Cheap Project Headphone Advice

Hey guys, looking for a pair of cheap(ish) headphones that people feel greatly benefit from recabling.  I am new to playing with cables and I want to find a pair of cans that will benefit from this DIY.  Any suggestions?

Also, anyone know some good value earbud/IEM headphones with an inline remote for iPod shuffles?  My cat decided that he had a grudge against the remote section...

They're available at Walmart if you're in the USA

I would like to try those...but I thought they were only in Canada?  I will have to swing by a wal-mart and see for myself I suppose!

As a scientist myself, I find this a little hard to believe...surely conductivity factors, crystal lattice integrity of the metal and a variety of other factors could affect the passage of the signal.  If it is scientifically proven as you say, it must be published literature in a peer-reviewed journal.  Do you have a source?
