Thanks for writing.

Twenty years would be just about right.

There have been a number of successive generations to the 440 over the years, and if you're looking for an exact replacement, you'll be looking for a long time!

First: In that style range, there are no more supra-aural models. Doughnuts rule. The only supra-aural types are the more miniature 2** series. Pretty good headphones in their own right, but perhaps a bit petite for your requirements.

My recommendation, based on style, type and sound quality, not necessarily price or specs, would be HD 428 or HD 448. These are closed back models, as opposed to yours, but they acquit themselves well in overall sound. Wearing comfort and weight are about par.

If you need open style, you really have no choice but to move up to the 500 series. The 518 would make the most sense here. Quite a bit larger in style, these are considered *High End*.

All of this having been said,

Why not fix yours? You can get pads, you can get cables, you can't get capsules, but if they're still working, why ditch them? You know better than I do what shape they're in, but I'll put that out there.

(Interesting email address. Good thing I'm not a zoologist. My sister is, though.)

Kidding aside, need more info? Please let me know.
