I am the chief engineer of a college radio station, and I am looking for a new workhorse headphone for our on-air studio. For the past few years we have used Sennheiser HD-202s, but these simply do not last in this environment.
I have been looking at the Sennheiser HD-205s, but many reviews complain about tightness. I would hate to field complaints from dozens of students, as there would be no real solution. I have also been looking at the Sennheiser HD-201s, but I fear they are about as resilient as the 202s.
I am looking for headphones that feature a single cable (a 'y' style cable seems to be too prone to breakage) and a price of not more than $70(the lower the better, I have better things to purchase). I also need to be able to repair these when they break -- mainly cord issues, but inexpensive replacement drivers and pads would be a plus.
Oh, they also have to look professional and expensive. I know it seems like a lame requirement, but so many judgments are made on looks alone. Can Head-Fi help me out in this specific request?
