Sennheiser PMX 100

[S3TUP]

3 months ago i got these pmx100. At first, i was a bit confused, because their highs sounded too loud and crisp, so i felt some pain in ears/head. Moreover, they seemed uncomfortable because their hard foam pads. I tried to soften them as mentioned on some Grado topics, with no success. Then, i gave them time and after 24h burn-in + ~20h of listening i felt them more comfortable (the pads loose their hardness, or i just used to them). Head pain has gone, and i enjoyed music, till the moment i found their sounding changed (a week ago). There were no more crisp highs and stage in their sound. Today i tried to compare them to my old hd565, and found wire that comes out from headphones (thick one) broken. Arghh, what a bad luck.
Currently i'm thinking about recabling them (or just cutting the broken part of wire)... And... i still love them. Their soundstage is amazing for their size.

Any ideas where to get better cable for them?

Anyone know if these are available via a US retailer yet?

Speaking of upcoming products, any word on the grado streetsyles either - would be quite a showdown between these two.

amazon.com has listed them as of 12/25ish or so, and a distributor we use at work here has them listed as coming in late jan. so i'd think they should be soon....
