Best source for Sennheiser headphone cables ?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Does anyone have a recommendation for a supplier of the thin, easily
fractured headphone cables used in the Sennheiser HD580/600 series ? I live
in Australia, so preferably mail order....and I'll probably order several
sets at once, judging by how flimsy their construction appears to be. The
"Achilles Heel" area seems to be near the connector socket at the earpiece
end...always !! Grrrrrr.....
Thanks,
Ray

aaah yes Charles, but if you knew anything about the tiny connector plugs
involved here you would appreciate the futility of that path.....thanks
anyway for the suggestion !

The cables for the new HD 650 actually fits perfectly. This cable is much
stronger and probably has got new plugs too.
