LOL...yes that special cool-aid is something.

Looks like you went to Audiophiles-Anonymous and kicked the habit.

Necessary, probably not. BTW, it was Beyerdynamic DT1350 that broke after only 4 months. Never purchased another pair of Beyerdynamic or captive-wire headphones since.

I love my Beyerdynamic DT990 600 Oh from the Mid '80s. Probably my favorite headphone with a slight smiley face EQ.

Yes, their cables can break after time. I think I installed some Mogami cable on them many years ago. It got a thick TechFlex tubing over it, so I can't see anymore what cable I used.

If you like these 1350 you could try first to cut the first few inches off close to the plug, since the cables break there some times and install a new plug.

Or just totally eliminate the original cable and run a a cable into both cans with a y-splitter in front of it.

  Good advice.
  
  I still have a couple pair of captive-wire headphones, Grado SR60 and Sony MDRv6. If the wires ever break in those [which I doubt] I might do the solder thing.
  
  The Beyerdynamics did sound fantastic though.

    I had the Grado SR60 for many years and enjoyed them tremendously. They are a lot of fun. Unfortunately one driver died last year, so I rebuild them with the Magnum driver. Unfortunately again my daughter broke one of the gimbals and the replacement gimbal is at my in-laws in the USA, I am in Spain. Due to Covid19 we were not able to see them this May and we will not be able to see then this fall, as planned. So I still have to wait to get the replacement gimbal next year (most likely).
    
    The Grado Cable is almost indestructible.
    
    ENJOY
