I dunno about AR Cascade's, but mine certainly say they were picked up at 18:36.

EDIT:  And I already got the spare smaller Brainwavz 1.3m cable.  $9.50 shipped, not bad:  http://www.mp4nation.net/brainwavz-hm5-spare-cable-1-3m
 
..

Cables from Brainwavz are nice and short.  Shipped within 1 week. Would recommend the shorter cable!

 
Is the cable detachable from the headphones?

The Digitech Pro Monitor Headphones seem like a really good bargain to me. But can anyone please tell me how they measure up when listening to metal/rap/hiphop?

I haven't gotten mine in the mail yet (it's a tragedy, I know.) but they're a very neutral pair of headphones, so it's not going to be very boomy in the low-end, but will be more punchy.

Yes! One of my favorite parts of the headphone.

Awesome! Would you say they are well worth the $50 when burned in?

Since I'm in Michigan, United States and the headphones are in Sydney, Australia, I can only speak from how they're regarded on Head-Fi. I can say this, the Jaycar is identical to the Fischer FA-003 and Brainwavs HM5, two headphones that cost twice as much and are still regarded as amazing deals.For $50, these are said to be one of the best deals out there.
 
But the shipping is downright treacherous. It took two weeks for them to even get it out of their warehouse. SMH

I would say that they would be well worth it at $200 (what I paid for my used FA-003) provided that one likes their sound sig

 

[Noisesupressor]

As soon as I know what shipping would cost to the Netherlands and how long it would take to get them I am buying a pair (does anyone happen to know this?). I have no idea how the FA-003 sounds but seen from the reviews they seem decent to say the least. As people are saying that these two headphones are more or less identical with regards to the sound I am willing to take the $50 gamble. Plus the detachable cord does it for me. I have had more than enough problems with broken cords so replacing will finally be fast and easy instead of soldering till infinity.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Jaycar wants customers from the Netherlands to go through their Australian website, which charges $80+$25 for international shipping for the headphone. You may have better luck looking for the Lindy Premium Hi-Fi, which is the same as the Jaycars/Brainwavs/Fischer's. They all come from a factory in Taiwan called Yoga, and are all Yoga's CD-880 headphone, which the companies buy in bulk and re-sell.
 
Edit: There's hope afterall! An American Head-Fi member, Night Crawler, is selling his Jaycars through the For Sale forum. He's OK with shipping internationally.

 

[Noisesupressor]

Ah damn, that is bad news. Thanks for the heads up. Checked Lindy's version but that is going to cost me approx the same as getting the headphones from Jaycar. Don't get why there is such a big difference in price on the Jaycar website, considering that the Netherlands is next to the UK. Well, except for additional profit that is. 
 
And another thanks for your edit, I pm´ed him

Yeah, it's almost here. Hopefully DHL Express ships on Saturday.
