Yeah I figured. Just slightly annoying as I have a cat who keeps eyeing this cable.

I just got these a couple days ago. I haven't noticed any issues. Sometimes removing the cable from the left connector can be a little difficult. Unsure if that is because they are b-stock or just how they work in general. I love these headphones in general though.

I also have the g6. Its really good for driving any of my headphones. Its driving an he4xx and lcd 2c just fine. For me, replacing it comes down to bugs with the drivers sometimes and multiple setups. It blue screened my old pc build quite a bit. It also doesn't start up sometimes with my pc. The dx3 pro+ has bluetooth, a remote, and a quarter inch I believe. The only reason to really upgrade over a g6 in my experience is creature comforts. The g6 also works on the ps5 and switch which is pretty cool. I'm upgrading to a fiio k7 for fun honestly. I want something that I know will power anything well. But I know it isn't going to upgrade my sound or anything. Honestly I just want to connect the g6 to the consoles and have something dedicated to the pc so I don't have to constantly change cables.
