I have owned an M50 for about two years. Although it still sound good, the headband's pleather flaking is a concern. I just want a studio headphone that is durable and probably won't flake as bad as M50. Recommendations please, thank you.

HI, I had a similar problem. Just bought a pair of Takstar Pro80's after looking at the reviews on this site. Still waiting for them to arrive but check out these links.
