for Sennheiser HD598 HD558 HD518 HD579 HD599 HD569 Headphones, Upgraded Flexible Audio Cable Replacement, Headset Cable with Mic & Volume Control, Cable Extension 3.5 Interface

Looks like it is well made. It works perfectly with my headphones and fits well. I wasn't sure if I liked the feel of the cord, but it has a lightweight feel, and I like it. I was curious if the cord section would catch on things, but it doesn't. The sound quality is good.

The original, non-braided cable which came with my 569s was fine, but the length vs the setup of my desk and stye of my chair made the cable regularly get caught in a portion of my arm rest and then get yanked out of the PC if I rotated my chair or rolled to the side. I bought this cable simply because it was longer, but it's also clearly much more durable and higher quality as well. The braiding is nice without being overly stiff.There is no microphone and in-line call control on this cable as there is in the original, but I knew that and didn't care since I don't use that feature of the original headset as it is. (If it's possible to use the in-line control with a PC playing Spotify or YT I never figured it out, it only ever worked for my cell phone which I needed a USB-C adapter to hook to anyway!) If you care about the microphone then this obviously isn't for you, but if you want to trade the in-line control+mic for a much nicer and more reasonably long cord this is a great buy.

Cable is about same size as original HD 569 cable, but it has a coil towards the headphone side which makes it expand a little longer.I could see how a lot of people expect a much larger, robust cable as this is what you would normally expect from an audio cable. But this cable works well for me.

This product is perfect, after about a year of using the cable that came with the headphones (NOT this product), it went bad. I think some of it was running it over with my office chair a few times. This cord is better than the original cord, it fits in the headphones perfectly. There's no media or volume controls, but that "feature" annoys me anyway, and that's the part that went bad on my original cable, it came apart and over time stopped working completely. I never use the volume control anyway.This product is threaded so it doesn't tangle, and the cord is longer than the cord that comes with the headphones. If you need a replacement cable for the headphones, this should be your choice, especially for the super cheap price. To set the price this low for how expensive the headphones itself is is also great. :)

My cat decided I needed saving from my Sennheiser headphone cable, so she did her absolute best to chew the cable to a point it couldn't ever attack and choke me out. She did a great job, bless her furry little heart. However, it left me with only one ear working on the headphones. Bummer. Still, good kitty for doing what she thought was best. I used the cable from my Bose headphones and the sound quality just wasn't the same. I ordered this cable and what a difference! The build quality is much better in my opinion than the original. Even my cat has made friends with it and warned it what would happen should it try to hurt me. Ok, that last part isn't true, I made it up. But, the cable is awesome!!

Install date: Dec 10, 2018My original Sennheiser cable has a loose connection on the left ear. This was half the price and looked to be a good cable. Still too early to tell how it will hold up, but I'll update this review if I ever have problems. It's shorter than the original cable. Some may like that, I use these on a PC as a gaming headset so I prefer the extra length, however it was still long enough. The cable has a braiding over it that reduces tangling.April 13 update: (4 months) I have to take 2 stars away, the gray/black braiding is working it's way backwards, it's pulled itself from the headphones about 6". It also ended up kinking the wire in one place. I had to cut the braiding and add shrink wrap tubing to the middle of the wire. Then I noticed the protective rubber under the braiding pulled out from the headphones and I could see the tiny little wires. Fortunately it still works. I added some super glue and pushed it back inside, then added more shrink wrap. Hopefully my repairs hold, but I don't have high hopes for this cable. My original cable lasted years before having any problems.EDIT: Update 5/6/19 well despite my best efforts in keeping this cable functioning, the left channel has gone out. I can wiggle the wire and make connection but its done for. I ordered an $8 adapter to modify my headphones to use normal 1/8" cables. Don't buy this cable it only lasted 5 months
