Sennheiser headphones sturdiness
I am doing a little survey on Sennheiser headphones.
The two I am mostly interested in are the HD-280 and the HD-555, particularly the latter that has lower impedance. What I am worried about is sturdiness and being able to stand intense use in field locations. |
I've had a pair of HD280's for over two years now and they've held up very well, despite a bit of abuse (though I've taken pretty good care of them). The padding for the top of your head has begun to fray a little bit, but this (and other parts) is replaceable. I just got another set in November.

Do you have the standard or the pro type? |
My HD280 Pros have been solid. My boys have both used and abused them. The earpads got a bit roughed up when the younger left it on the garage floor when recording his band. I think they accidentally kicked it around some. They were pretty dirty after the episode. I still haven't replaced the pads, though they are replaceable.
I have a pair at work, and my abused ones at home. Neither has had any problems, and they sound the same. |
I've done the most unspeakable things to my HD 25s (not deliberately, you understand!) --- still going strong , and still sounding very sweet!
