they can be linear depending if you want to change out the cable.... with the cable that it comes with its V shaped.... I put a very thin cable on them and they are very linear now....

Take it easy my friend. Physics back and forth. First, it's your own ear and what you hear counts. And if you can't hear any difference between the cables, unless they have a defect and are extremely poorly made, then so be it and you don't have to act as all-knowing sound engineer.
I have more than a hundred headphones of all kinds, including in-ears and of course have more than a hundred cables lying around here and have tried a lot more ... WyWires, Corps Cable, Cardas, Toxic, Forza Audioworks, Audioverse, Rotmanns Cables, ALO, Linsoul etc. In fact, you can't hear any(!) difference in sound unless it's cheapest China goods (with bad production)! Whether with a Sennheiser HD 800S, Audeze LCD-X, Hifiman HE1000V2, Dan Clark AEON 2, AKG K812, beyerdynamic T1, Fostex TH-900, Campfire Solaris, Andromeda, Prophile P8, iBasso IT07, beyerdynamic Xelento, Ultrasone IQ, Softears RSV, Oriveti OH500 etc., just to name a few headphones. Of course, there are differences in the look, feel, handling … of the cables But, that's something else.
By the way, an old bell wire that used to be used on phone lines is perfect for sound. I was a participant in blind tests where, among other things, such a bell wire competed against arm-thick cables that cost thousands of USD and performed just as well. You couldn't hear a difference if you didn't have the info which cable was connected. And that bell wire transmitted the sound several hundred kilometers. And how long is the cable from an in-ear to your own ear? So, everything becomes extremely relative. No offense intended. Greetings from one who may have wooden ears :-)

People that insist that I'm not hearing differences in cables are on some wicked drugs. How does one know what another hears? I have been laughing at these kind of comments for 40 years. Yawn.

Have a pair of HIFI Man 4XX?
Drop everything you're doing and go to your streaming account (I prefer Spotify and Tidal) and pull up (search for) Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk then find track 7 (Chasing Rainbows). Strap in and plug in your amp, and hit play. You can thank me later! No streaming account? Try this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_mE0TE9a-Y&t=1715s

Great pair of desktop speakers! Pairing with a DAC will really bring out the best in them (not required but if you have one, try it out!). Great value deal here from Drop.

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!
