A lot of people say that when they order these,it is the old version without the detachable cable.Is this true?

My wife and I both bought a pair in the last few months and both came with detachable cord. LL

Yes, that is correct. The cable does not detach from the headphones. It is cloth covered with the inline controls.

Look for S6AVFM. That's one of the later models and it DOES have the detachable cable.

That particular one (red) has the detachable cable. But if you are not sure just put it in your shipping cart and call customer service and they can tell whether or not it is. I've ordered five pairs and I did have to return one because the cable wasn't detachable. For future reference the pics with the cable curved to the right are the detachable ones

From my experience, if the description of the item does not mention the quick disconnect then NO...depending on the seller usually the add the letters QD to their part numbers.When I purchased mine, I could not afford the QD at the moment so I ordered the one without and then I purchased it separately and the same with the compass...now it is complete. Also be aware that the data cable to download dives to a computer is sold separately...beware the cables for Pro Plus 2.0 and the Pro Plus 2.1 ARE DIFFERENT !!!!! if you are planning on buying the cable I recommend you make 100%sure it is the correct one.

These are detachable. The customer you are referring to simply received the wrong model and we exchanged them

Yes it is detachable. The cable is also made to be very durable but I however managed to sustain a break in mine but then again I have been using mine very actively for over a year. Hope this answers your question.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

I purchased mine in 2009.It was in 2008 that USB 3.0 was first introduced, and it wasn't until November 2009 that consumers first had electronics that utilized 3.0. Another indication of 3.0 was a blue usb end, the one on my cable came white. So, I would say unless these are new cords, not over-stock or mass productions, these are 2.0. Hope this helps!

Yes the cord is detachable. Although be careful on the headphone end of the cable there is a lock.

You don't necessarily need a new cable entirely. I run mine through a USB extender, which works great.

Yes, original Sony Trademarked packaging. I bought 3 as I wear these in bed with my Sony Walkman so I don't disturb my wife. I'm restless at night and this tends to break the headphone cable. I must have bought 20 or more units over the last 10 years from different suppliers. Mostly discontinued items from old stock I guess.

I agree with Sam, we have a dozen of them and it doesn't have a detachable cable of anykind

I think they are pretty much the same. We turned ours over and worked from the open bottom. It was pretty easy on our couch, hope yours is also. This includes the cable and release as one piece. Just watch how you take the old one off.

Non detachable cable. P-S adapter included in ER4PT but not ER4P, and that's the only difference (apart from price) between the two.

Do a quick Google search. You will see the differences between the new version and old version. It's been a while, but I don't remember mine coming with a charger. It's micro USB and they're so common around my house that I didn't have an issue charging it. Also, I received the new version. Which is better.

Nope, they really have fantastic build quality so I don't believe you would need them. I am a HEAVY headphone user, and I haven't had the issue of needing that replaced.But still, no replacement cable yet. I got an email from them about checking the warehouse to see if there are some... But so far I've heard nothing back.

Unfortunately, no. The cord detaches, and I suppose that makes storage easier. The retractable cord was a great feature of the older model.

Yes, with the optional cable. The many posts you see about updating is because for a while (2011ish) the company was bought out by someone else...and for a while, the website for updating was down. Now, all is well.
