Those look momentums l. I have a pair from years ago, $70 on sale. If you have to ask if you got a good deal then you're smoking crack. The extra cable can be ordered from Sennheiser. It's a specific custom cable , very narrow. Be gentle with the pads. I had to get a new pair after 2 years. But I wore them daily for 2 years commuting in the train, thrown in my desk, in my bag, dropped on concrete over a dozen times. They're solid. Low resistance too so they work well with phones, high quality but music preferred. But plug them into even a cheap USB amp and man they go to another level. I also own the hd600 for like 20 yrs. My best friend is a musician and loves their mics. Been a Senn fan for over 23 yrs

Dude I'm rocking a small OB Creek II amp I bought in 1999, made in America. Paid like $160 on sale back then, Still rocking. Buying a DAC soon. Still researching. I'm no expert on modern headphone amps. Some are DAC /amp combos but it's hard to tell of the longevity of these items, brands. I don't mind 40% more of I know it will last with no real headaches.

A picture of the headphones themselves is provided. They are a little dusty but work as expected. I plan to get a cable soon but I can't find any that appeal to me. They sound better than some cheaper headphones. They are not very bassy,, though an external amplifier may help with that. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced amplifier that would work well with these headphones?

Looking at the frequency response they seem pretty terrible but you really can't go wrong for four bucks

Strongly recommend EQ for these

Weirdly, the on ear version is tuned considerably better than the XLs you have there.
