Yes the DT880 pads fit perfectly as well!
As far as how they stack up against other phones, I'd say they beat out the HD600. The soundstage on these is pretty damn big and they have far more detail. Also the mids are more resolving and the bass is tighter and even better controlled.
As for the DT880 I'd say I still prefer my DT880 as I like more meat on Them Bones (Alice in Chains reference
).
Now compared to AKG's I'd say these 435S's are a bit better for a wider range of stuff, but the AKG has more detail. As for neutrality the 435S's win. Not that the K702 isn't incredibly neutral, but it's an artificially created neutrality. Now the bass on the 435S's isn't exactly neutral, but not overdone like many other phones.
