I used to swear by V-Moda for portable headphones. They were highly repairable (you could replace the pads, band, cables, and even the driver if you really wanted). That was, until their Bluetooth enabled line. It had no parts available, and even at that was non trivial to fix with 3rd party parts.
These days, I love my beyerdynamic headphones. I've replaced the drivers, cables, pads, etc over their 10 year life. Only recently have I retired my first pair because of an upgrade. That being said, there's no Bluetooth / wireless, but I'm largely okay with that. If I really needed it, I'd be fine with an external module that hooks up to the cable.
- mgsloan2 3y agoSame path for me, I like the v-moda headphones a lot, but the hinge mechanism is way too fragile, and the charge port broke, so the bluetooth pair was my last v-moda headphone. I also switched to beyerdynamic and have been very happy with them. Only downside of this durability is that they are not foldable - would be great to have headphones with a high durability folding mechanism
