What other headphones are repairable at that price point?
- diffeomorphism 6y agoPretty much all of them?
- emsy 6y agoA lot of high-end headphones have interchangeable earpads, cables and sometimes even headbands.
- formerly_proven 6y agoBeyerdynamic cans for ~120 €: replaceable padding, replaceable headband, replaceable cord, replaceable transducers. Only the last two need tools.
- colourgarden 6y agoWhich model? I'm torn between getting the Sennheiser PXC 550-II or Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC.
- bshimmin 6y agoI have the DT 770 Pro, which I'm not sure they still make anymore, and it has been a ten year love affair. I am reliably informed that you can, as the grandparent says, replace most parts of them, but I have never needed to - they are very, very robust. Mine do look a little dog-eared but honestly nothing most people would worry about. And, obviously, they sound great.
- nojito 6y agoThese are wireless...
- hprotagonist 6y agoextremely high end audio gear can usually be dissembled down to its constituent parts and rebuilt from scratch. usually because it’s for industry professionals who thrash their gear pretty hard.
- mrkeen 6y agoI'm not sure what the price point adds to it. Maybe headsets less than $100 are to be considered disposable? Most of my headsets have detachable XLR cables, and some of them have replaceable ear cushions too. Last week I took the ear cushions off my AKG Q701 (5 years old?), put them through the washing machine, and they came out great.
