How durable are the HP910?

[Thai Fighter]

I'm considering buying the HP910, cause I saw them at a bargain price of $55.
The HP890 and HP895 also seem to be good value for money.

I already know that the HP890 break easily, therefore I'd like to ask you all if it's also true for the HP910? There aren't two many reviews of the HP910, but I haven't read anyone complain about their durability.

This is quite important.
Does anyone know?

Nothing Philips make is built like a tank, not even their top model HP1000. It's the price you pay for good cost/performance.

I ruined my first pair of HP890s after a couple of weeks but my replacement pair have been fine and have worked for years. Just keep in mind that Philips products are fragile and try not to drop it off your desk or anything.

Actually, they're very hard to get nowadays.
It's some kind of an exhibition model if I'm not mistaken.

you guys expect to drop your cans

maybe that's why i think the hp805 are the best budget can of all time, i got them from a friend and he told me they only cost about 20 dollars.

DO check out sgrossklasses thread on the HP805.With reduced treble,the HP805s sound like juicy fruit !

Actually, my headphones never fall off my desk, so they don't have to be that durable.

Anyway, the seller raised the price from $55 to $85 on the HP910 and I'm not eager to risk buying a pair of uncertain condition at that price.

Since the HP805 are so durable, I might be interested in the HP895...
