I own Beyerdynamic DT 250/80 headphones. Their durability seems otherwise great, except for the cable running inside the headband. The soft headband is easily removable, and underneath runs the signal cable from left cup to right cup. I noticed that the cable wears pretty quickly in those sptos, where headband length can be adjusted(I mean those spots inside the headband, where the "telescopic" joints are).
I actually used some hefty tape to reinforce those spots of the cable where it tends to wear , and now the cable slides nicely inside the headband without twisting, even when I slide the headband adjustment all the way in(to the shortest position). If I hadn't taped the cable, it could've worn all the way to the wires running inside the cable.
I would like to ask, that if someone could check the cable inside the headband and tell here that is your cable worn? If it is, then maybe it's time for you too to do some taping.
*And BTW: Is there supposed to be a strong "clicking feel" when adjusting the headband length? Mine just slides pretty smoothly, and I barely can feel those "steps" in the adjustment.
