Depending on the version you have the cable is probably not meant to be portable and is built for intense studio use.
I have the le version with the 1.2 meters angled plug cable and I find it great for portable use, the angled plug is great for mp3s with the jack on the side like the clip.
What you want is a version of the hd25 for non pros, the day senn makes a gen pop version of the hd25 will be a day of joy and celebration.
for such a nice and expensive headphone, the cable is wholly sub-par.
First, I'm not a fan of L type connectors. My iPhone is always in my pocket and I put too much stress on it by having it in there then pulling up. In fact, the right speaker is already starting to cut out because of this.
Second, it's too damn long. It could be about 10 to 12 inches shorter
Third, it's too thick.
How about an iPhone mic, Sennheiser? I was thinking of swapping the original with the 414 wire:

?
Is there anything else out there that's thinner with a straight plug end? I don't have much experience with soldering, but I do know the neutrik plugs are too big, so even then, I feel like I'm SOL.
Any help would be appreciated.
Those are all features that come in really handy when DJ'ing. The L-connector is more favorable too make the cable run downwards when you're standing behind a mixer. Additional length is always nice when you're reaching for your records or whatever
Just got my HD25-1 II a couple of hours ago and they're firmly glued to my ears. I love them, that's all there is to it. They sound like grown-up versions of the PX200-II, but with harsher highs and much better everything else. The bass punch and control is there, the forward mids, everything. Every good thing I've read about these cans I oh so true.
On the downside, the build quality seems kind of weak. I got them used from DJ and the left earcup is a bit loose, sliding up and down. No big problem though, they are still perfectly usable. And for the record, they have the 2 meter cable with a straight plug. I should have asked before buying, but they're still usable as portables. Heck, I think I might just sell all my cans and keep these.
