they've been my trusty companions for over 2 years now

No I would not. The highs that the DT 880's have are definitely emphasized compared to other headphones. Instead of neutral, I'd call it a very revealing headphone. The HD 595's I have are noticeably less revealing (although not necessarily less forgiving) but more neutral than the DT 880's...

You can pry my HD 25-1's from my cold, dead hands.

sounds like the perfect match for my HD-595's ..

I don't think a PX-100 would be tight enough. I'm seriously considering buying a PMX-100 for this purpose though

Thank you all for a wonderful meet! There were great people to meet, great headphones to try and lovely foodstuffs to eat

although the sennheiser HD 202's are decent for their price, they are nowhere near as good as your px-100's! if you're looking at closed headphones with a sound quality comparable or better than your px-100's, then the AKG K81 DJ's are really a bargain that you should consider. i have similar...

another popular choice would be the Sennheiser HD 25's. also very durable and isolating, but these smaller cans rest on your ears and you can swivel one cup away. these have a much stronger bass response (and general impact) than the HD 280's. the standard 70ohm model (25-1) has a steel cable...

you should try measuring the ohmage of this headphone. the cable is probably a 25-13 cable, and if the headphone measure at 600ohm, you bought a pair of 25-13's.

i saw a DJ sporting the HD 25-1's at a club last friday

If you primarily watch movies and play games, i'd recommend the 555's over the 595's. For music the 595's are more enjoyable. The 580's paired with a cheap amp might be right for you as well.

I used to own the predecessor to the EH 350's, the HD 497's, and I think I can safely say that it won't be a big upgrade. Unless the 350's have improved a lot upon the 497's, the sound will just be somewhat more balanced, with more emphasis on the highs than the PX100's. However, this could also...

a very popular 'fullsize' portable headphone here is the AKG K81, you might want to stretch your budget just a little bit to get those headphones. they offer pretty much everything you'd want from a portable headphone for a very reasonable price

listening to SOAD with my 595's right now, plenty of weight to the guitars, plenty of kick on the drums, plenty of attack on the snare, plenty of extention on the hihats. No complaints heter depending on the quality of the record, the cymbals/hihats can be a bit gritty though

perfect feedback, no worries

the 25-1 and 25-13 cables are asymmetric, but you can wrap right end of the symmetric 25-sp cable around the square piece of plastic that secures the cable to the right driver. that way, you can use the 25-sp cable without the dreaded Y you could always buy the 25-13 cable and reterminate it...

if you don't mind a somewhat bulky connector, you could always cut the broken plug off and solder a new one on
