Hello first of all, I have been a member for quite some time but never really posted. But the forum was really helpful for suggesting good headphones and especially for the discovery of the Koss KSC75 which in my country I don't think anyone knows they exist. 
Over the past year I owned two pair of Sennheiser headphones which I considered to be in the high-end category but maybe I was wrong. Since I mostly use my headphones for PC gaming and music I purchased the Sennheiser PC150 headset. After a couple of months of using them the left channel of the headphones began to cut out the sound constantly. I actually figured the problem was coming from the volume control since when pressing it down a bit the sound actually came again but after sometime this did not work anymore and the left channel was totally gone, the right one worked perfectly.
Later I bought the Sennheiser HD485's since I thought that without the volume control the problem would not persist. The sound is plainly awesome, they are comfortable ecc. But at some point last week I was watching a movie on my pc and in a blink the right channel was gone without any sound. I tried to increase the volume of the pc and at some point the sound actually came back but after some time again the sound was completely gone. I was so frustrated that when I hit the right channel against my ear I actually hear something but that isn't quite an option isn't it? All of this after only two months using the headphones.
Did anyone have these problems with Sennheiser? I mean it could be just my luck but I will never ever buy Sennheiser headphones again. In fact I purchased another set of KSC75's with a VC20 volume control because they are the most reliable pair of headphones I have ever had and they sound great. Thank you for your feedback.
