Take the Grados. Those cans are VERY durable, easy to drive and the soundstage is nice.

 

[miscreant]

no, dont want grados this time

Are you going to be doing roadwork or something? Why do you need them to be extremely durable?

Sennheiser HD25? Not that big of a soundstage, but it's thé most durable headphone ever. And the SP version is easy to drive, so is the normal version with 70 Ohm. I use it daily with just my iPod or iPhone

Maybe to use them as a helmet and listen properly to music at the same time?

Good theory.

no. they are for my brother and he can break ANYthing. ... hm.. not accurate enough - he breaks everything. yes.

Beyerdynamic #dt 770/880/990 are nearly unbreakable.
HD25 aswell, but this headphone has no soundstage.

wait.. Grado's - Durable? since when?

DT770S, Hands down. These things are built like a BrickS@@t House

I'll second (or third?) the HD25 (either the HD25-1 or HD25SP) for being easy to drive and very sturdy, but again the sound stage is not much to speak of.

The Beyers I'd imagine would also be hardy and have better staging, but harder to drive; Beyerfans please correct me if I'm wrong, since I've not heard one.

Lol my brother is the same way. It's his birthday this weekend and I'm getting him a pair of Grado SR60s, if he breaks 'em, well, they can probably be glued/soldered back into a usable state.
