The B&O H6 cable is too short. The H6 headphones and cable are fitted with a nonstandard 4-contact connection plug and socket. How to lengthen?

It's not too short tbh. It's as long as you typical Beats cables! You can use any other 3.5 jack cables as well!

I went to the local best buy and purchased and cable extension cord and connected it.

None that I am aware of, though the cable is rather imporntant, as the headphones have a special kind of port intended for the cable to lock into, the likes of which may make it hard to use normal cables.

Yes the stock cable is detachable and should be replaced immediately since it's very annoying to use: it's too heavy and too long. The side that plugs into the headphones is 2.5mm while the other side is standard 3.5mm. You can splurge on an HD380 replacement cable that has a mfr type connector or choose a 2.5 male to 3.5 male cable which will be much less cost. Just be sure the 2.5 side is slender since a wide plug simply will not fit in the headphone.

I'm having trouble finding a replacement cable, let alone a longer one (maybe proprietary). If you really want to extend the length you have a couple options: 1. use the mini xlr adapter end and get another mini xlr cable to extend it (you'll also probably need an adapter to connect the mini xlr into... anything else), or 2. use the device as intended - connected to a belt pack wireless transmitter. Also, keep in mind this is a condenser mic and requires its own power (provided by the belt pack transmitter or phantom power via XLR). If you try to use it as a simple computer, or dynamic, mic, it will not work. I'm having trouble finding a replacement cable, let alone a longer one (maybe proprietary).

No. That's what I was panning on doing but it's the wrong cable. The small ends fits into a headphone jack, but it is a 3.5mm optical connection.

You will need an 1/8 - 1/4 adaptor. they are cheap and easy to find. eFuture 615136 LE Quality Headphone Adapter Stereo Gold Plug 1/4-Inch Male to 1/8-Inch Femalecord is about 6' you will probably want an extension cable so you could get a 1/4 to - 1/8 10' adaptor. something like this Seismic Audio - SA-iEFRM25 - 25' Headphone Extender Cable 1/4" TRS Male to 1/8" (3.5mm) Female

I agree with the other two posters, call the technical service and go over it with them. Since I have never bought a second set of headphones I'm not quit sure what the hookup procedure is. You could have defective headphones or there is a simple trick to make them work.Mike

It is indeed a custom / proprietary plug that goes into the headphone end of the cable, not your standard 3.5mm. from close examination, it seems that the plug is slightly longer, and maybe reaches a clip slightly further inside the jack than a normal 3.5mm plug. I am also disappointed by this, but sony doesn't sell their own cables on the side to make money either, so I don't know what's up. anyway, if you want more cables you'll need to call sony's customer support for them

I use a quick disconnect because the cord does not reach very far and to plug it into my phone another cord is needed. The end of the headset cannot plug directly into a phone.

The shroud on the end of the cable is too large for the headphones. It's very hokie even if you do get them to work.

Hi, I am not sure where you would add them. You could buy a longer wired headset, but I don't think you can add an extension to the microphone.

I would test it without the cord. Pc or ps4 and see if that's better if not than its either the base or headset. Either way it's defective, if it is better then yes 2.5 to 3.5 for standard hheadphone jack.

I suggest you contact Amazon Kindle, they are very helpful. It is a standard jack for headphones, not the small one for earbuds, if that helps at all.

Since the H6 has pretty low impedance (30 ohms), you have many choices of headphone amps. From Fiio, you can try either E10 or E17. I have both and feel the E17 is better. If you want something really small, check out Audioquest dragonfly at AudioQuest DragonFly USB Digital to Analog Converter (Black) Version 1.0 (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Awesome deal at $99.

I recently uninstalled my Kenwood head unit and made sure to measure the length of the cable. The actual cable length is right at 48" usable length. That is not measuring the plugs that insert into the Kenwood unit and the headphone jack on your device.I know it's several months after the original inquiry, but hope this helps the next buyer.

Even though it's otherwise a normal 3.5mm stereo plug the plug body is extremely narrow so standard cables won't fit into the recess. I think you'll have to call Sony and get it by special order.
