This is sold for parts. One of the driver is exhibiting distortion and is lower in volume. You will have to buy a driver from Beyerdynamic or from wherever to replace it.It is recabled in a braided copper cable. There is no plug though - I have completely rewired it, so you could run it in balanced if you wanted. The cable is about 6ft.If you were interested, I could replace the driver and install a plug of your choice at your cost +10 USD to the 30 USD I'm asking (so 40 USD + parts total). Otherwise, it's 30 USD including shipping and PayPal fees within the US. Note: I don't have an amp or a player that can run balanced jacks, so I won't be able to test balanced connections. If you were thinking of soldering on your own plug, I could mark the wires so you know what is ground, L, and R.The white letterings on the chassis have rubbed off. There is a small crack along the right logo piece which does not affect performance - merely a cosmetic note.The earpads are like new since I have rarely worn them. The headband padding looks great.---------------------------------------------From a smoke-less and pet-less home.Ships from MN.Feel free to PM me any questions regarding the headphones!
