After some researching I got the impression that the KNS6400s would serve better for monitoring, however, I could not find a place in Europe I could order replacement cables from . Don't you happen to know such a dealer?

Thanks, those are also within reach!   I guess I have to do some more reviewreading 

Wow! Thaks for the quick reply! Although I would use SRH-840 pads, if the SRH-440 are fragile, they are not meant for me.. Unfortunately almost all the phones you recommended are out of my budget right now.. I would love to have headphones of unquestionable quality but I'll save that option...

Hi everybody!   I'm a 2nd grade film student and right now I am venturing into the world of headphones... and I really could use some help! I need full-size, closed-back headphones mainly for monitoring when shooting but also for editing.   So far I have been using mainly cheap...
