No it doesn't, because this thread is about headphone cables, not HDMI.Do you mean that if I connect HDMI eARC out on the tv to HDMI eARC out on the AV receiver the video and sound goes both ways? That sounds a little too good if You don't mind me saying...

Happy days indeed Dom
I'm happy with my 560S too.
Here's my collection of leads for any occasion:View attachment 4255
That is a functioning 4.4mm balanced - and the one that I use most.Well, you don't have any functioning 4.4 mm Pentaconn balanced. Didn't such a cable com with the headphones?

No, they don't supply a balanced cable with the 560S.
The long one (top right in my photo) is the one they supply - but, as supplied, a 3-pole (TRS) plug is fitted at the amp end.
You'll see that the headphone end is a 4-pole plug and crucially they use a 4-core cable to it (where they could have used 3-core, with negative poles paired at the 4-pole plug).
Which means that fitting a Pentaconn plug gives you 4 separate poles from the amp to the drivers - hence balanced operation.
No, I reckon the only similarity between old and new will be the fact that they're 2 pole connectors.Yes, sorry, it was a brain-fart from me. Do you know that the headphone plugs on the 660S and others are the same as on the HD 414 from 1968 and maybe even earlier phones?
