Recommends for 6XX replacement cable(s)?
The wires on the left channel plug, just before the socket are acting up and I need to replace the cable for my Sennheiser 6XX headphones. Looking at Amazon, I see actual Sennheiser cables but one of them does not have the removable 1/4 plug (I use a DAC with 1/8" jack), and I would rather not add even more connection unknowns by using an adapter down to 1/4", and the other Sennheiser cable is far too long for my usage (looking for around 2 meters or just a touch longer. The 6XX have been around for a while and I'm sure I'm not the first to need a replacement cable. I'm actually surprised that Drop doesn't offer them perpetually like they do with the ear pads, which ironically my stock pads are holding up just fine. I'm not looking for $100+ cables here, just a solid replacement for what the 6XX came with. Thanks!

As far as hype train goes, well... I have tried products I don't like, and thus I don't really feel like spending the time to write up a detailed review of them, but they still show up sometimes sprinkled into other reviews as examples of what NOT to do. But when a product is worthy of the hype, and will only be available to those that know quickly, well, I wanted to inform people about these PC37X as soon as possible. Reviewing is partially objective and partially subjective, while I tried to describe the sound character and other aspects of the headset to give people an idea of what the headset is, I also wanted to give it my recommendation. Of course the reader should make up their own mind, and personal taste will be the final preference and should dictate the final decision, but don't say I didn't tell ya we have a hit on the way!
Lastly, besides the fact that it says Limited Edition on the box and is part of the full title of the headphone, I do believe it still fits the definition of being LE because of the reasons mentioned at the end of the review (First release, Massdrop special event and custom colorway/included cable choice, limited quantity, special price that makes it VERY strong against headphones priced close to it).
