This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...

I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...

I didn't think of TEAC when I began searching for a dedicated CD player. My initial short list included Denon, Cambridge, Marantz, Onkyo. The Teac intrigued me, so I went for it. It is very...

Why not reterminate your HD595s with a mini plug then get a 1/8">>1/4" plug adapter?
If the jacks' tabs are not making good contact, try bending them inward a bit with a safety pin.
Aside from that, the ipod touch's jack is replaceable. I don't know about the Clip, though.

How would I go about reterminating them? Just do like this thread says and cut the 1/4 then solder on the 1/8?

Yup.
You cut off the old plug, carefully cut away the outer jacket (~1" or a little less), then carefully cut away the insulation on each wire (~ about half as much as you cut away for the outer jacket), tin each wire (try not to leave any exposed copper), then add the plug casing and insulation, then you solder the wires to the plug. Lastly, you slip on the insulation and screw on the barrel and test the headphone, make sure it works properly. I then like to unscrew the barrel and add epoxy to seal the interior of the plug and finalize the thing. It'll be a PITA to remove the epoxy if you find that you screwed up, so you do that at the very end after testing your work.
