I don't understand this drop, the stock HD800S cables are better then this and they come with the headphones.

MikeSattlerI joint this drop for the 3-pin XLR cable. My reason is to run with two balanced XLR (left and right) output sockets from my amp to a dual three-pin XLR cable, which the HD800s doesn't come along with. However I do agree that both the Sennheiser stock 1/4-inch and 4-pin XLR cables that came along with the HD800s are at the utmost of quality. I wouldn't bother going out of my way to change them unless they're damaged, if that was the case the ZY Cable drop would be a alternative replacement for a cheaper option.

MikeSattlerDespite the premium appearance and price of the wire, the stock cables are poorly engineered and prone to having the insulation tearing . Some of us just want a (relatively) cheap and functional replacement. The stock cables also share a common ground, so you need a different one if you want to use an amplifier like Sennheiser's HDVD 800. Yeah, if you are doing that, you can probably afford to spend Sennheiser's price, but it is hard to justify spending any more than you need to spend for what is essentially just a wire and they charge so much.

TonepoetNot sure what you mean about a common ground. The stock hd800 cable has 4 wires underneath all the shielding and is easily reterminated to balanced if you or someone you know has basic soldering skill. I did this with my own pair and it sounds every bit as good as the pricey cardas balanced cable I also own via a Yggy and BH mainline.
