Cardas, agreeing with you: “Yes I believe these all use the same Cardas HPSC plugs. If for any reason they don’t fit we could reterminate them for you or Massdrop could do a refund.  Cheers, Brian Von Bork Cardas Audio”
Thanks Afterman & Brian.

SandifopLate reply but my HD580 is later production. But they all (HD580, HD600, HD650, HD6XX, HD58X) use the same plug. It might just be a manufacturing defect from the plastic being slightly thicker or what have you.
