HD 560S and Fiio K3 question from audio noob (alien.top)

Hello everyone, I am very new to the audio world and recently decided to purchase a Fiio K3 for my HD560S headphones. Is the stock 3.5mm headphone cable okay to use in this setup? I noticed some people mentioning a 2.5mm cable. Just wondering if the stock headphones and K3 will be all I need for the setup. Do I need to purchase anything else?

I purchased a balanced cable for my 560's, I felt the volume was too low specifically for gaming after I applied EQ (-8db preamp) so the balanced cable helped a lot in getting the volume back to enjoyable levels.
