I bought this because I damaged the cable of my HD 428. This one's cable is detachable, and you get a short and long cable. Therefore, if you damage one, you have another to use. The sound quality is awesome; I love it. I fully recommend that you get it at Adorama because shipping is free, and they ship it RIGHT AWAY.

The closed-back design and Around-Ear breathable plush cushions provide natural ambient noise reduction and long-lasting comfort. The padded headband is adjustable to snugly fit virtually any head size. There are 2 exchangeable single-sided cables, one short and one long, to provide the perfect amount of slack and minimal tangles for varying applications.
