400i

I use a similar cable to the one you linked for my HD700's (they share similar type of cables, so they're interchangeable), just that mine are red:

I'm not really a fan of the braiding. It's somewhat stiff and reminds me of PC case fan cables, but other than that I haven't had any issues with it in the 9+ months I have had it.

I got sick of swapping cables back and forth between the 700 and 400i, though, so I eventually caved and bought a separate cable for the 400i - but this time without the braiding:

So far so good. No noticeable loss in fidelity or anything - not that I could really notice that kind of thing to begin with. Feel free to pick whichever suits your needs aesthetically.

Hd700 cable works

makes it in 2.5mm

You can get a cable for like $30. The seller states it doesn't work for the HE400S but after they switched to 2.5mm mono connectors it'll work fine.

Sennheiser HD700 replacement cables fit the HE-400s and the HE-400i with revised connector:

I've got some Hifiman HE-400is that I've been using daily since last christmas. Recently the right cord started glitching, so I ordered this cord. The right cord wouldn't stay in the jack, so I set that one up for return and ordered another one. Got the other one today, same problem. The original cord stays in fine, but both sides of the new one just fall out of the right jack if pulled on even slightly.

Is there any simple fix to this? If not, does anyone have experience with Hifiman's warranty policy, specifically regarding Amazon orders? I'm hesitant to file a warranty claim, considering the problem may be resolved on an official cord, but I can't afford to spend $100+ on a possibility.

These are the ones I got. The left connector is flaking in and out.

> the cable will most likely break so you'll need to get a new one and the pads are not long lasting unless you re glue them.

Wow, you so spot on it makes me mad... I got mine when they went on black friday sale. On February 6th I ordered this.

Last night after the foam had removed itself from my leather I had pulled out the foam, flipped the leather inside out and regluded the foam back with super glue (which by the way works wonderfully, I think they may sound better now since the glue hardened a bit, it supports the pads better against the headphone.

The headphones are great, the focus pads aren't worth $10 and Hifiman sells them for 40. The cable is worth $5 considering it broke after 3 months and they charge $120 for it.

I found these. I hear they're good https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBBR8T4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

REPLACING CABLE questions. TH900

the connections at my jack, and right cup, have both deteriorated so that i have to fiddle with the cable to get sound. i must chop and resolder the jack and both cups (to keep length equal), or replace with new cable and just solder to the cups.

• which do you recommend?
  
• if i replace the cable, should i install small jacks at the cups (to reduce future twisting stress), or just solder in directly to the driver? (i will not pursue jacks if it would require sawing into the wood cups.)
  
• if i replace the cable, should i get this which has 3 poles at the cups, or this with 2 poles at the cups? here is the driver opened up. there's only 2 leads presently, however you can see 4 contacts on the driver. this leads to the next question...
  
• since there are 4 contacts, can i (should i) install a balanced cable instead? do balanced cables have 3 leads at each ear? if so, does the 3rd lead get connected to one of the 2 presently unused contacts on the driver (in the picture)? which one?
  
• finally, if i did install a balanced cable (with a 2.5mm 4-pole male), that's great for use with my DAP, but i would want an adapter to normal 3.5mm 3-pole male to use with my phone. i cannot find any such adapter on amazon. i can't believe it's not there... any tips for searching? this is the closest thing i've found, however it doesn't mention that the female side is expecting 4-pole, therefore I'm concerned that the result might mix/swap/distort the channels (because maybe the adapter is expecting 3-pole input).
  
  edit- spelling

This is the one I bought for the 400i's.



There are more length options iirc but they don't have prime. All HD700 cables should work with the 400i's.

I ordered this cable from Amazon for 35 bucks. Sadly that was about half the price of a new set of Symphonized Wraiths.

I use these and they work perfectly fine, assuming you also have the 2.5mm plug version.
