So, I just sent back my second pair of sony noise canceling headphones (I think they were the MDRNC7s) after they snapped in two places and lost sound in the right ear. Seems to me that portable phones will inevitably break. But, thanks to the replacement plan I had invested in, I got a 60 dollar refund in the form of a radioshack gift certificate.
I've been looking on radioshack.com and found that pickin's are pretty slim for over the head wired phones in the $60-100 range. I would be using them on the bus for a few hours a day, but am skeptical about getting the portable type for the above reason. Would full size phones be all that annoying to carry around? I've narrowed the possibilities down to the JVC HA S900, the JVC HA RX900 and the KOSS Pro 4AAT. The S900s are portable, but are also more expensive and I assume are more fragile. The RX900s and KOSS seem like they'd block out sound and be more durable, but I can't tell which is the best between them.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
