Quick Rant Start:
I can recall only two headphones ever going out and they're both from Grado. I'm sure I've had others that failed me, but were more likely than not the cheapos that came with portable cassette, then disc players (so the almost disposable ones).
I had the SR 60's for about a year or so before one of the earcups fell off. The plastic that holds the steel rod broke and I couldn't figure out a way to fix it so out they went. Now, I dug out an old pair of SR 40's to use at the office, which have had almost no use on them, and the speakers keep cutting in and out with every movement of my head. As these are all plastic with nothing to take apart, they, too, will more likely than not be in the trash soon.
I hope the 225's and RS-1's at the house have better longevity than Grado's lower-end models.
Jeesh!
