Reddit reviews Sennheiser Cable Adapter Female 1/4" 6.3mm to Male 1/8" 3.5mm Plug

Careful with that one-piece 6.3mm > 3.5mm connector, the weight of the heavy 6.3mm jack is known to cause stress and break off at the 3.5mm. I'd recommend something like this

no differences in sound quality. 6,3mm jacks are used in professional settings because they are a lot sturdier than their little 3,5mm siblings.

You can only plug them into your PC if you use a 6,3mm to 3,5mm adapter.

Don't use the included 3.5mm adapter if you can help it, it will put a ton of strain on your headphone jack. If anything, use something like this :)

I suggest getting a different 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter, as the one that comes with the HD599 tends to put a lot of stress on the 3.5mm jack, as you may already have noticed. Something like this adapter from Sennheiser will work great:

The Grado adapter should work fine as well and is cheaper:

And there are other adapters like this one for Hosa which are cheaper still:

Or just use the shorter cable with a 3.5mm connector that comes with the HD599 if you can. Anyway, that's a great setup to get started on the hobby. Now you can feel free to never visit this sub again to save yourself some (ok, probably a lot of) money.

Sennheiser makes a really nice one, which used to come in a bundle that I bought with an HD650 cable, but looks like you have to buy it separately now:

Of course, there are much cheaper versions than the above, but hopefully you get the picture.

Congrats :) btw you should replace that 6.3 to 3.5 adapter exchange with something like that http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008JGWY2Y/

Edit: you will find cheaper. But so you get a picture. It causes less stress to the MacBook.

There's no quality degradation from an adapter, and a cheap adapter will sound just as good as an expensive one. These things either tend to work or not, there's nothing in between.

Just don't get a plug-style adapter: this builds a big torque multiplier that'll rip up your port if you put leverage on it. Get a cable-style adapter like this one from Sennheiser.

Be carefull with that 6.3m>3.5 plug , its not all that sturdy and has ruined one of my headphone input slot things .do yourself a favor and get one like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm-3-5mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y

Sucks it doesn't come with an AC adapter, especially since you got the battery edition! I will say that you probably want to use a 6.5mm-3.5mm plug adapter that has a cord on it to prevent stress on the 3.5mm jack there: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/

This one is the one that comes stock with the HD650, it's extremely solid. You could probably go cheaper if you want, as long as it's not like $2.

Search for 6.3mm Female to 3.5mm Male adapter. Here are two links.

http://www.amazon.in/6-3mm-Female-3-5mm-Stereo-Converter/dp/B00D88Q0EG

Get one of these instead http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm-3-5mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y

Your O2 has 3.5mm input and headphone jacks. The stock cable on the HD 650 has connector of 6.3mm (also known as 1/4").

You should have a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter with the headphones, and if not, you'll need one to plug into the O2. Many recommend the Grado style adapter, like this one. Sennheiser also makes one.

Edit: Looks like you've already got an answer, and a cheaper price on that Sennheiser adapter also.

I can't speak for him but this adapter is great:

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543328496&sr=8-3&keywords=senheiser+3.5mm+to

A little expensive, I know, but quality...

While /u/Joosyosrs point might be true too, I mostly hate it because it's really really fat and there's no extra length to the connector. So as a result, it won't fit into a lot of 3.5mm sockets. For example, it won't fit in my phone with a case on, and when I used to use a UCA202 as a DAC/amp, it couldn't plug into that either. It's also stupid to have it as one giant adapter rather than something like this one that Sennheiser makes because now you have a massive chain of big plugs hanging straight out of the socket.

Those short metal adapters are a terrible idea. One yank and you will have a first-hand lesson of the physics of levers. Sennheiser sells an adapter that should do nicely.

But, get something more like this with a wire than something like this which is solid. It'll put less strain on whatever port you plug it in.

Yeah you can't use the 6.3 to 3.5mm adaptor on it because the cable and connector is huge/heavy and you'll break the headphone jack of whatever u plug it into. If you want to use the x00 with a 3.5mm jack I suggest getting one of these.

Sennheiser 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. This is a flexible one instead of the straight one that comes in the box.

They really should have included this instead:.

Cable Adapter Female 1/4" 6.3mm to Male 1/8" 3.5mm Plug

what? isn't that opposite of what hes looking for?

I think hes looking for this

Thanks for that, I only just found out about those short cord ones. I ended up going with this, so hopefully will work out.

Thanks for the advice. I will surely replace it.

Like matty_b said, you need a 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter. Here's a link to a good one off Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008JGWY2Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1419961793&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

Pricey, but it'll hold up.

I would recommend a adapter cable, not just the short adapter, this will take some of the bulk away and not put that much load on the minijack port. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/

Assuming you mean the termination is too big

6.3mm (1/4") to 3.5mm (1/8") adapter

A bit on the more expensive side, but this kind of adapter is ideal when going from big to small.

An adapter like this might work if you don't want to get a longer 3.5mm cable. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm-3-5mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y

this guy will ease the pressure on your pc's audio jack:

there are cheaper ones out there too

I don’t have an amp. I just have the guitar. Would something like this work? If I plug this into my headset transmitter will it just work or does this adapter not have microphone capability?

Kinda a bit pricey for what it is, but there is a fairly short adapter you can get. A cheaper one with a right angle plug is available too. Adds an extra layer of break away if your cable gets snagged for whatever reason.

That said, I think the Fiio M11 might fit your requirements and is about $450.

Try picking up one of these 6.3mm>3.5mm and trying another source. This item is a good investment especially if you plan on dabbling with other stuff.

If another source doesn't fix it then it probably needs RMA'd.

You can buy this adapter or any of these cables.

if your Audigy doesn't have too much EMI, then IMO a schiit stack isn't going to make a huge difference.

3.5mm M to 1/4 inch F adapter

>My only problem right now seems to be clipping.

dont use a digital preamp

Or just one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=1%2F4+inch+to+3.5mm+adapter&qid=1565195574&s=gateway&sr=8-5

found that.. but what about a 1/8" 3.5mm to 1/4" 6.3mm converter? Need one now and just cheap crap found

Ironically, Sennheiser has a good 6.3mm to 3.5mm that they ship with (at least) the HD600/650:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm-3-5mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/
That adaptor works great with cell phones, and doesn't risk breakage. Sad to see they use a cheapy adaptor on lower models..

C'mon man, this isn't the place to ask, their is a thread, but if you are going to ask, at least include what you want from it. IMO, get a Fostex TH X00, a Micca Origen and one of these.

Not from the SMSL amp.

The Sennheiser's have a 1/4" headphone plug, which can be plugged into one of these adapters:

https://smile.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Cable-Adapter-Female-6-3mm/dp/B008JGWY2Y/

which would plug directly into your laptop or phone, no SMSL amp needed.

Is the SMSL amp used for speakers, or did you buy it for the headphones?

One of these or these might help.

For reference, the 770s are of the closed-back variety. The 990s look to be open, while the 880s are a blend of the two. If you have the 80 or 250 Ohm versions, you might need a headphone amp to get a decent volume.

EDIT: Added another option.
