I'm currently auditioning Focal Clear MG headphones as part of an upgrade to my headphone listening. The other candidates are Sennheiser HD 800 S and Audeze LCD-X.
As the Focal's only come with a 1.2m cable for the 6.35m jack I'm going to struggle to use these everywhere I want to. I won't be replacing my amplifier for a while until the funds are available so this could be a deal breaker as I can't use the longer 3m balanced cable yet. Even if I did I will still want to use the 6.35m jack sometimes.
It's a close thing between the Sennheiser and the Focal at the moment and usability is a factor so the right cable is important. I can't find any longer cables and, as yet, haven't heard back from Focal themselves.
Before I throw out the Focal's based on cabling, do I need to get a custom cable made or am I missing something in my search/research online and you can get them from Focal?
