EDIT: I need to post more quickly once I open the REPLY box!
Makes you wonder why Yamaha changed to the single coiled cable for the rest of the HP-50 family.

This is excellent news, both for us YH-100 fans and for microfiber.

This is difficult to do, but I find, as others have, that if the drivers are angled such that they fire at the ears in a line parallel to the skull rather than ortho (ha!) to it, frontal location is improved.
The most extreme examples of driver angling I know of are the Stax Sigma and AKG's K1000. Audition them if you can, of course, but you can do your own experiments easily with the SFI. Smeggy has posted diagrams for making a simple wooden cup for such a thing, and of course you can use blu-tack for experiments.

It means pretty much what you probably already suspected. If you have several headphones around, examine them to see if any use angled drivers. One of my favorite out-of-head-locating headphones is the ancient Sony ECR-500, and sure enough, the drivers are slightly angled, but only slightly, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a Sigma to get the job done. Test with binaural recordings like the shaking-matchbox clip.
