Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Yep, it's the 428 and it does fit my criteria (just) with its impossibly stringy ~4ft cable.

All the known 10/11 and the Sennheiser HD428!!!

Edit: Oops, didn't notice someone got it right already.

Congrats! I would have never guessed.
I looked at all sennheiser headphones on amazon and I always excluded the circumaural ones from my count...

I so dearly hope I got it right... ljokerl said we'd be "a bit surprised... or peeved... not sure", and that would be in line with a headphone we mentioned but got ignored.
 
I noticed that the only mention of the HD428 is in a double-guess that joker shot down saying there is a one guess every 12-hour restriction.  And it is pretty much the only "normal" phone left, I think.  It has a short cord I think; my friend owned it.
 
So again, just in case my guess is 10/11 + Sennheiser HD428
or
 
Sony: ZX700, V6
Sennheiser: PX100-ii, HD428
Audio Technica: SQ5, FC700
Ultrasone: 15G, 650
Philips: The Stretch
Pioneer: SE-MJ5
AKG: Q460

what's the prize?

Well, congratulations either way. Both Sennheiser's website and Amazon say the HD428 has a 3m/10foot cable. They must have updated it or something. BLAH! :frowning2: I noticed that we had skirted around it (418, 438, 448) but the 10 foot cable excluded it from the requirements. Or so I thought.

Ah, I never checked the specifications but I'm wearing them right now and the cord is definitely shorter than the 5' one on my HD25 since I've ripped them off my head once or twice already. I guess you can all blame the Sennheiser/Amazon conspiracy for this one.
 
@Hayang: PM me your mailing address and I'll get something out to you on my next trip to the PO.

Same here :/ Multiple sources on youtube say it's 10 ft long as well..
But congrats to Hayang!
 
EDIT: Apparently the HD428S version that is sold more frequently on ebay has a 1.4m cable, which would explain it.

So can you give us a hint on this last one? please? sennheiser makes way too many models lol... Even an obscure hint would help...

I think it's a bit early for that - there's still three full days left in the contest.


 

Ok, that makes sense, forgot about the deadline... Who's up for 3 solid days of "Guess that Sennheiser!"?
 
EDIT: Whoops, posted way late...
