I haven't owned a pair of cans for over 10 years. It's amazing to know that it still functions and sounds great after 30 years.

Now comes the difficult part...... how can I justify new cans to my wife when the old ones still work fine after 30 years?......

ibuds will last longer than you if you do what most head-fiers do with them (absolutely nothing, just what they are good for)

This is where Bose might come in handy. Just show her all of their claims and how technology has changed so much. Not sure what you sould say when she asks why your new 'phones don't say Bose on them.

I have several headphones far older than me, and am gathering a supply of the parts that wear out (e.g. pads and elastics) so I can keep them going for quite a while.

You get what you pay for.... the cheap sony's or panasonics last probably no longer than a year.... i can't count how many pairs i've gone through...
the better headphones are build better.... and last longer
