I would contact Hart Audio or Periapt Audio Cables and see if they offer this option. If not at least look at what they have.

What is your reason for wanting a coiled cable?

The current cable I have just gets in the way while moving things around. I thought if I had a coiled cable, it would be less clutter.

the term you should look for, or what I'm entering into google is "coiled 3.5mm trs to 3.5mm trrs cable"

The connection on your headphones is 3.5mm TRRS and the connection on the other end is 3.5mm TRS

I don't know if it needs to be wired a certain way but that's a start. It doesn't need to be Sennheiser brand.

I would e-mail either of those companies and ask them if they know of a product or know what you would be looking for. They are very helpful

Sennheiser uses 2.5mm TRRS wired differently from "normal" balanced 2.5mm TRRS wiring (tip=L+, ring1=R+, ring2=L-, sleeve=R-).

IMO this is kind of stupid from Sennheiser since they don't provide any balanced cables at this price range of headphones. As in, all of the cables for HD 560s have TRS plugs in the other end with the L- and R- wires connected at the plug.

What I would do is open the headphones and solder the L- and R- wires together basicly turning the 2.5mm connector into normal TRS connector and just get either ready made 2.5mm TRS male to 3.5mm TRS male cable (2.5mm->3.5mm AUX cable) or just normal 3.5mm AUX cable and 2.5mm->3.5mm TRS adapter.
