Headphone Cable or Extension
Hi Guys,
I just picked up a Burson Soloist 3X and I'd like the cord a little longer. I'm using Hi-Fi Man He-560 headphones and the stock 3m cable with a 4pin XLR connector on the amp end. The hi-fi shop where I bought the Burson has checked with Hi-FiMan and nothing in stock at the moment. Any thoughts would be gladly excepted. Thanks, Jack

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
Some cable companies make cables for certain brands, aftermarket. Cardas makes a good selection. Not sure if they've gotten into Hifiman yet. Maybe run a quick search for Hifiman replacement cable and see what comes of it.
After hearing Hifiman at the show I ended up picking up a set on sale. I don't do much headphone listening so I got just an entry set.Aurender ACS10 w/Audioquest Diamond USB, Esoteric N05xd

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
Good to see you post as well, you'll have to come around more.
I did a quick search and didn't turn up much, some inexpensive replacements and a company called Etsy which I'm not familiar with.Aurender ACS10 w/Audioquest Diamond USB, Esoteric N05xd

Etsy is kind of like eBay, except more small-creator/crafts focused. They've been around a long time.

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
If you contact most any of the Internet Direct cable suppliers like Triode Wire Lab, Audio Sensibility, Audio Envy, etc. they all make and sell headphone cables to order.

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
I've purchased many cables from Moon Audio so I checked them out and they had exactly what I needed. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
I have had an extension from Grado since I bought my 125s. I can reach the fridge for a beer from the living room

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
Good to hear from you. I had a couple bumps to navigate to find the right cable. I needed 4 pin XLR and I wanted 16.5 feet or longer. When you start adding feet on, the price starts to go up quickly. How's things going with you?

I looked at Monoprice, but I couldn't seem to put together all the parameters that I needed in a cable from them. Originally Posted by bluegrassphile

Re: Headphone Cable or Extension
Geography wise I'm still in Delaware. I picked up a new turntable and phono pre back in 2018 and lately I've been upgrading my headphone setup. We just made our last mortgage payment so I should have a bit of extra money if I get the itch as I did with the headphone rig.
