Hi all,

I purchased a second hand Sony WH-CH720N.
Seller didn't have an aux cable, so I bargained the price down a bit more.

Amazon shows all sorts of aux cables from 200 rupees to 1500+

What's the difference in these cables? Which cable should I get?
Pls suggest as im not even sure if there would be a big difference

Thanks!
Also, is there anything I should have checked before buying it 2nd hand?
It's 3 months old, seller mentioned limited 1-2 hour use per day.

He mentioned no problems with connection, battery, etc.

Looks clean without damages and sounds as expected.

Anything I missed out on? I made sure ANC worked fine.

It's in warranty too.
 
I have the same headphones, used it once with the AUX cable, and it sounds totally different. Very muffled. Problem is that there is a lot of processing happening on these headphones and without it turned on, it will sound different. It only sound good if you turn the headphones ON, which IMO defeats the point of having 'wired' headphones.

Usually more expensive aux cables have better audio quality (claimed), but even then the difference is something a non-audiophile will not be able to hear. Honestly I doubt even audiophiles can hear it in a blind test, they are probably just messing with us. Just get the cheaper aux cable, or even better, don't get it at all because I don't think you'll use it very often after hearing it.
