I got the Lightning version for my DT1990 pro.. It works great with my iPhone out of the box. The cable is thick (for being headphones cable) and has separate mic unit from the volume and play/pause controller which I am appreciate. To be honest, I thought it would be a bit flimsy and thin cable but oh boy it's quite a proper built(thick) cable. My impression is, it's not overprice for all the features and built/sound quality ( and I don't have to carry an obnoxiously long cable around the house 🤣). Im happy with my purchase. I don't know if its easy to break (from some customer review online), but it comes with 2 years warranty so hope for the best 😁👍

The regular cord plugs in to separate headphone amps so it's quality is all about what you plug it into. These headphones come with a regular 3.5mm connector - you just unscrew the 6.3mm adapter and the 3.5mm is underneath 🙂

The Go Blu is a lovely, versatile little device. As good as the cable is, the Go Blu might be a better option in case you decide to add other headphones or earphones later on. That said, I noticed a small amount of hiss from the Go Blu when I tried it and the Pro X headphones can be really revealing of source noise so that could be a problem potentially. It's be good if you can try before you buy or purchase with a free return policy just in case.

I'm afraid I can't demonstrate the mic function, but this cable performs to the same level as other dongle style devices like a Moondrop Dawn Pro, AudioQuest Dragonfly, etc. I.e. it will be nowhere near as good as a full sized desktop device, but is still a good sounding device for portable situations.

If you get a mic with a separate cord then you can just plug that straight to the PC. Some amps (e.g. Burson) will have a mic passthrough where you plug the mic into the amp and then connect a lead from the back of the amp to the PC for the mic, but this is a rarity in most cases.

The Beyerdynamic Pro X USB-C is worse than using the 3.5mm jack cable. I tried it with DT 700 Pro X & at music it's a terrible choice. Find a DAC & Amplifier somewhere else like a Shanling UA4. Just let's say there is only clear undetailed sound at any app on my smartphone & even my PC. Bit Perfection Mode on USB Audio Player Pro sounds like a whole lot of treble & that is nothing magical about that at all. The 3.5mm jack cable connection is way superior to it on my Sony smartphone & my Medion PC.

@@PassionforSound Now I've even ordered a 4.4mm Balanced Cable for The Shanling UA4 to my Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X. It will make the whole portable sound system that I have Fully Balanced, cannot be anything else than a higher audio quality with a Balanced solution rather than an Unbalanced solution. Balanced is a little bit more challenging. There are two different balanced standards for portable audio: 4.4mm and 2.5mm. And then there is balanced Mini-XLR audio. Where 3.5mm and 6.3mm are TRS connecters, 4.4mm and 2.5mm are TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) or TRRRS (tip, ring, ring, ring, sleeve) connectors . Where a TRS connector is simply left channel, right channel, and ground, a TRRS is left channel positive, left channel negative, right channel positive, and right channel negative, while TRRRS adds a ground. To me it sounds like a decent upgrade since now everything will be signalized music in all balanced mode, no more noise or disturbance. Only crystal clearness, clean & detailed sound image perfectly balanced with everything From The Digital To The Analog in perfect order. We are talking Bit Perfection Mode as Perfectness Bit By Bit without having to use USB Audio Player Pro "Bit Perfection Mode". Eddict Player, Poweramp, USB Audio Player Pro & Neutron are perfect Music Players that support Hi-Res Audio formats & are good enough though I've wished for a even more perfect Music Player than either of those but if I had to choose a favorite it would be Poweramp no doubt it has a great EQ, Hi-Res Audio support up to 32Bit/384kHz & it can be modified with buyable new skins for an software upgrade so it looks a little fresher than the original skin. USB Audio Player Pro if USB-C being used must be number 2 with Eddict Player at number 3 on the list as they all are really good Music Players.
