CORRECTION: 6.3mm not 4.4mm but nevertheless this is strange. This is my second pair of HD 560s and the cable is also noticeably nicer than the previous.

edit: The first pair I bought a month ago from Best Buy and it came with the really shitty cable and adapter. I can't A/B test between the two since I gifted it to a friend but I don't think there is a difference in sound.

There will be not sound different between the cables. That’s all snake oil even with extremely different cables.

It's pretty much always a 2.5 to 3.5mm cable. I don't think I've seen a 6.3mm only cable bundled with any headphone newer than 20 years....

It pretty much hasn't, but who really cares. My cable was 1/4" and most of the reviews state having to use the 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter for mobile use.
