my m50s have recently started to rip along the top of the headband, i was wondering if theres anything i can do to prevent this from happening in the future or happening to my ear pads.  Here are pics of the damage  

are they worth the price? im not getting the pros just the regular ones, there $75 on amazon. are there any other iems that are better for the price? also are they good for hiphop/rap listening?

I bought the m50's a couple of months ago and the clamping has been kind of hard on my head.. iv tried stretching them for about 3 hours or so. over a couple of towels, but they still clamp pretty hard. i also dont want to stretch them too much because then i could lose the isolation. i remember...

ok. so im looking for a new pair of iem for hip hop and rap for under $50... iv been looking and the klipsch which is a little over my budget, but i dont think im gonna go over $80 and also iv been looking at the bose IE2 im also open to any other suggestions, oh and the headphones also...
