My Panasonic HTF600s have fallen to pieces and my MDR 7506s are soon to follow (duck-taped together), so I'm in the market for another pair of full size, closed headphones. I don't want something super analytical like my MDRs, but I want something durable (unlike the Panasonics *although they are well built for $30) since my headphones are subject to dogs and constantly falling off of tables. 
 
My budget is $100 since It's very unlikely that I can make anything last more than a year. I'd like a detachable cable that can be easily replaced (lots of chewed cables).

AKG K512 MKII.  A little bright but can be EQd.  Very fun.  Unlike any under $100 headphone I've listened to.  I use them for work primarily but they surprise me when I'm a bit more analytical.

If you break these, you deserve a medal. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-PRO700MK2-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B004KCLIFA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350818875&sr=8-1&keywords=audio+technica+700mk2

Look at SHO7205 which is a cost effective headphone of philips。 It were introduced as the most solid headphone.

 
Aren't those on ear (not full size)?

I prefer not to EQ, but I'll check them out.

Look good but way over budget.
 
 
None of those have a removable cable (except the phillips but it has that weird one that is hard to find in good quality), which is something I really do need. How about the Shure 440s? Has anyone heard anything good/bad about the sound/durability?

Well, you said you will probably break them so 100$ is your max, and you wouldnt be able to break the 700Mk2 so I figured you could spend more Also has removable cable.

Try the Koss Pro DJ 100. It's under $80 and built like a tank. Made out of metal and has a lifetime warranty.
You could throw them across the room multiple times and they'd probably live. If not, send them back to Koss!

No removable cable and I hate those pads (can't find any velour ones for them).

You're being too picky, M50 pads fit Koss PRo DJ 100s, so do the Sony V6 pads.

Well, you cant have everything 

 
The pads issue is not a big deal though.

The hinges wouldn't survive. The metal also scratches easily. I find this to be a design flaw. I shouldn't need to keep my headphones in a case to prevent them from being damaged.

Sorry I've been absent from this thread. I am still looking for headphones though. My Sony's hinge is now in complete pieces and they are pretty much made of electrical tape now. Are those tony bennet's circumaural or on-ear? Any good pads for them (fell in love with velour on my sony's)?

Think I might be sold on the bennett's after reading that thread (even though I don't know who tony bennett is.) I guess I can 'try' keeping them in the case. Hope they sound good on the pa2v2.
