Sure, you can get better build quality with a metal chassis but plastic headphones are much lighter on the head than metal, which make them more comfortable.
- alias_neo 6y agoI still have a pair of Sony MDR-1RBT; in their prime they were £400. I've had them going on 8 years now, they still work perfectly after daily use outdoors, in the rain, thrown in bags etc for ~7 of those years. Battery still lasts 2-3 weeks with ~2 hours use per day and the only "damage" is the faux leather on the headband and ear cups peeling. I replaced the latter and it's like having a brand new pair of headphones. Now granted that the codecs are old and audio quality will be better on something more modern, but I'd love to see if the air-pods last as long, particularly if given the same abuse my Sony's have had.
