I got my HD280Pros a while ago (a couple years ago or so) and they are finally starting to crack around where the screws are. I figure that I have some time before they are completely unwearable, but I would like to get some suggestions in advance.
First of all, is there a way to properly repair the headband? I'd love to keep these babys for as long as possible, but if they're going to break then it's no use prolonging the inevitable.
I've looked around before and some suggestions that I got the last time were for the Sony V6's, the A900's, and I think one other headphone that I can't remember. What I'm using them for is casual music listening off of my computer which has an Audigy 2ZS and some competitive gaming. I know it's not the greatest, but I'm a college student so give me a break. The music I'm listening to is ripped anywhere from 192k to 320k or FLAC or CD. My pricerange is around $100 and I'm specifically looking for closed circumaural headphones (supraaurals aren't out of the question as long as they're super comfy). I have a pair of open cans (HD570's, again not the greatest, but they're not bad). I would prefer that they would be easy to drive as I have no amp and no reason to get one as my source is not the greatest. The type of music I listen to ranges from rock to various types of metal (progressive, melodic death, thrash etc.) to techno/trance to classical. I enjoy my HD280pro's quite a bit, but I wouldn't mind trying something new. Thanks in advance.
