My apologies if this is a long one, as i want to be as thorough as possible to make it easier on everyone.
My luck with headphones is terrible, someone once told me that everyone has one thing that will always break on them, for me that is headphones, even though i am extremely careful with headphones,i have had a sennheiser HD201, 2 sony MDR-V6's and now an audio technica ATH-M40x die on me for one reason or another, for me who lives on a limited budget that is problematic.
As such i'm looking for a new pair of headphones, however this time i'd like to play it a little smarter and get a durable set of headphones with good sound if at all possible.
I prefer neutral sounding headphones like the ath-m40x's and sony mdr-v6's, this is mainly due to the fact that i listen to all genre's of music, from classical, rock, metal, pop, even game and movie soundtracks, while i am willing to try a differing sounding pair of headphones, i will still be listening to all genre's with these headphones.
I will be using these for hours a day, as i spend alot of time at my computer working on various projects.
My sound card has a integrated headphone amp, so i will not be needing a amp.
Durability is key for me, while i am looking at both the audio technica ath-m50x and the vmoda crossfade lp2, i'm leaning more towards the lp2 simply because my luck with the ath-m40x's make me doubt the durability of the m50x, even though i've heard the lp2's tend to favor bass.
Open or closed is something i'm unsure on, i'm willing to try open however i do live in a fairly noisy environment, all of my headphones have been closed back.
I'd like a long cable if possible, but if need be i will get an extender cable.
Detachable cables would be nice, but it's not required as long as the headphones are durable.
As i said before i'm looking at the ath m50x's and the vmoda crossfade lp2's, mainly because i know little about what else i could get, thus why i'm asking for suggestions, i'm willing to listen to anything.
Any help is much appreciated, as i said i am a fan of neutral sounding headphones so neutral and durable would be best if at all possible.
