Hi there! Please excuse me if this thread is in the wrong place or if I am breaking any rules, I'm new here.
Recently my Koss PortaPros cable's jacket (I think it is called) had been pulled too much (I presume) and caused the right headphone ear to stop working, but it works if I twist the cable a bit, but that's kind of a big hassle if I want to listen to music properly.
Anyway, I have had 5 PortaPros totally and 4 of them broke the same way (either the right or left ear stopped working), and even though the PortaPros were quite fine to me as portable headphones, I've had enough of the shoddy build quality and am looking for an upgrade with better comfort and sound.
Yesterday I looked up the big review thread and stumbled upon the Creative Aurvana Live! headphones. They look nice, appears to be extremely comfortable, the sound quality is better than the PortaPros, isolation is a bit bad but overall value is the same (or was it better? can't remember).
Anyway, I read a bit more about them and found them a very attractive option and fits my budget just about too ($120. According to the thread the street price should be 100, but me living in Sweden some things are a little bit more expensive)
Anyway, before I make the purchase I would like to know if there are any other headphones with the same value (the sound quality must be same or better), be relatively portable and carry the same pricetag or lower.
