Just because you've had bad luck with a few high end gear you can't dismiss everything high end as failure on quality aspects.
That said, HD800 paint chipping happens easily even if you baby them, I know this coming from 3 HD800's the last one I recently sold and I would most likely buy again in the future when I don't have Stax fever. I have to agree that Sennheiser put effort into a world class headphone but only using schitty paint that easily comes off, which why I would be buying from Colorware in the future.
But to be honest I think high-end gear is not for you as you seem cursed with them![Wink :wink: :wink:](https://cdn.head-fi.org/e/people/wink.svg)
Maybe stick with mid-fi gear?
