So the microphone cable on my Sennheiser PC-350s kicked the bucket, and I would like to replace the cable, however I can't find a source for replacement wire. At this point I'd like to just tear out the original cable and replace it with something new, but everything I can find is insanely overpriced pre-made cables. I'm just looking for a good place to buy bare wire and high quality 3.5mm plugs. Any help would be appreciated :)
 
Mouser are good to deal with, we do bussiness with them at work.
You could also check out monoprice.

If I haven't selected exactly what you need, obviously feel free to search about. Mouser should have every type of wire and end you could possible want. If you haven't heard of them, they are well known and you shouldn't have any problems with them.
Thanks, the jacks are exactly what I was looking for, but as for the wire I was looking for something more like silver teflon wire (just figured out what it was called :p). Would there be any noticeable difference using something like that over run of the mill wire? My headphones aren't exactly high end, but they use the driver from the HD595's and I have them modded to open up the soundstage a bit.

Something like this is what I was thinking of, and I'd probably get some sort of sleeve to go with them, I may just get a roll of one color since it's probably cheaper:
