NewFantasia Replacement Audio Upgrade Cable Compatible with Sennheiser HD598, HD598Cs, HD560s, HD598SE, HD620S, HD400PRO, HD599, HD569, HD579, HD505 Headphones 1.2m/4feet

Update: The 1.5m version of this cable has been going for a decade for me. I've moved twice, put an unknown amount of hours on it over the years (10s of thousands of hours per year easily). This thing connected to my Senny 558s have been my most reliable piece that I've ever owned. I've now bought a second cable with an adapter to connect to my bass Amp. Recommended now and forever. Original review: I bought this to replace that ridiculous cable that comes with the Sennheiser 558s. I needed something shorter and something with a smaller 3.5mm end (the 558s cable is huge, almost the size of a Bic lighter). I found these and they seemed good so I bought them. Pros 1. 1.5m was a good length. Long enough for use while walking or sitting at the desk, but not so long that you can jump rope with it. 2. The sound is fine by my ears. Sounds the same as the cable it replaced with no degradation or improvement. It's a cable doing cable stuff. 3. The braided cable feels of high quality. 4. There are springs at both ends to help alleviate the pressure of where the cable meets the sleeves for the connectors. I love this. 5. Fits in the locking mechanism of the 558s. 6. Comes with a 6.5mm adapter in case you still need one. I don't but I like that this cable replaces both connections just in case. Smart thinking. The adapter also screws in so it doesn't have any wiggle. 7. The whole thing just feels really high quality. Time will tell if it's durable (obviously), but on the face of it, this thing looks, feels, and acts like a seriously nice cable. Cons 1. None so far. I don't like the whole "proprietary locking mechanism" nonsense that Sennheiser uses because it makes these cables more expensive. Other than that, no problems here. Also, the braided cable makes noise that you can hear in the headphones when it rubs up against itself, but that's true for all braided cables so I didn't see the need to make it its own thing. If the cable breaks I'll come back and change the review, but for now it's everything I was hoping it'd be.

- Build Quality - This cable is nice. The braid is plastic so it won't fray like fabric would. The cable is very lightweight, to the point that it made me question it's quality, but that doesn't seem to be ab issue. The red color of the core is very subtle, so it doesn't really bother me (I hate red). The large end of the cable has some type of spring to protect it from sharp bends, and is actually quite firm and works well. Both "silver" ends have kind of a pink-ish hue which looks very nice, not quite pink but not quite boring silver. - Sound Quality - I'm not a very experienced audiophile, but I'm able to tell subtle differences in sound quality. This cable sounds as good as the original that came with my HD560s and has no volume loss or noise / static from the wire rubbing against your shirt. Overall it's an outstanding cable. We'll see if it stands the test of time, but the build quality is good and sturdy, so I'm expecting it to last.

Replacement cable is better quality than the original one that came with my headphones eight years ago.

Product: NewFantasia Model S-2 (AISN B00KAKGQCQ) Cable length: 1.5m Configuration: Sennheiser HD 569 / Fosi Audio K5 Pro Reviewed after 3 weeks I'm not an audiophile but I am a trained musician who spends an inordinate amount of time editing audio files. As such, I care a great deal about the fidelity of my equipment. When a performance reveals sound characteristics that I missed in the studio, that's a screw-up on my part and it bugs me. I purchased the Sennheiser 569 about eighteen months ago and have been monkeying with the cables the entire time. The stock cable was TRRS with an inline mic, two features that I did not need, each with its own potential points of failure. Sure enough, touching the mic introduced audible noise. Over the months that followed, I replaced the stock cable with a series of third-party TRS cables. None of them reliably formed a stable connection at the 2.5 mm headphone socket. That series of disappointments ended with the NewFantasia S-2. Now I could stand at my desk, moving my head and my arms without ever feeling the need to re-position the cable at the headphone socket. One issue still bothered me, however. I'd sometimes hear static when no audio was playing. I live in a dry climate where static electricity is a normal part of everyday life. This week, the humidity in my office dropped to the single digits and the static events became more frequent. This weather event led to the discovery that I hope will benefit someone reading this review. The noise was almost certainly being caused by electrical current traveling along the cable. I clipped a cheap ferrite core to the cable, near the 3.5 mm connector. That reduced the noise by about 90%, a massive difference. Then, I clipped another ferrite core near the 2.5 mm connector. The noise is gone now. I can't make it re-appear, regardless of how much I dance around with the headphones. The sound quality seems to have improved too. This is a fine headphone cable. It's sturdy. It makes a solid connection. It resists tangling. Alas, it's also prone to conduct electricity where we don't want it. Ferrite cores are easy to find. Attaching a couple won't hurt you and might deliver exactly the audio experience you were hoping for.

Signature PUREの純正がカールコードタイプで重かったり使いづらかったので交換しました。 無事使えましたので、音質変化などを少し。 今までのULTRASONEぽくなります。以上。

Cable was working fine untill a few months after purchase, when it broke and now every time I move the headset, the sound disconnects.

كيبل ممتاز جودته رائعة شريته بسبب مشكلة بسماعة سنهايزر من الجهة اليسرى وحقيقة توقعت أن الخلل من السماعة نفسها لكن قلت أجرب كيبل والحمدلله المشكلة أنحلت والكيبل يفي بالغرض

Sinceramente pensaba que iba a llegar después de dos semanas pues así lo anunciaba; llegó a los 2 días. La calidad del cable superó mis expectativas, y al probarlos en mis audífonos Sennheiser 598 CS funcionaron a la perfección. 100% recomendado, estoy bastante satisfecho con el producto. :)

Good one
