Good question. I guess the only response is that no one has swapped out cables on any of these cans and reported on how much, if any, difference it makes. It is much easier to change some cables on a set of cans made to facilitate easy swapping of cables. The single ground wire on the Sonys make it very difficult.
As to my view: I think that just about any set of cans can have their suond improved by swapping out the cheap cables used for them. Saying that, I feel that the Sony CD3K would benefit the most since they do share a common ground versus separate ground wires like the Senns do. The problem is doing the change. If I had some decent tools I would change mine out just to see how they sounded afterwards.
