Senns comparison
Here's some pictures so you can compare them your self.
On the left is the legit cable.
Notice the pins on the left are round posts and the one on the right is flat. The left one (red) is the legit one.
The one with a straight tip is the legit one. Notice the cable is thicker, it has a gold tip, and it also has a screw on tip for the 1/4" adapter.
The one on the bottom has that little block that separates the cables. That's the legit one. The one on the top doesn't have it.
The one on the bottom is the legit one. The cable is thicker.

i'm not really in the know about this kind of thing so I'm probably way off base here, but maybe they just improved the product since you last bought it?
also, what is that cable for exactly? sennheiser headphones? if so- i'm looking to get a good pair of head phones...recommend me something pleaasseeee i was thinking about getting a pair of the starter grado headphones but i'm not 100% sure about if I should go with an 'open' pair. thankyouthankyou |

For headphones I prefer the Sony 7506's. Just because I've used for twenty plus years and my ears are accustomed to their sound.
Looking at those pictures, that's definitely not a Sennheiser change. You can tell by the quality. Sennheiser doesn't make cheap parts. My guess would be that HTFR doesn't want to pay the dealer fee for the products. So they found a second party company who can make them at a cheaper cost. |

Exactly. I still have the original cable that came with the HD25's and the posts are round, exactly like cable I just bought. |

I love my Sennheisers HD25 II. Specially for the reason stated above. Whenever something breaks and if it breaks, it's replaceable. Unlike most headphones out there where if something breaks, you have to buy a whole new set. I love how they sound and when I'm out Dj'ing it cancels the noise quite nicely.
I also used to love the Sony's MDVR 7506. I had them for 5 years and they were tanks. My only issue is that they sound very flat, which is how they're meant to sound.
Headphones are very subjective, so try them before you buy. |

| Since we're on the subject of fake stuff, if you or if you know someone who uses EAW speakers, there is a company in China that's making fake ones. Basically they copied all of the EAW line. Both look the same but the fakes sound nothing like the real ones. This company is also making parts too, and some have made it into the states. |

alright - I guess i'll just have to find somewhere to try some out then.
you mentioned that you DJ with yours- I'm just looking to listen. Would you still recommend I check those out for that purpose as well? |

I would try to go out and demo a bunch. Another thing to consider is comfort. The 7506's are great but after a while they start to hurt the ears. Even with adjustment. I havent tried out the Sennheiser model yet not sure how those feel. I'd look for a pair that has great quality but also has great comfort. |

| ok thanks...that's probably the best advice anybody has given me about buying headphones. to just go out and try a bunch haha. i wasn't really familiar with anywhere they sold nice headphones and figured i'd have to order online but i'm sure i can find somewhere. |

They do offer the right angle tips. but of course, not the same one in that image. It has threading.
