So they are neither open nor closed.
I just ordered a pair anyhow, obviously I hope they sound great but my main desire is to have a pair of cans I can lounge around in, every other pair I have had, Senn 600's, AKG 601's and now Grado 80's has fallen to bits cable wise - sound in one ear goes and it's onto a new brand.
These look sturdy and have just the one sided cable - I have high hopes.
If anyone has any insight into what causes this, does the copper cable inside literally snap, is the connection at the end of it pulled loose by an unfortunate snag?
Could of bought another pair of Senns the number of cables I had to replace.
