Why not buy an 1/4 to XLR4 adaptor instead? I see ddhifi and some other brands available online.

Those are very irresponsible. Basically Single ended (trs like 3.5mm and 1/4) to balanced adapters short two active outputs, which can damage both your gear and headphones. Yes they sell them but it is kind of like those extension cords that have male ends on each side, very bad to use and can cause damage.

Then at least buy an extension wire and mod it to XLR. More versatile when you need the stock 1/8” and preserves the resale value of your headphones. Just saying.

Thanks for the info, also I have no plans to ever resell these. I already modded them so much with new aluminum swivels and yokes, new cups, ear pads, headband, etc. I am sorta trying to make these into a forever headphone, the only thing I really have left to do is to balance them lol
