What would be the longest lasting pair of headphones I could buy?
I typically only buy headphones in the "cheap" range due to the fact they usually only last 2 years at best, but I have some money and would like to experience better sound if possible. I don't actually treat my headphones that badly, but somehow they always break...
I currently own HD 681 EVO's, and previously had JVC-HARX900 which broke after I think 2 years- likely the right ear, and a pair of samson s850, also broke after a year or so. As you can see I prefer semi- open, primarily for reduced sound leakage, so I wouldn't be opposed to closed. Over ear is all I've ever worn.
While I don't hate the EVO, i'm curious if I could do better. I remember not loving them as much as the JVC's when I first got them, but over time it stopped bothering me.
I'm curious what would be the best built pair of headphones I could get, say under 300$? Feel free to give things outside that range, I'm in Canada, so it'll be like 500$ for me at that price anyways >.>
