Not sure if this is a hot or cold take, but I was thinking about how much I like the HD 600 series cables, love Audeze cables, and loathe Hifiman cables. So yeah, what stock cables do you all think are really good or really bad for whatever reason?

    Some of the Sennheiser HD800s or HD820 have like £249 replacement cables, I’m not entirely sure if they’re £249 worth cables… There are currently quite a few debates about cable qualities and if some are just unfairly expensive. I find Hifiman cables ok, but whether it’s the chunky cables with metal attached to it, or the headphones, I can hear the knock sound whenever the cable hits me or a table or something. I think some older Focal headphones cables were similar, and disliked by quite a few.
