First off I am NOT an audiophile.I know that listening to music on a cell phone is not the same as hooking your headphones up to an amplifier or computer. That being said, the cable that comes with these headphones is not realistic for personal listening.I'm really glad I bought this if nothing more than for the length. I've looked into splicing your own cables and I know this cable is nothing special.That being said, It's a good quality cable with a nice cable sheath over it.My pros:The sheath provides stability and an anti-tangle quality to the headphone. I mostly use it around the house or at the gym. Cable stays in place and if positioned correctly, causes no issues.The cable itself is also of the right thickness and flexibility that it just feels right.Audio quality out of a phone is good enough. I'm not doing professional work, just listening to sound on the go.The length is perfect. I may complain for athletic applications about it being too long but I typically bundle any cord I purchase to meet my needs. If you're super particular about length, buy the materials and make your own cord.For what you'd spend on your own supplies, time, and labor, this cord is just fine for every day personal carry. I use the included cord for my stationed use at a computer but I like having a secondary cord to just unlplug my headphones nad hook them up my device. Just buy it. If you're a casual user, you'll appreciate the shorter quality cord.
