Not sure if this is a hot or cold take, but I was thinking about how much I like the HD 600 series cables, love Audeze cables, and loathe Hifiman cables. So yeah, what stock cables do you all think are really good or really bad for whatever reason?

I really like the HD 600 cable specifically, hence I bought a few more of the same cables for the HD 565, HD 58X and HD 660S2. The 600 cable is lighter and less tangle-prone than those (the 58X one is especially bad IMO), the length and 3.5mm termination are perfect for me and the black/red marks are also helpful because of how symmetrical these cans are.
