Depends on your definition of affordable but Forza Audioworks makes great cables and their Color series start at $35.

EDIT: Screw the Color series, go for the Claire series it's their best looking one.

Another vote for Forza. I prefer their noir series though as I like cotton(like) sheething.

Anyone who lives in the Philadelphia region, this is a great meetup where you can hear just about any headphone you want. worth the drive for sure. Everyone is welcome, so if you want to listen to a bunch of headphones, I'll see you late January! Last year there were about 35 different setups, and a few from big companies. Hifiman had their new headphone and amp ($18,000 if purchased together, $21,000 if separate. Someone brought a Blue Hawaii and MK009 electrostatic setup (think that's the name). Great first meet if you have never been. there were probably around 100+ people there, and it was fantastic!

I can if you want me to. Trying to figure out what to bring. I'll have to ask about a 4K TV. If he has one, I'll bring my Xbox One X. I could probably bring a 1080p TV, but it's old.

I'll bring my HE-X V2s for sure. If others want me to bring stuff, I will. Not bringing all of it though. There's too much stuff, lol.

Their cables look pretty nice, only downside is I cant find any mini xlr cables on their site :frowning2:
Or would it be the extendors?

I basically need the mini xlr female to jack
In headphone cables select the series you want to buy then select Akg from the headphones dropdown.

You know what I'd really like to do?

Do a clip on headphone roundup. Like, pit all the budget clip ons and compare them to the KSC75/KSC35.

I notice Philips, Panasonic, Sony, Audio Technica have some.

Come on companies, get at me. :ksc75smile:

For neutral bass open headphones AKG K701/702 (702 with detachable cable) are at top level in competitiviness...
With slight change for some bass.
For headphone balancing between good fun bass and overal accurate sound Beyerdynamic DT990 would fit to that budget. (Pro version meant for studio use is even below)
AKG K712 goes little over.
For headset with built in mic there just aren't much of credible contenders.

And don't upgrade to Win10 or if you have it pray that next update won't break things.
Asus has completely ditched support of Phoebus cards.

Agree with the K702. Had a small adaptor and used the VModa Boom Pro mic with it. Using the Game Ones now but prefer the AKG.

I just got the sound blaster X7. I set it up for speakers and headphones. The speakers work but when I plug into the headphone jack there's no sound at all. Tried both headphone jacks. Any help or suggestions? Thanks
