I am a professional opera singer and have my own home recording doing a lot of vocal recording. The problem I had with my Focal closed head phone was that the curled cable is not only very heavy but also too short when I want to do vocal recordings standing in my vocal booth. I've bought a cable in a store and after a short time it started show problems with the connection where 1 side of the headphone continuously was gone. Also the quality of sound wasn't that great there the cable was thin - I decided to buy the Cordial from Thomann and give that a try there it looks more stable. I wasn't wrong about it. It is a solid cable, good connectors, and the sound coming through my headphone is equal to when I not use the cable, so that's good. The price is also good for a 7,5 meter cable. Even though I thought that the length of the cable would matter qua sound and wasn't sure to take the 5 meter instead of 7,5 I'm glad I did choose the 7,5 because there isn't as far I can hear any loss in sound. Now I can record my vocals without being bothered by a too heavy coiled cable pulling my head lol - For me this cable is a 10 and the service of Thomann is a 10. I love buying my products from Thomann because their customer service is 100% good as well are their products.
