Over the years, I have found that cables for the most part do not assist/improve the sound of an inexpensive audio system. It is only when you have upgraded to a low higher end system that you can hear the changes brought about by decent interconnects, power cords and speaker cables. As has been pointed out, headphones and IEMs make it easier to hear cable upgrades.
If this has been your experience, you might have also encountered the person that does not hear cable upgrades. Ask them about their system and congratulate them on being able to save lots of money on cables.

I think you and others make some good points.
Not a good idea to spend too much money or effort on cables for Low to even some Mid-prices cans, and most very expensive cans don't need fancy cables to sound good.
Plus...as I found out, once again...its often cheaper to just purchase and upgrade rather than spending the extra money and time making them. Case in point, I was about to make a balanced 4.4mm to XLR cable but I found a very good one for about half of what I would have spent on a DIY.
Either way, its always fun to read someones results who are inclined to make some cables.

It's a dull thing to argue about the benefit of audiophile-quality cables in general within a specialized forum like this. Some AA Inmates understood the point of my post, and chimed in with their experience and attitude about high-end headphone cables, like it or not. I don't have a dog in this hunt, especially in Headphone Heights. No debates nor any other interest on my part other than folks staying on-topic.
