Is sennheiser notorious for flimsy phones? My 5h's fell apart with light use and these cracks are disheartening. I might give them a try with a mod of some sort though if I cannot get these hpa's up and running. That is if they are worth it.

i dont know about the higher end ones but my 555 are well made.  only bad part is the plastic near the headbands crack.  i used some clear epoxy to help make it stronger so it doesnt crack.  you can see it a little, but its tons better than having cracks everywhere.  i try to recommend it with the 555/595 models but no one has taken my advice yet.

Dt440 could work as well if you don;t want to go with the AD700.

Is the ax720 amp much of a downgrade from the mixamp? If the repair goes south, I will need a headset right away. I can upgrade in a bit if I'm not too happy with the 720s.

Anyone have an answer for op or previous question?  I could also get a pair of 595's for 145 but would need a surround amp of some sort.  Is there any cheaper option than the mixamp?  I am way over my budget.
