I think you should change the topic to "mid-priced". There is nothing "mid-fi" about the PSB phones.

Well my replacement pair now also has a cracked headband. Not too happy about it, so they are going back for a refund. The second set lasted 2 months instead of 2 weeks like the first.
I pre-ordered the M-100's because I had a feeling they wouldn't last. A shame, I've really enjoyed these headphones. Opened my ears up to good quality sound.
Spewing the build quality wasn't as good as the sound quality.
Sorry to hear, but based on this I can take the upcoming M4U1 off my short list. The new Sennheiser Momentum also looks sturdy.
It's all subjective. When people pay $1300 for "Hifi" headphones, then pay more for an amp, then Mid-Fi would be around 600 and lower.
Again, it's all subjective anyway.

hi there....was just wondering how common the cracking of the PSB M4U has been.....they are on my wish list but would like to avoid the hassle of having to have them replaced every now and then no matter how reassuring the people from PSB are. Has there been anybody who got the PSB M4U 2 and has not encountered any problems with the headband cracking following normal use?
Also are the V-Moda M100 a good alternative set of headphones if I decide that it's not worth taking the risk? I would prefer headphones that can be used on the go, have balanced sound on all frequencies whereas some noise cancellation would be of benefit when commuting, flying etc
Cheers

I've owned and used my M4U 2 on a daily basis since April 17. I've yet to have my headband crack, creak or otherwise. They still look like they were when I opened them from the box on that day. According to PSB, it was only a small subset of these cans that did suffer those cracking problems, so maybe it was a different plastic maker, different process, or something else that made this subset more prone to cracks.
Craigster, you've been singing the praises of these PSB cans for quite some time stating they are on your short list, yet you've never bought a pair. And you've never heard the M-100 yet you've already considered them as "favourable" to the PSB and have already ordered a set of those (which still aren't shipping), I'm a bit confused here. Do you have a history with V-Moda? What was it about the PSB that you didn't like or thought could be bettered by V-Moda or "other" cans? Or was it just that you knew the M-100 was coming out so you thought you'd wait (for many months) and compare?
