Review on NewFantasia Replacement Audio Upgrade Cable Compatible With Sennheiser HD598, HD558, HD518, HD598 Cs, HD599, HD569, HD579 Headphones 3Meters/9.9Feet by Frank Nguyen

I've ordered maybe 8 cables from NewFantasia/NeoMusicia now for various headphones and they've all been great. Beefy enough and built well enough to send the signal unhindered. Zero change in sound from the stock cables on any of my headphones including Sennheiser HD580 and AKG K712 Pro. NewFantasia/NeoMusicia are great because you can get them in 5ft which is a rare length. I'd recommend looking at these if you just need a different length cable. Audiophiles looking to get that last 1% out of their gear should probably look elsewhere.Solidly built cable. Only very slight microphonics from the nylon braid on clothing. Nothing that bothers on a desktop amp. Nice upgrade in practicality from the 9ft spaghetti cables most headphones come with. Using on a desktop setup with a Schiit Asgard 2 amp. Fits a little tighter in the headphone than the stock cable but still fine. Works and looks great on my HD598s, HD599s. These also fit the M40x and M50x perfectly as Audio Technica uses the same locking lugs as Sennheiser. I ordered one of these for my M40x as well and it works great.As for durability, don't beat on these cables. Just treat them nicely and they will work for a long time. They aren't super tough but they're fine for desktop usage. They really aren't intended or built the right way for portable use. These might not have perfect QC but when you get a good cable they're totally fine. There are several similar cables floating around the internet all using parts from similar OEMs and the ones from this seller always seem to use the best of the available parts. Especially the headphone-side end connectors. They're mass manufactured and cheap but their design means a good one is a good one. They're just copper cables with soldered ends and gold plated connectors. Not much can go wrong. I really like these. Perfect cheap upgrade to make any pair of headphones a little nicer to use.
