Ages ago (probably early 90s) I purchased - for admittedly a lot of money - a Beyerdynamic Headphones, which was also used a lot of it. Sometime gnawed also where the ravages of time and ear cushions and foam inserts crumbled so slowly to himself, so I already played with the idea of a new headset to buy, but this was impossible because headphones with this comfort no longer exist either or are simply unaffordable. But Beyerdynamic have done something for the high purchase price: all wearing parts on such a thing are obviously ordered to eternity - that saved the good piece and saved seen such a lot of money. Conclusion: At first rather invest a little, because quality manufacturers do something that their products actually keep long. Oh, I am glad that the good old piece now holds again for decades! Fine!
