How much do headphone cables matter? (alien.top)

Hey all, I'm a very very casual headphone guy so pardon my ignorance.

I'm currently using a pair of Audio Technica ATH-R70X with the Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd gen audio interface and Schiit Magni Heresy amp. I love these headphones but I want to try getting a different sound out of them. I'm thinking of trying the Schiit Valhalla 2 tube amp since I know tube amps sound much different from solid state amps. But first, I wanted to start small and see if there are different cables for these headphones that I can use that would alter the sound. Is that even possible? I was looking into Hart Audio Cables.

Thanks.

frankly 5% and probably not really matter. All of my cables now cost about 60-100$( focus on ease of use and interchangable plug) and those are fancy one.
