    HD800's not doing it for me, any recommendations? (reasons explained inside)

    So I'm not particularly impressed with the build quality of the HD800s for the price paid. The cable is weak, it died really quickly and the replacement cables cost an arm and a leg. The headband has its notches all snapped and so it doesn't sit on the top of the headset properly anymore, needs...
