I think I'm developing a compulsive disorder regarding this. Let's say the ones you have last 15 years, and there's no way you can get the same pair again. Would you buy two or three of the same just to be safe? Especially in regards to spare parts, be it pads, wires etc.

I've done that with the Koss UR40. Had the original version since about 2004 when i wasnt seriously into headphones then started using them again regularly in 2006. When hearing how fantastic they sounded after using so many cheap headphones that broke in a week i brought myself another pair to be safe which turned out to be the newer bassier titanium version. That started my journey looking for great sounding headphones. The Koss UR40 usually sell around thirty or forty dollars so price wasnt a problem. My other headphones are built like tanks so i see no need to buy more then one.
