I've had two pairs, both broken WAY too soon after WAY to little usage.
First one snapped off where it's adjustable, the second pair lost all sound to one of the cups and just now snapped on BOTH sides. I got the second pair because they were still under warranty. I wouldnt have never bought the second pair otherwise.
Even tier is I'm competting in a competition this afternoon.
Do not buy Stanton 3000 headphones if you wish to own a quality product. |

That's why I have one set of Sony 7506's, and one set of Sony V6's.. :p |

| They ing suck. I bought a pair originally and the sound just suddenly shat out. First it was the bass, then the hi's and mids became completely inaudible. cans, especially for the price you pay. Mine only lasted six months. |

OY!
Actually it looks like I made it to the next round. I dazzled them with banging jams they'd never heard. MUAHAHAH!

A gift, with a warranty. If you have some money you'd like to loan me for some 7506s however, I'd be more than happy go buy them! |

Sorry about your luck Allied Nations. Although I do agree with you on the aspect of a poorly manufactured product, you do fail to mention the positive aspects (though few and far between).
I love the sound of the Stanton DJ Pro 3000's. They've been my babies for quite some time now. I love how they give that little rumble when you crank the volume. They're exceptionally comfortable, and just great sounding headphones.
However...
Within 2 years of using them, I am on my 8th pair. Yes, that's correct, you read that right: 8th pair.
Luckily, I live in Canada, and they had a warranty program in place so that if you break them, they over-the-counter exchange them on the spot for new ones. One store decided not to adhere to this policy so I had to find another place that had them to do the swap out once they inevitably broke, in the same spot, over and over again.
But hey, why listen to me: I've gone through 8 pairs of headphones. I MUST be rough with them right? Heh, unfortunately once again, I'm not. I baby my gear, way too much. I don't let anyone use my stuff, and I am constantly inspecting it to make sure everything is the way it should be.
I now have a backup pair that I constantly travel with just in case I break them during a gig. Headphones are quite important for DJ's and all ;)
If you have an understanding store that you get your gear from who knows the trouble with them, no problem as they sound great. If you don't know, or aren't sure on the return policy for a product that WILL break eventually (usually it's sooner than later unfortunately) I'd choose a different set of cans. |

Not to criticize your choice of cans Chris, but if I'm on my 8th pair of cans in 2 yrs, I'd seriously consider finding an alternative, no matter what the other good qualities that set of cans have.
If a pair of cans can't take some abuse, it's no good to me. |

Warranty ;) I haven't paid for more than one pair. Until the warrenty runs out I don't see any reason to bother with buying another pair really, as I said I love the sound.
I plan to get either the Pioneer or Technics after these inevitably break. |
