Instead of using 65 dollers on a worse looking cable than the original which also doesn't change the sound, donate those money to doctors without borders

RayFNo one disputes that balanced cables change the sound on some headphones. I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. Nothing to do with price. If you took your stock 6XX cable shipped off the 1/4in and soldered on a $3 4pin connector, that would change the sound equally to this balanced cable.

Maybe for you, but not for me.
I have the 6XXs and purchased the Van Damm balanced cable to go with them. I could hear no difference between the Van Damm cable and the OEM Sennheiser cable when each was connected to a Jotunheim.
I wanted to hear a difference (I paid $70 to hear the difference), but there was no difference.

RayFDisagree. I A/B tested my set on my X7S by using a 4pin to 1/4in adapter to switch as fast as possible, and I can tell a substantial difference between the two. That is not something that can be said about other headphones I've done the same test on such as the HE-4XX and Ether Flow C.

It's common to confuse the change in volume with a change in the sound, but it's only a change in volume.
In the old days, it was thought that you could prove a person was a witch by casting them into a pond. If that person was indeed a witch, he or she would float. If they weren't a witch, they'd probably just drown.
I propose you wear a set of balance cables and I throw you in the same pond.
If you float, I was wrong.

RayFIt is not a volume change. I changed it to balance it. And like I said, I don’t think it changes all headphones.

sergeyuThat’s not it. I adjust the volume to equal. I know louder sounds better.
