R.i.p. Mdr-v700

Okay, before anything else, these headphones were awesome. I loved em. After 2 years of use, its time to finally retire them. No, they didn't crack, the left headphone side (the one I use) finally munched it and blew. I guess I could crack em open and switch the speaker from the right side over to the left, but I am not going to be that cheap. Anyways... 2 years. Thats pretty good.

Now I am trying to decide whether or not to go with the same kind or try something new....

personally i have found that sound degredation occurs in headphones noticeable from 18 months of heavy use. with the cones being so close to your ear it is easy to hear just how some of the frequencies are not broadcasted effectively when compared to a new pair of the same model.

Try the Sony MDR-V6, I had 2 pairs and they've worked very well for me. I like the midrange/high treble boost, it makes beatmatching very easy using hi-hats and percussion. The only thing I can't comment on is how well they work in the club, as the isolation is somewhat thinner than the 700's. Also consider the Sens HD-280, I havn't used them myself but have heard they have similar boosted mid/highs and the isolation should be more formidable than the Sonys.

I own the second ones. Awesome 'phones. No problems whatsoever.
