Why do headphone makers insist on putting ridiculously short cables on their headphones? My new Beyerdynamic T5’s have a 1.5m cable. Far too short to sit in my armchair and listen. So I made do with a cheap extension lead from Amazon UNtil I could get a Graham Slee extension lead. Got it Wednesday and plugged it into my Diamond Solo UL amp and oh my, what a difference! Everything is better- stereo image, bass, top end, detail…. Definitely worth the money!
