Philips had the SHP8000, an older headphone if I am correct. It's a nice headphone by the way...
And this would be relevant how?
AKG K551 out soon.

It looks exactly the same (or VERY closely related to) as the K550/1

Is it difficult to reduce the cable length of the k550 to 1.2m without damaging the headphones?

If your competent with a soldering iron, should be a simple task. Just open the headphones, pull the wire in till it's the desired length. Cut and solder. Then screw it all back together. This way you get to keep the 3.5mm plug at the bottom.

Well IMO it looks pretty similar, but that's just me. Akg did make some design improvements however.

For me, it's a function of my years spent as a graphic designer. Spotting small subtleties (or changes in a shape's lines) becomes a matter of habit. But if you ever get bored you can try this as an exercise:
1. Using one continuous line, draw out what the K551 looks like as accurately as possible - in the sense that if you were to show someone else who knew what the K551 looks like, they would recognize it instantly.
2. Do the same with the Philips.
3. Compare the drawings.

AKG PR said I won't be getting these. I'm small time. 
I need 100,000 subs before they will consider me. I will have to buy one.

LOL Hifiguy528 is small-time? I feel like AKG is out of touch these days. Next thing you know, they'll be calling Tyll small-fry.
