Are my DT 990's screwed?

[Ooxaz]

Hey there, I purchased a brand new pair of DT 990 Premium's a few days ago and I love them! I'm completely new to this high end(?) audiophile stuff but they have an amazing soundstaage, mids are clear and crisp and treble is a little harsh on the ears but i've gotten mostly used to it. Anyway, point of this thread is I received the headphones with a cable that has curves and bends (Image here http://imgur.com/a/Ea3rZ) not completely straight but it's bugging my OCD.

 

I do not know what caused the cable to be slightly malformed like this but I'm wondering if it is something I should worry about, particularly if it effects the sound quality or the such? Also, how can I prevent this from happening any further? I use these while gaming so the cable is a bit longer than ideal but I do not think that's the problem. 

 

I was debating whether or not I should return them but I don't know if it's worth returning over just a bendy cable, thoughts?

Maybe I'm crazy, but dont you think that's an extreme bend? I've tried straightening it but it just keeps forming back

yes they have the coiled cable and cables bend it's kind of the point of them, if something was damaged internally you'd know about it.

True, I think it's just an OCD thing that's bugging me

do you know anyone that does?

its really not that tough to do and all dtxxx's have replaceable parts

its a sweet mod to have considering you be able to have multiple length cables if need to be

and detachable cables are in its own very nice

I guess I can pay a professional to do it for me, giving that will decrease the chance of the headphones getting fucked
