You're right, it is a 3,5mm socket. So I'll just change the cable.
I let the cable hang overnight with a weight and it is considerably better now. Still want to coil a bit, but not annoying anymore.
Doing a little more in-depth testing with the new set against the old (with flipped driver panel) and they're pretty close. Just to satiate some curiosity, I ran some sine wave sweeps through them clamped against my Blue Snowball and recorded into audacity. Looks like the crossover between the drivers is around 200Hz, and there's a pretty notable dip there. Giving it a little EQ boost at that spot seems to help round out the mids a lot better. Also popped a little dip at 8khz which pretty much completely resolves the sibiliance I was getting.
I've found these also respond in very different ways to various types of pads. Only tried a few, but some very thick angled pleather pads seem to both clean up and yet intensify the bass (bassheads dream at that point). Velours similar in thickness to the stock pads remove some of the boominess without getting things too intense. I'm thinking of picking up a set of thick angled hybrids or fenestrated leather pads to try out. Get the cleaning up benefits of getting the drivers a little farther away from the ear, plus a little plushness/venting to let a bit of that bass pressure out.
