I don't know about MOST durable, but the HD 280 Pros are pretty durable...

they're probably not technically headphones, but I think streetstyles come in at top spot of durability, you can mutilate them and they'll keep their shape, but they sound like crap.

The funny thing about that is my Sony Streetstyles are the only headphones I have ever ripped to shreds. Not out of anger either. The cord got caught in my bicycle chain while I was riding and it almost ripped my head off. Lucky for me, the headband was thin enough to break instead of taking my neck with it.

HAHA, that's hilarious, I've had loads of encounters like that, but I have G72s, maybe there's a difference??...I mean, you'd think they'd be weaker, since they have the joint in the back anyway.

The DT770's seem pretty tanklike to me, it would take a lost of abuse to phase these cans.

V-Moda Crossfade m-80 or v-80.

Look at Tyll's from Innerfidelity review on youtube you'll then know how underrated these are

I recall complaints about their headband design (interestingly also used by DT440/660/860 and some Ultrasone models) being prone to cracking ?

I'm not sure why this thread has been dug up from the grave, but I'll play.  I would think the Sony MDR V6 would have a place of honor in the durable headphone list.

The Sony V6. Mine is 23 years old and works fine. I just needed to replace the earpads.
