I believe that would be the HD424.

This replies before thread start thing is getting pretty funny, now the first reply comes in a whole minute early.

HD420SL, btw. If you have a sweet spot for slightly mid-centric cans, these are far from the worst to have. I've always thought that they sound very "open". Not much soundstage, positioning critical (typical supraaural). Pretty light and comfy once worn-in. No replacement pads available any more but the cloth covers can be washed and stuffed with whatever you deem comfy.

I have a pair of those. They're OK. My HF1 beats the snot out of them though. :p

Would they have been worth it?

Well yes, that certainly - even about 4 times as much would still have been OK. One probably shouldn't expect them to play very loudly on the average crappy PCDP, but other than that I'd prefer them to pretty much anything new below the 30€ mark.
