It's About That Time Again

It's about that time again to buy some more headphones. There's not really a budget since I'm looking for headphones and I just need them to listen while recording when I will not be allowed to have my monitors on.
 
Here's a few I have my eyes on:
 
1. http://www.zzounds.com/item--AKGK240STU I was thinking about the AKG K240s. They have a detachable cable. I just want to know what would be a negative on these headphones. Could attaching and re attaching cable cause any type of static or whatever in the headphones.
 
2. http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKKNS6400 I was thinking about getting these just because I like the monitors so much. I don't know.
 
3. http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTATHD40FS It should allow me to hear low frequencies
 
4. http://www.zzounds.com/item--SNYMDR7506 I don't know how good these are seen a couple of reviews and they seem to like them.
 
I'm taking other recommendations as well.  However the headphone must last a couple of years.  I need them to be reliable.

    I've got one of the AKG240's.  The detachable/replaceable cord is a great idea, especially for the klutz like.  I've replaced it once.  I leave mine attached to the headset, I don't unplug/plug it in on the headset end.

    The AKG240 is my main headset and works good, even though it's not a "high $$ studio" headset.

    I have multiple sets of the predecessor to 7506's, the Sony V6's and love them! I've had one of the pairs for over twenty years and replaced the cushions a couple of years ago.
