Sennheiser replacement cables

It's interesting that the Sennheiser HD580 and 600 use the same replacement cable, h-81435, while the 650 uses the h-92885. The 650 replacement cable is actually a bit less expensive than the other cable, and I've been told it's a better replacement cord for all 3 models. Any thoughts? Thanks

Fatparrot, you're right that if you try to drive the 600's directly from a Zune, iRiver or iPod the results aren't very satisfactory but there are quite a few small heaphone amps with 1/8 jacks that work fine with a portable player as a source.

Thanks for the info. I just had a chance to briefly listen to the 600s with the Cardas cord. Wow! That is a major league improvement over the stock cord, but it should be for another $150.

Ah, thanks for clearing my confusion up, Fatparrot. Yes, mine is a few years old.

84audio - glad you tried it! Next time, try to hear the Zu Mobius (preferably on a headphone amp too) it's in my opinion a lot better than the Cardas, which in itself is much better than the stock chord.
