Big fan of diy cables, use them on everything except my Sennheiser because of the stupid connector they use.

You can buy the connectors online

From one seller and it's like $20 a connector. I usually spend less on an entire Paracord than I would on that one connector.

At that point it's cheaper to buy the lowest price cable and cut them, oof.

I got the hd600 and hd800 connectors for around $6 on taobao. I can't really read Chinese well but Google translate was sufficient to get me through checkout and shipping

And that paracord looks super cool too on your custom cables

I got an entire cable for $7 here in Asia. Same cable is $15 on Amazon, and is a decent cable with 2 connectors already attached.

The HD6X0 connector is technically proprietary but it's very easy to get and it's cheaper even than supposedly non-proprietary connectors like Audeze's mini-XLR, or Audio-Technica's recessed 2.5mm. It's only marginally more difficult to get than dual 3.5mm.
