What's the age? Are you the original owner?

It's less than half a year.

First owner is another member with an incredible headphone inventory and only had them for weeks. MINT, seriously!

The photo on audiocubes is not very clear, what is the problem with the original cable anyway? I thought the wood plug looks unique which is replaced with a plain one on the upgraded cables.

people replace the stock headphone cable for many reasons.

 

a. it could be the bottleneck in your system: no use having $1000 interconnects, $2000 cdp and a $900 amp with a crap stock connection to your headphones.

 

b. modding the w100 involves also removing the limiting pins on the cups swivel joint that prevent the cups from twisting more than ~30 degrees each way. if a Y type connection is done with each indivdual cup having a wire, there is no longer a need for this limiting pina s the crossover cable cannot possible get entangles as it's nolonger there. hence with the limiting pin rmeoved you can lay your cans 'flat', saving space and allowing for easy transportation.

 

c. sometimes, the cable may just be plain irritating - eg, IMO the dt880's coiled cable.

 

maybe the wood plug can be reattached to the new cable. i'm not sure abt that.

I prefer the wood plugs

I don't think changing the w100's cable improves much of the sound.. as per what I've read in head-fi. I think they change it more for convenience or whatever reason.

I think only sennheisers need their cable changed.. other company has pretty good stuffs there already
