Okay, I'm bamboozled.

The 2.5mm balanced connection isn't going to provide a true balanced (independent polarity connection) to the drivers given the nature of the plugs, right?

Or is this simply to make use of the more powerful balanced output from your amp? The drivers are going to be fed with both neutrals at the same time right? Like, the plug is simply jumping both of them together?

I don't understand much about this it seems

Sennheiser themselves even said the 560s can be run balanced. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-new-hd-560s-linear-acoustics-at-a-breakthrough-value.943107/ check post #10

Oh, thats nice

So, the standard SE pin simply doesn't use the dual neutrals inside the headphone's female plug right?

I think the stock cable just puts the 2 negative pins to ground
