I heard that at one time the cables were extremely microphonic. Is that that the case with the current cables?

Lose the original cables ASAP and order TOXIC cables. They are expensive and they take a long time to make by hand. Talking about $200 and three months but they took my HE-500's over the moon. Oh and no the original cables weren't particularly microphonic.

I assume by "microphonic" you mean they transmit noise up the cable to the headphones when the cable touches something. The cables are thin and relatively stiff. I just confirmed that if you tap on the cable, it will transmit the noise into the headphones (done with no music). I don't move around much when listening with headphones, so I haven't noticed it as an issue. My biggest concern is inadvertently inducing a crimp in the cable (because they are stiff, much more so than the cables for my Grado SR125s).

No, the cable is atached to the Headphones. But it's, in my opinion and in xFactors opinion the best for Gaming!With a nice Soundcard, you're going to beat everything!

I used the extension cables and it sounds ok to me...got to play with the controls to get it sounding right but did after a while... still not sure what I did to do that but works..

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

None that I am aware of, though the cable is rather imporntant, as the headphones have a special kind of port intended for the cable to lock into, the likes of which may make it hard to use normal cables.

Indeed they are! Cable is only slightly better than the originals in terms of noise traveling to the ears so I recommend wearing them over-ear.

Nope, they really have fantastic build quality so I don't believe you would need them. I am a HEAVY headphone user, and I haven't had the issue of needing that replaced.But still, no replacement cable yet. I got an email from them about checking the warehouse to see if there are some... But so far I've heard nothing back.

I have not. I did have a problem with the plastic surrounding the internal cables separating after about 6 months (those were the cheaper ones.) For these particular ones, it's only been 2 months and my volume is starting to go in and out of my left bud and I never play it at full capacity. -(

Dear Muhammad, good morning, I missed the request for information is not PS2, is cable terminal P2. Many apologies for my mistake. I would like to ask if you know a good Headphone with terminal P2, whose brand cost 100 dls.Fico very grateful for his atenção.Big hug. Olindo

no this is not a known problem. However the wires after around 2 years do fail forcing you to buy better higher quality cables. Return them back or just buy new cables. I would be more pissed at Sennheiser about the wires but the cans just sound sooooOOOoo good that I could care less and ponied up the cash for some good wires.

I wouldn't buy them if I were you. I bought mine a month ago, barely used them and they are already broken. The cable went bad.

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

Not at all for me. If you really want the best quality sound, your better off with long single cable rather than multiple ones.

where you plug them in is irrelevant, but connecting them to the motherboard is usually preferred. if they're too loud, I suspect vibration against the case. Did you use the included rubber mounting plugs to mount them?

There is no cable noise whatsoever, the quality of the sound is very nice. &#128077;&#128076;

If I remember correctly they are simulated 7.1. But they still sound great and yes things do sound like they are "behind you," but I don't think they are true 7.1. Hope this helps
