Looks like you are using the USB audio accessory (sold separately). The only thing thats on our review samples cable is the inline controller. Thats probably why its so darn heavy for you.

Everything on that wire was in the 1 box I bought.
Nothing bought "seperately".

Ah, I see you bought the Sib v2 USB model. Not the Sib v2 we reviewed. Basically yours is the sib v2 with the optional USB virtual 7.1 soundcard sold as a combo deal (which is actually a pretty decent deal as its only 20 bucks more). The standard Sib v2 we reviewed does not come with that USB sound card. USB soundcards by there very nature do add a LOT of weight to the cable. Nature of the beast. :)
