I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread. I kind of need a good set of headphones, too.
OP
Just looking for a decent set for practice here at home. Not trying to impress anyone with the name brand or pricetag...

Totally get it. Me too. I want a very neutral set of headphones. Very often, retail headphones, like what you'd find at Walmart, have a real bass emphasis. I don't want that.

My plight exactly. I gave my set to my 15 year old.

I like those better than the Audeze LCD-4z's we used at Capitol.
For practice? Not trying to impress? Okay then…here:
Simple, decent sound, good isolation, standard audio cabling(standard size TRS headphone audio cable, on both ends, is easy to find if you ever need a replacement).
I have an older version. For me, they’ve been comfortable, and pretty robust.

If I’m looking for a new set of studio cans, the ATH-M50X would be at the top of my list.

There's no boosted frequencies in them and they're very comfortable for long periods.

On a side note, I got these recently. They're supposed to mimic the sound of being able to place you're amp anywhere in the room so that if you move, the direction of sound moves relative to you but it just sounds like a panning effect to me and I end up sitting trying to keep my head still to keep the sound equal in each ear

Precisely why i avoided Vintage 30's Greenbacks, Creambacks and most other Celestion speakers - the artificially boosted frequency response.
And you are correct that those are dyellar headphones!!!!

So, just any 1/4 instrument cable can be subbed for the stock cable???
Interesting!!!!
Not exactly. It's got to be a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) cable. Most standard 1/4" instrument cables, like your typical guitar cables, are TS (Tip-Sleeve) cables.

TS:
Many people will refer to a TRS cable as a "stereo" cable, though this is technically incorrect. It is true that a TRS cable is used to carry stereo audio, as would be the case with these headphones. But, TRS cables are also used to carry balanced mono audio.
TRS headphone audio 1/8 inch small stereo audio cable. The ones commonly available to connect an audio player to a car stereo auxiliary input.
