Oh, guess I should answer the question.

Denon AH-D750 - they were bought with a digital piano (Yamaha Clavinova) in IIRC, 1993, which would make them 14 years old.

Nice cans, but they don't compare with the Sennheisers I have.

I am Also Fairly New To Head Fi But I Recently Saw some post about superex Headphones & I also grew up listining to them My Father had the ST-M Model They Were grey and oblong & Just Recently I Spotted them on Ebay For 24 Dollars & Bought them I also Have A pair Of ST-Pro_B IV from 1973 & I think the superex headphones sound better than my Koss Pro4 AA & My Pro4AAA In Some Respects because they have a better bass response & I think they also have cleaner highs tones then the koss headphones.

Around 4-5 years I think, but really not sure. . .
* AKG K1000 -> ~4-5 years.
* Stax SR-404 -> ~3 years.
* Stax SR-007BL -> 2 1/2 years.
* Stax 4070 -> 1 1/2 years.

I'd say it would have to be my Koss Pro4AA's. They are the ones from like the '70s... so almost 40 years....

But after I joined here, they now sound like crap compared to my HD485/HD600/DT880.... IMHO...

No idea how old they are, but my K240Ms appear to be an early set. Box mentions passive radiators.

I'm waiting to read where someone is stilling burning in their 20-30 year old phones, 'cause they really mellow out after 200,000 hours.

1989 Sony MDR-R10. Bought as a NOS 2 years ago though, so it is in a perfect shape.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD-455s I think like 15 Years ago. The last time I saw them the foam earpads were disintegrating. Now I can't find them at all, maybe they disintergrated entirely? Weird
