I have had the ATH-A500 from Audio Technica March 2005 and they have been great and have held up fine. Though now after nearly 5 years of use they are stating to fall apart and all the padding is dead on them,
The two major complaints I have had over the last 5 years are as follows
1) The riser head pads are horrible and force me to wash my hair numerous times a day. The compress my hair down and I look ridiculous, which forces me to take a shower every time I leave the house after I wear them or else I have two big indentations on my head. Also if you wear them long enough you also get indentations from the ear pads in the hair.
2)The cable continually winds and gets tangled in itself, forcing me to always have to unwind it, likely have to do this 3-4x a day or most of the cable is wound up in itself.
Im looking for something better which does not have these problems but has similar sound quality or better sound quality for a similar price or slightly more expensive prices, respectively.
Main use will be for my Computer out of a Audigy 2 ZS which i feel is fine.
