Hi, yesterday my portable headphones broke again! one side just stop sounding (what seems to be the more common way for heads to stop working), they didnt even fall! I live in Peru, so each time i buy a headphone i have to import it from the US, i have to wait, pay more, sometimes make paperwork etc, so i dont want to do it in a long time, and that's why i am looking for a extra durable portable headphone:
-i prefer open headphones but i dont mind close ones (if they are not too congested and have at least decent imaging and soundstage)
-Portable
-Durable (please durable headphones!)
-less than 150 but i might be willing to pay up to 200 IF i hear a good justification for it.
-i am coming from a koss ktxpro, i kinda liked them, but they were a litte uncomfortable.
my ideas:
-on the open side i am considering the sennheiser hd239, but i am not sure if it is durable enough (the cable seems al little slim). i can get them for 60 (without shiping)
-on the closed side i am considering a v moda m-80, but i am not sure if they sound good enough (i had read mixed opinions hear) i can get the for 90 (with out shipping)
i like that the v moda come with a case, and that they seem durable (i dont like to throw them on my backpack without protection, it makes me unconfortable), how does the two compare (in the aspects that can be compared amog them , treble detail, etc ) i am looked at the v moda xs, but i am not sure if they are worth 110 more than the m80 (and 140 more than the senn).
i hear mostly rock, but also other things, i would like a detailed and well balanced headphone.
what's your opinion? what other options do i have? ( i have a koss pro dj100, so those can help also to give me a better idea)
Please help me! i can't really go to a store and try them out : /
thanks a lot
